DHTMLX scheduler recurring event id(id#timestamp) getting failed in DHTMLX functions

Question

I am developing a recurring event feature in already working DHTMLX scheduler. I am able to insert the recurring event in my DB. When I try to update the event. It gives me error in setUpdated(), sendData() and getState() functions of DHTMLX javascript. As, these methods are working perfectly, in normal event_id(e.g: 132) but not working in recurring event_id(id#timestamp). Please give me your advice. Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

The described issues occur because of the specific behavior of the recurring events. All series of the recurring events are technically the single event with the normal id, like id: 1. All other occurrences are parts of this event that don't exist till they won't be shown in the current view. To they can't be accessed by the getEvent() call if they don't display in the current view.

You can get the required event using the getEvents(from ,to) method: https://docs.dhtmlx.com/scheduler/api__scheduler_getevents.html which "generates" all occurrences that should be displayed: https://prnt.sc/1qgx1hl

Hope it will be easier to do the required thing with this info. Also, you can check out the guide of updating occurrences by the following link: https://docs.dhtmlx.com/scheduler/recurring_events.html#editingdeletingacertainoccurrenceintheseries
