When I try to add an exception to my recurring fullcalendar event, it is not doing anything. The recurring event is displayed correctly each week, but without any exception.
What I am trying to achieve is to show a series of events, with the exclusion of a certain date or even better a range between dates and times, like described here in the part "Exclusion Properties": https://fullcalendar.io/docs/rrule-plugin
This is my event:
events: [
{
id: '291',
resourceId: '29',
color: '#71CA83',
textColor: '#ffffff',
description: 'Manager1 Manager1 : 08:00:00 - 10:30:00',
rrule: {
freq: 'weekly',
interval: 1,
byweekday: 'rrule.RRule.MO',
dtstart: '2021-03-01T08:00:00'
},
duration: '02:00',
exdate: ['2021-10-11']
}
]
I am using fullcalendar 5.9.0 (with a commercial license) and rrule 2.6.8. Also good to mention: I am running a Macbook with MacOS Big Sur.
Can anyone tell me why this is not working? I have tried multiple solutions and read a lot of documentation, but nothing seems to work.
You need to specify the time to exclude in your exdate as well, otherwise it won't match to the specific timeslot mentioned in the dstart setting.
exdate: ['2021-10-11T08:00']

If you only specify the date in exdate, then it only looks for "all-day" events to exclude, it does not account for everything occurring within that day. I didn't write the code or specification for this obviously, but it's possible to imagine a scenario where you want to exclude certain all-day events on specific days, but still show timed events. I would imagine the intention with this behaviour was to account for that scenario.
