I am relatively new to using Exponential, but have experience with other CMS products and work with a solid team of developers who are more familiair with Exponential. I am working on a university project and they would like to have repeating events, specifically for student seminars and symposiums. I was wondering how others have tackled repeating events. Most other CMS tools I have used have some repeating event functionality, or we rolled it by hand. Esentially, we always created distinct objects (or nodes in ez terms) for each event as determined by the repeating criteria, for example, every Monday for the next 4 weeks, etc. Are there other approaches or tactics that might be more useful in Exponential? It would be great to hear what other groups have tried and where their successes have been and what pieces are tougher. I assume an ez Component will be put together to handle the repeating events, but if this wheel has already been invented, I'd love to reuse existing work or help improve any current projects.
Thanks in advance!
