Insert and add similar, I want to save data for recurring event and just enter the new date for events with similar info

I have an events calendar where users can enter events. Many of the events are series which are held at the same location and have the same data including event flyer. I would like to add an option to my create event where the user can click Add Event OR Add Event and add another date for this series.

The easiest solution is to add a "duplicate" button in the results next to the update button. The duplicate page is just a copy of the update page but it does an insert instead of an update.

Thank you, Once I add the duplicate button what code do I need to add to insert the info and return to insert another record. I guess a copy of the add event page which mirrors the update however I am unsure how to proceed.

Copy the update page, rename it to duplicate. Then remove the update server behavior and add an insert server behavior in its place.

Thank you, now for the form fields. I am attaching the page.
I obviously want the user to be able to view the previously entered data. Then I just want them to be able to update any fields they wish which in most cases will just be the date.

If you start with the update page then it would automatically pre-fill the form just like it does on the update page. Just make sure the postid value for the post you are duplicating is passed in the url when you go to the duplicate page like: duplicate-race.php?postid=1234

Ok, Thanks. The form part actually is working, the data is retained. The datepickers are not working (you can type in the date but the calendars do not pop up) and it is not inserting a new event.

Your button is still named "Update" but your insert trigger is "Insert" button pressed.

Does the datepicker work on the Update page? You must have changed something because simply renaming the page wouldn't cause them to stop working. Usually it is a javascript error on the page that prevents it from working... perhaps if I had a url to look at I could spot it.

Plz see private msg

You had an include at the bottom of the page _js.php that re-loads the jquery library, but doesn't load the jquery_ui library, so it removed the datepicker functionality.

I've fixed the issue on the duplicate page by removing the repeated jquery includes and moving the script below the _js.php include so it loads after the jquery library loads. I also updated _js.php to include jquery_ui.
