Low events w/ Matrix
I like the simple concept to this add-on. I've got a situation where an entry is a 'day' which can have multiple (2 one day,six another) events. Is it possible to add a P&T Matrix to add events? The number of events may vary however.
Thanks,
Nate

Hi Nate,
Low Events is not compatible with Matrix at the moment, and here's why:
I use the native Channel:entries function to generate the entries. This has pros: not reinventing the wheel, 3rd party add-on support etc. However, there is a downside. The native Channel:entries module does not support lists where a single entry is present multiple times.
So, you can have a list of entries like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; but not like this: 1, 2, 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 2.
This is the main reason why Low Events doesn't support repeated events or occurrences.
You can add multiple events to a single entry by using relationships, selecting the single entry as a relationship, then use the {related_entry} to show the main entry. Then an event still is a single entry.
