Greetings. I enabled the recurring event feature of the Calendar Event module. But when I create a new event, I cannot seem to add such an event. I suspect because I do not know what the appropriate keywords in the Event_recurring field should be. I couldn't find a guide in the documentation https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/276/event-calendar
Appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hi - I assume you've enabled recurring events as per this topic - https://www.jamroom.net/backstage/forum/tips-and-tricks/3443/recurring-events-with-jrevent ?
Note the the 'Event End Day' field is not required, only the 'recurring event' and 'recurring end date' fields need to be enabled.
I've just done this on my test site and it worked as expected.
Hope this helps

Yes, I did enable the fields recurring even and recurring end date fields as per those instructions.
Event End Day is not enabled in this instance.
But what is a valid entry for the Event_recurring field for something I wish to repeat every week on the same day of the week? Week? Weekly? What about something like the third Friday of each month, what would that syntax be? Or is that outside of the scope of this feature?
Thanks!

Okay. I disabled. Uninstalled. Then re-installed, and enabled the Event Calendar module. Then once again enabled the recurring fields. Now where it was empty field for Event_recurring, I now see a select menu with different options That wasn't there before. Not sure why. Now it is working. I had run a site wide integrity check yesterday. Any ideas why that was scrambled until I reinstalled the module? I'm brand new to JR. Thanks!

Not sure why it wasn't working for you before, but it sounds as though its ok now.
Reseting caches and running the Integrity Check is always a good first thing to do if you have any problems, as well as after any module/skin updates -
