I am using the date and date repeat module package in order to create events on my website. I have recently converted a D6 website into D7, and am using the most up-to-date modules. In D6, you were able to select multiple repeat frequencies... ie) first and third saturday of the month - see http://screencast.com/t/UYSS4F7h5E23. In D7, there is no option for this and you must choose a single repeat frequency - see http://screencast.com/t/vO0rwZBrb.

As you can see, the D7 version provides a radio for a single selection while the old D6 version allows for multiple select. I do have quite a few events that would be using this. For now, I have created 2 separate events. One repeats on the first Saturday and the other repeats on the third Saturday.

Any help to get this moving would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

We also have a client that has requested this specific functionality. It was available in an earlier version of D7 date repeat, but the functionality disappeared with the update to the new repeat selection interface.

@ajlangsdon: do you know what the repeat rule looked like previously? I think you would have to look in the database to find this. For example, a current repeat rule for an event is:

RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=+1WE;UNTIL=20141221T045959Z;WKST=SU
EXDATE:20121219T050000Z

I'm wondering it we could just add dropdown options like "First and Third" that would make the BYDAY portion of the repeat rule something like:
BYDAY=+1,+3
