Event on the third saturday of every month

[lewisevans777]

Is it possible to set the add to calendar to specify an event that happens on the third saturday of every month? if so, how?

[jekuer]

Yes!

You would either set:

recurrence="monthly"
recurrence_interval="1"
recurrence_byDay="3SA"

or use an RRULE like this:

recurrence="RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=3SA"

Mind that the date you set needs to be a third Saturday as well. Otherwise, it breaks at the calendar provider.

Excellent! Many thanks. I would never have worked that out!

Well, I have followed the instructions and added a couple of other things, but it won't show up. Can you tell me what is wrong in this code?

Many thanks.

[lewisevans777]

Oh, the code didn't copy.

`<add-to-calendar-button

Can you add the debug option (simply add "debug" as attribute) and share what the browser console says?

[lewisevans777]

I’m sorry, I am not a developer. I don’t understand this instruction. Add debug where? How do I add it as an attribute? Forgive me. This is foreign territory.

no worries.
Like this:
<add-to-calendar-button debug name="title" ... />

[lewisevans777]

Ah! Magic.

I guess images do not show up, when you reply by email.

Then that's the issue 😃 .
I am 98% sure that the two quotation marks in my screenshot above are no clean double quotes, but some special character:

Usually, this happens, when preparing this code in Word or similar text editors.

[lewisevans777]

Yes! That worked. 😊 The only bit that doesn’t work now are the icons for 'Outlook.com','Microsoft 365','Microsoft Teams','Yahoo'. Any ideas? I have used them before but they don’t show this time. Many thanks for your help!

Not without looking at the actual implementation.

[lewisevans777]

It's the same code as above in this thread, and I have checked the quotation marks are the same as the ones that worked before.
`
options="'Apple','Google','iCal','Microsoft 365','Microsoft Teams','Outlook.com','Yahoo'"

[jekuer]

What I meant: The code seems correct. There is no obvious reason why the icons would not show up. So, this can have something to do with a lot of very specific things in your setup. From the script version to OS to device to other scripts on the same page.
I could maybe help when seeing it myself in production. Otherwise, it would be random guessing.

[lewisevans777]

OK, many thanks - yet again. How would I show it to you 'in production'?
Really appreciating you taking the time on this. I may not reply again for a while as I am driving....

[jekuer]

You can either send me a link to your website, where I can observe it - or you use something like CodePen to create a demo of the problem. Something like this.

If everything gets too complicated, you could also check out our PRO offering as it comes with way easier setup and management.

Here's one where I thought it was working, although I now see several are not live links. https://lewisevans.net/cognac2023/
And here's the one I am working on now, that shows just three of them. https://thewhysmen.com/monthly-pub-world-gathering/

[jekuer]

Ah, got you.
When using recurrence, the button only shows the calendar options, which safely support this! That's why you are not seeing all of them.
I also noticed that your layout overlaps with the list. You can optimize your HTML/CSS or use the forceOverlay option.

Have a nice day!

[lewisevans777]

Many thanks, Jens – and for the tip on the overlay. I tink I can give the button a higher z value in Thrive.
