Installation

Download the library

Firstly, you’ll need to install django-recurrence from PyPI. The easiest way to do this is with pip:

pip install django-recurrence

Then, make sure recurrence is in your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
  ...
  'recurrence',
)

Supported Django and Python versions

Currently, django-recurrence supports Python 3.6 and Python 3.7.

django-recurrence works with Django 1.11, 2.1 and 2.2.

Set up internationalization

Note

This step is currently mandatory, but may be bypassed with an extra bit of javascript. See #47 for details.

Using a translation of django-recurrence other than en requires that django-recurrence’s JavaScript can access the translation strings. This is handled with Django’s built in javascript_catalog view, which you must install by adding the following to your project urls.py file:

import django
from django.conf.urls import url
from django.views.i18n import JavaScriptCatalog

# Your normal URLs here...

# If you already have a js_info_dict dictionary, just add
# 'recurrence' to the existing 'packages' tuple.
js_info_dict = {
    'packages': ('recurrence', ),
}

# jsi18n can be anything you like here
urlpatterns += [
    url(r'^jsi18n/$', JavaScriptCatalog.as_view(), js_info_dict),
]

Configure static files

django-recurrence includes some static files (all to do with rendering the JavaScript widget that makes handling recurring dates easier). To ensure these are served correctly, you’ll probably want to ensure you also have django.contrib.staticfiles in your INSTALLED_APPS setting, and run:

python manage.py collectstatic

Note

After collecting static files, you can use {{ form.media }} to include recurrence’s static files within your templates.
