    Hello,
    Yearly Messages Addon seems to be a very useful tool. I wonder, is it possible to define own nonfixed dates?

    Kind regards,
    Kaz

    Uhm, I think we can add some filters to extend the events and their management, I’ll take a look to that options in the next few days.

    Great, thank you! I’ll just add what on my mind – there is number of holidays dependend on the Easter date (like shrove tuesday, fat thursday, Corpus Christi etc. etc.; so easter_date() +/- number of days), and on particular weekday in a particular month, like thanksgiving (forth thursday of november), cybermonday (monday after blackfriday), mother’s/father’s day in some countries etc. I guess they are easy to define/set with a little bit of code and a simple form.

    Ah, ok, the next version (not already released) already contains a configurable offset in days (+ or -) with respect to a movable event.

    For example, you don’t want to send a message the black friday exact day, but three days before :-).

    Another not fixed date event is the Lunar new year, I see there are some algos able to compute it.

    Here in Italy, the father day is on March 19, while Mother’s Day is officially on May 8, but it is usually celebrated the following sunday.
