I as wondering if anyone could help me with a problem? I am using fullcalendar and it works great, but I would like to add the ability to repeat events upon user requests (by the way i’m using the selectable calendar). In other words I want to give them an option to recure the events based off whatever they choose (weekly, daily, monthly, unorganized days). I have read the docs and I know that recurring events are based off of the id and you basically add the days to the original date, but I am not sure how to do it without making a loop adding multiple events that may or may not be necessary.
My thought was to provide a column in mysql that gives a recurring option based off of the selection. Any ideas on how I should approach this. Does anyone possibly have an example that I can brainstorm on? All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Here’s what I did to implement recurring events in fullcalendar.

I did end up using a loop to add events to my events table based on the recurring frequency. I know it’s not the most efficient but it works for my purposes.
One thing to consider is how much flexibility do you need? Do you need an event to repeat every Tuesday/Thursday, every 3rd Saturday, the last day of the month, or simply every week on a certain day? The more flexibility you need, the more complex your solution will need to be.
