Recurrence with only one event showed at once?

Hi,
perhaps others have this problem too:
When I have a recurrent event every week and I create a recurrence serie, then I have in eventlist all these events and that looks not so good.
My question for a new feature is: is there a possibility to show only the next recurrent event, and all others (in one week, zwo weeks...) are hidden. When the first event is archived the next event is showed, but all the others not. and so on.

I know the recurrence is one of the most difficult parts of JEM. :silly:

Hi Jojo,

generally it should be possible. My first idea would be to have an additional field "number of events to show" within the recurrence params so you could specify it for each series independent from it's overall time span (default 0 - no limit).

A bit difficult is the fact that a user could archive events with a day offset, e.g. keep events published as long as they aren't at least two days over. So one detail decision would be to always show X events or X events from today on which could sometimes show X+1 events.

A second decision is the priority related to the global creation window. Meaning if you limit auto-create to e.g. two weeks and have a monthly series with 1 event to show (sure, a bit constructed) - which of them takes priority? Because the window is required to prevent unlimited creation one could ignore this here because X is a limit too.

btw: Now I'm sure you've a German keyboard ("zwo") :laugh: - a good example of hidden information.

just to note..

with JEM 3 it's maybe easier to handle as all recurrences are stored in a table. also the masterdata (data from the set) is there and we can add an aditional option.

but the recurrence in general should be tried out better.
