Use our Recurring Events badge to highlight certain events.
There are two parts to this design item

People who are using our Pushpay/CCB integration...
The CCB information on event recurrence information comes into Display.Church via text (descriptive, human-readable) format. We use a library to parse recurrence text into RRULE. For some recurrences, this parse procedure can't produce the valid RRULE. The main reasons this happens is that the recurrence information is too complex for the parse procedure.
Our production is currently optimized to handle recurrence patterns as reliably as possible. However, we want to be transparent that there is no 100% bulletproof solution at the moment.
That is, the core limitation lies in how Pushpay/CCB defines and exposes recurrence data through their API—it’s not an exact format, and we have to interpret it as best as we can. Because of this, we can’t guarantee that every complex recurrence pattern will be parsed perfectly, nor are we currently in a position to invest significant time to handle all edge cases unless the upstream format changes.

Yet, in each section, you will see the Merge recurring events button At the moment, it is toggled off (greyed out in image below).
Toggle this button on (blue color in image above) to activate the feature.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
To understand how it works think of the events on the screen as a 'page' of the events. For example, when you choose Show all events, your page is every event from the beginning till the end of the month. If you select Show 3 events, then your page would be the next three events from now.
A recurrent event will be shown once per page.
If you choose Infinite scroll, a recurring event will be shown once. If infinite scroll and month navigation is on then it will be shown once per selected month.
If you choose Show all events, you will see one occurrence per month.
If you choose Show only upcoming events, you will see one occurrence per month. Past recurring events for that month will not be shown. On the next month they will be shown again.
If you choose Show (#) events, you will see one occurrence per number of events you chose. For example, if your recurrent event is every Monday and today is Monday, it will appear once. If Show event page scroll is on and showing the next events, it will no longer appear, even when scrolling to the next week. However, if today is Tuesday, scrolling to the next Monday (the Monday of the following week), the recurring event will appear again.
If you choose Show current week events only, you will see one occurrence per week.
