Need more recurrence choices for number of weeks
Posted: Mon Dec 12, 2011 6:50 pm
Hi,
Love the new calendar! And thanks for fixing the email notifications! That is going to make my life a lot easier.
I have a need to add an recurring event for a scheduled building cleaning that will occur every 15 weeks on a Saturday morning. Why 15 weeks? Well, we have 3 wards in our building, and we rotate on the schedule each week, and then in our ward we share the load by auxiliaries and groups, and we have 5 of those in the rotation. So each of my auxiliaries and groups is responsible for the building cleaning every 15 weeks.
So, my problem is that the recurring weeks number is a drop down list with only 1 through 10 in it. I need 15. And who knows, perhaps someone else might want 26 to schedule a semi-annual meeting... Either way, could we have that number be a simple text box that lets us type in our number? Perhaps validate that it is between 1 and 100 or something so you don't get incorrect entries, or entries with characters in them... If that is not possible then please add more choices to the drop down list! Thanks!
I have been able to create my events using Chrome to change the drop down list selection choices, and making one of them 15 and saving my event. That worked, but the down side is that if anyone else with editing authority in the ward council gets in there and attempts to save the event, it will revert back to a weekly event because the drop down list cannot pre-select 15 when you load the event, and so it instead defaults to the first one in the list, 1. Please fix this for me.
I checked to see where to ask my question, and first saw a post suggesting this type of request should go on the Feedback link at the bottom of lds.org. However, when I went there the link said "Do you have Feedback about this page?". So, I looked on the help button from the calendar which took me to the wiki, and the help text there said to post a message here. My apologies if I've put this in the wrong place.
Thanks in advance!
