Recurring Events support available for Sitefinity 3.7, 3.6

October 07, 2010

We're happy to announce the availability of Recurring Events components that enhance the standard Sitefinity Events Module with support for recurring events creation and maintenance.

A dedicated evaluation website is available: please sign-up to assess the new functionality against your needs.

Functional highlights:

• • Recurrence interval: day, week, month, year.
• • Multiple weekday support for weekly events.
• • Relative date support for monthly, yearly events (e.g. 2nd Tuesday of the month every 2 months; 1st Monday of September every year).
• • Easy maintenance: update / delete all events in a series, update only the current instance, reset a recurring instance to single event.
• • Existent and future custom meta-fields are automatically included in the recurring event creation / updates.
• • Events List View includes additional fields: "Event Start", "Event End" dates with sorting enabled; "Recurrence" field displays the type of recurring event (parent, instance, or blank for standard events); links are available for each recurring item that allow for recurrence pattern display, and series filtering.
• • Events Calendar View displays the recurring events with a different colour vs. the standard events, and a "recurring event icon" in the top-left corner. Date-picker is enabled to easily navigate to any date. Also, the response time of the calendar view is improved with about 70%
