Well, I was able to achieve thesomething similar by adding a separate property to my 'Event' doctype. Here is some XSLT I use to display the dates on the Event detail page.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet 
    version="1.0" 
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
    xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
    xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltCommon="urn:Exslt.ExsltCommon" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes="urn:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltMath="urn:Exslt.ExsltMath" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions="urn:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltStrings="urn:Exslt.ExsltStrings" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltSets="urn:Exslt.ExsltSets" xmlns:Designit.VideoEmbed="urn:Designit.VideoEmbed" xmlns:pdcalendar="urn:pdcalendar"

I hope this can help someone out!

Hi Heather,

I like the idea and I allready been thinking on how to implement this. At the moment I think the EndDate is not implemented as is should be. The EndDate should reflect the actual EndDate of a single event. Right now it reflects the Enddate of the series of events. In a future release I will change this and add a third date (FinalDate or something) which reflects the date after which the event never occurs anymore. The current EndDate will then reflect the date a single event ends.

I love the way how you solved it though :) Glad you figured out which values the pdrec stands for ;)

Peter

Sounds great, Peter, because then you could possibly have multi-day recurring events (like if you had a monthly weekend workshop, for instance.)

Gotta love "xsl:copy" ;-)
