Adding another date using the date repeat API I'm using the Date Repeat API in Drupal 7 to create an interface for a user to add in a recurring event. As it comes out of the box, it only allows for one date, then you have to save the node and re-edit. I've commented out the date_form_field_ui_field_edit_form_alter() in date.module which hides the multiples values option which I thought would allow the associated API to show the 'Add another item'  button. When I go into the 'manage fields' form in the Content Type, I've set the form to 'unlimited' values and saved it. However when I load the content type, the normal date which still has the 'Add another item ' button but the recurring date time does not. 

I'm trying to add this since the event that it is attached to might well have a second recurring time for that event, for example it happens every Monday and every second Wednesday. Whilst I am aware that you can do this through saving and re-editing, from a UI perspective it would easier to allow a user to add more than one form of recurring event if needs require. 

I'd be grateful for any guidance in solving this issue. Thanks.



Update: I've been doing some more digging and it appears that the 'repeat' code is a form linked off the date_request_api, but I cannot see why the field created in the Content Type admin UI does not appear to pick up on the multiple values setting.
If you select the repeat option in the field configuration, the Date module then declares to the Field API that it handles multiple values. There is a lot of discussion about it on drupal.org but sadly no patches for Drupal 7.
