I'm about to add some simple calendar functions to my application, and
I'm thinking of how I should implement recurring events. Are there one
standard way most people use that works well? I guess you have some kind
of emitter event that creates the recurring events and a group id that
holds the events together. How long forward does one usually create the
events. Two-three years...?
Sorry if I'm a bit blury. But any ideas on recurring events are welcome.
I guess I could just hack something together, but it would be fun to do
it right.
If you're on Unix you will need a cron job that runs every x minutes.
That could check a database for jobs/tasks that need running, using the
current time and an option like "run this job every 10 minutes" to
determine what needs running, (ie in that case if the current time isn't
divisible by ten then don't run it).
