[tantek] [Al_Abut] I like to think of such references as little easter eggs for newcomers to discover, stop in their tracks, re-read, and then wonder what exactly kind of group they have stumbled upon

Loqi [preview] [Aaron Parecki] Recurring Events for Meetable
#
capjamesg I have a quick question: how are orphaned events prevented?
[Jo]1, [morgan]1, [ggirelli]1 and aaronpk joined the channel
#
aaronpk they aren't entirely prevented, but hopefully only creating a few out in advance helps
#
capjamesg Ah do I have to renew my recurring event every few weeks?

#
[tantek] I wonder if there is any way to "hook up" past events to the current "series" so someone visiting a past event can follow their nose to the most recent one
#
[tantek] we do this manually on the wiki with IWC pages, with a banner template at the top

#
aaronpk tags?
#
aaronpk there isn't actually any visible connection between the recurring events other than tags anyway
#
aaronpk oh and I also added this "tag feed" option to the "add to calendar" dropdown https://media.aaronpk.com/2025/11/26102751-6629.png
#
aaronpk it picks the first tag of the event, so ideally you'd use a specific tag for the series like hwc-london
barnaby joined the channel
#
[tantek] oh interesting, somehow I thought the recurring event feature would connect the events (sequential nav like view next / prev event in the series etc.)
#
[tantek] might be good to put some copy in the event creating/editing UI to pick an "event specific" tag first to help that "Tag Feed" feature
#
aaronpk 👍
#
aaronpk yeah, i went with an extremely minimal approach first. I didn't want to overcomplicate things or require a bunch of new management tools
#
aaronpk it's more of an "auto-clone" feature

#
[artlung] what is classicpress?
#
Loqi ClassicPress is a community fork of WordPress that emerged due to resistance to the introduction of the Gutenberg visual editor https://indieweb.org/ClassicPress
#
[artlung] nice! forgot we had that
#
[tantek] aaronpk did you use a 🧹 as an icon?
#
aaronpk is that a broom??
#
capjamesg 🧹
#
[tantek] Yes
#
aaronpk i don't get it
