Event Missing from Event Listing Calendar Table

Happy New Year! I am trying to understand why an event which shows on the event calendar (on January 15) is not showing in the event listing which uses the custom template add-on and the calendar table.

The event is titled “Private Event – Seasons Hospice and Palliative Care” and the page it is missing from is: http://kennett-design.com/event-listing/ which is using the following shortcode:
[EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW template_name="kdcaltable" change_title="Painting / Artist" show_recurrence="false" event_status = "public" order_by=date(start_date),id]

The custom template ‘kdcaltable’ can be found here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4138085/kdcaltable.zip

If you go the event calendar page http://kennett-design.com/calendar/ you’ll see it is one of two events for Jan 15, 2016.

Thanks for your help!

Greg

Hi Greg,

It might be the show_recurrence=false parameter. Any events that display on the Calendar that are set up as recurring events will not display on your event list because the parameter is set to false.

Hi Josh,

I don’t believe this a recurring event. I put a screenshot of the event settings here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4138085/kd-event.jpg

So to be sure I changed the shortcode to remove the show_recurrence=”false” part and now the event does indeed show up. But I guess I’m more confused now because this was not setup as a recurring event. It was probably created by duplicating (copying) from another event but it is only a single occurring event.

What would make EE3 think this is recurring?

It checks for a ‘recurrence_id’ set in the _events_detail table. If there’s an non-zero, non-NULL value set in the row for that event, EE3 will flag the event as recurring.

Okay, that makes sense technically, but how would that field get set functionally (from a user’s point of view)?

Hi Greg,

The user should not be able to set that value unless creating/duplicating a recurring event.

I have created a ticket for this to be investigated and we will update this thread with any findings.
