Yes, looks like ~~bug #4438~~ was a duplicate of this.

I believe this is fixed, and you can close the ticket. I don't remember a specific commit that fixed it (I think I remember Jan working on something to do with this, and maybe it got fixed in the process), but it's working for me now. Thanks! Rick

This bug does not have a solution? or workaround for SQL backend? Thanks... Sebastian Calero.

Alright. I'm stumped on this one for now. I've stared at it, and I'm just not sure how to handle this in the recurrence functions. MCAL's weekly recurrence code is commented "/* XXX i have no idea how this code works */" (and MCAL doesn't handle events spanning multiple days anyway). PHPiCalendar may or may not handle it, but their code is completely untraceable. Any help on it would be wonderful.

Display problem was probably php5-specific; fixed now.

Btw, the first way you had the event entered is correct (recurs on Friday every 5 weeks). Checking every day will cause many other problems, among them a display bug that I'm trying to fix, but will have slightly unpredictable recurrence effect. So there are the display bugs to fix, plus the fact that the initial way you had it entered, it doesn't show up on all of the days that it should. I'm planning on fixing both.

Please stop posting screenshots; I've reproduced the problem(s) and am working on figuring out how to go about solving them.

Based on this information I received in a personal email: --- Quoted Message --- Hi Rick, I had a similar problem but I found in my case it was related to the settings that I had used for setting up the recurrance. In my case if I had an appoitment that needed to recur every 5 weeks,I'd type in the 5 but I would also need to select each of the weekday boxes that are below, otherwise it would only display for the default Friday selection. I hope this helps? :) --- End Quoted Message --- I made the recommended change (checking the boxes for each day). The display changed, but is still not right. The first occurrence of the event starts on Friday, January 14 2005 at 5:00 PM and ends on Friday, January 21 2005 at 5:00 PM. When I initially filed this bug, without the day boxes checked, in every view the event appeared on Friday January 14 2005 from 5:00 PM until midnight. The second occurrence starts on Friday, February 18 2005 at 5:00 PM and ends on Friday, February 25 2005 at 5:00 PM. In every view, the event appeared on Friday February 18 2005 from 5:00 PM until midnight. And so on, every 5 weeks. So I modified the event and checked the box for every day. Now, in every view, the first occurrence appears on Friday, January 18, Saturday, January 19, and Sunday, January 20 from 5:00 PM until midnight each day. The second occurrence appears on each day from Monday, February 14 through Sunday February 20 (should be Friday February 18 through Friday February 25), from 5:00 PM until midnight each day. In this case, the event is displayed Monday through Sunday instead of Friday through Friday, and Monday through Thursday are in the wrong week. This occurs for every subsequent occurrence. Sorry for the lengthy comment, but I hope it's clear what's happening. Rick

I entered an event that takes place from Friday at 5:00 PM until the following Friday at 5:00 PM, and set the event to recur every 5 weeks (the event tracks the time I'm on call at work). The event properly shows every 5 weeks, but only appears on the first Friday from 5:00 PM until midnight (and shows again on Friday 5 weeks in the future, etc). I expected to see the event span each day of the week. This happens in all views (month, week, day).
