Subject: Re: Ruby on rails events frequency

Fix it.. with a bodge
What I do, is create the first event, then move the code that calculates 
the next event occurrence which pushes the events FORWARD by one day - 
giving me the wanted result.
New code below:


###New Model Action###
def create_events_until
    st = starttime
    et = endtime
    p = r_period(period)
    nst, net = st, et

    self.events.create(:title => title, :description => description, 
:all_day => all_day, :starttime => nst, :endtime => net, :user_id => 
user_id,
      :remind_at => remind_at, :remind_setting => remind_setting, 
:remind_value => remind_value, :set_reminder => set_reminder, 
:calendar_id => calendar_id, :resource_ids => resource_ids)

    while frequency.send(p).from_now(st) <= END_TIME

      nst = st = frequency.send(p).from_now(st)
      net = et = frequency.send(p).from_now(et)

      self.events.create(:title => title, :description => description, 
:all_day => all_day, :starttime => nst, :endtime => net, :user_id => 
user_id,
      :remind_at => remind_at, :remind_setting => remind_setting, 
:remind_value => remind_value, :set_reminder => set_reminder, 
:calendar_id => calendar_id, :resource_ids => resource_ids)

      if period.downcase == 'monthly' or period.downcase == 'yearly'
        begin
          nst = 
DateTime.parse("#{starttime.hour}:#{starttime.min}:#{starttime.sec}, 
#{starttime.day}-#{st.month}-#{st.year}")
          net = 
DateTime.parse("#{endtime.hour}:#{endtime.min}:#{endtime.sec}, 
#{endtime.day}-#{et.month}-#{et.year}")
        rescue
          nst = net = nil
        end
      end
    end
  end
