From Adrianm6254:

For example, I wish to make an event repeat every month on the 1st and 3rd week of each month.

1) I select "create content"
2) Select "Event"
3) Select "Repeat"
4) Change Repeats to Monthly
5) Select "On the"...

The Calendar Instructions I have found says I should be able to select "First" and "Third" using the control key, but I am unable to do this. All I can do is select one item.

This means I have to create 2 events in order to make an event appear twice in the same month.

Could you tell me where you saw those calendar directions? As far as I know this is one of the limitations of the system that we are using - that one cannot have an event repeat on, for example, the first and third sundays of the month. If someone has figured out a way to do this I would like to know what it is.

I found a video tutorial on youtube that explains how to setup repeating events on Drupal 7 sites.

The url is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NZQ83Pqh1-0.

Ah, yes, this example is using a very old version of the date module, early 2012, in which such a thing was possible. It is not possible now, but I see that there has recently been a patch suggested which would make it possible. It is in #1437220: Unable to select multiple byday,bymonth,etc. rrule part values in repeating dates and hopefully I can do some testing on it sometime soon.

The patch in the above linked issue needs to be heartily reviewed and tested, and then it can be incorporated into the Incubator.

I have applied the patch to my production site and it seems to be working great.

So far there have been no issues.
