I am looking at using the Events module (Events_05.00.03) as the basis for reminders. This will including things such as domain renewals which are renewed every 2 years. It seems simple enough but when I set an event renewal as being on (Start date and End date) 5 May 2010 and as a recurring event every 2 Years ending on (Recurrance End date)14 May 2020 I get the error message - End date/time must be greater than start date/time.

The only way I can actually save the event is to set the End Date to the same as the Recurrance End date. The event then shows on all the dates in between, which is clearly wrong.

Surely the End date is for the individual event and not the end of all the recurrances. I suspect that the code is checking the End date and not the Recurrance End date when checking that the event can actually recur.

It may not be relevant but I have set the timezone to GMT

P.S. Daily, Monthly and Annual events seem to work fine, so it looks like the Recurring event options is broken.

I have found the problem. I need to set the End date to be at least 1/2 hour after the Start date. The entry then works. mea culpa :s

No problem, I was going to ask you if you had the end time after the start time. We don't support 0 minute events as yet, though you could set it as an all day event.

Cheers
