Dates are missing for repeated dates

I am also having a similar issue:

Repeats the first Sunday and the third Sunday and the fifth Sunday every month until Sun Oct 31 2010

January, March, May, July - all seem to missing repeated dates. It seems to be having this problem for alternating months. Tried setting starting day of week to different days, but it makes no difference.

I was using 6.x-2.0-rc4 version of the module.

Can you look in the database and see exactly what the ical rule says for that date? Is everyone who sees this problem using Monday as the first day of the week?

Thanks Karen for getting back to me.

The Ical Rule is:

RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=1SU,3SU,5SU;UNTIL=20101031T000000;WKST=SU

Rows in database are:

I have the following Date and Time Settings:
Default Time Zone: America/New_York
User Configurable Time Zones: Disabled (Didn't make a difference what I set to)
First Day of Week: Sunday (Didn't make a difference what I set to)

I am trying to set up Eclipse with debugging so I can step through the code, but haven't been fully successful yet in setting breakpoints in modules. Please let me know if I can do anything else to help track down the problem.

This is very helpful. I can see you're repeating on Sunday, the first day of the week, you are searching for more than one match for that day, and you are including a search for the 5th Sunday, which does not always exist. I can just look at that and see that there is potential for misses :)

And I can replicate the problem, which means I can now debug it, so I'll work on that now.

To the others, I need to know if that is the same pattern that is failing for you. I suspect a bug in one or more of the following patterns:

* a date that repeats on the first day of the your week, whatever day is the first day of your week,
* a bug when searching for multiple matches on that day (like the 1st and 3rd),
* or a bug when searching for the 5th occurrence when there is not always a 5th occurrence.

I found arcane's problem and fixed it. When searching for things like 'the 5th Sunday', in months without a 5th Sunday it jumped ahead to the next month prematurely, causing the next month to get skipped. That fix is in cvs and will hit the -dev version of the tarball tonight.

Now I'm going to see if I can find ulf1's problem. The code that looks for 'every' Monday is a different than the code that looks for the '1st' Sunday, so it may need a different fix.

Thanks Karen,

Looking forward to testing the new build

@ulf1, what version of PHP are you using? I can replicate your problem when using a PHP version less than PHP 5.2, but everything works correctly in PHP 5.2+. I found a bug in the PHP4 module's computation of the first day of the week when the week starts on Monday and committed a fix for that. With that change I think all the problems in this thread are fixed.

I can verify that this fixed the problem for me. Thanks Karen!!

Karen. Thanks for getting the date repeat working in views. That was huge for the church site I am working on. In the latest nightly downloaded today i get this issue for the first time. The date skips as mentioned above. I am using Sunday as the start date for the week. You can see the skips below. Almost looks like its doing every two weeks for a weekly repeat.

Repeats every Sunday every week until Sat Dec 31 2011

Many of the fixes didn't go in until this morning, so you probably don't have them yet. The tarball won't have them until the next time it is packaged, midnight UTC. I was seeing the skipped weeks, too and committed some fixes.

This is fixed with the latest update. Also noticed the speed is much better on date repeats and I'm not getting any of the server timeouts when using repeats longer than a year.
