[Question] Recurring shifts not being converted into real shifts, time off requests about suite HOT 2 CLOSED

Hey there - it's been a few years since I've looked at this code. But, I'll try answering:

I create recurring shifts for roles or employees, but these never seem to appear on the schedules. They're there when I list shifts, but the schedule is clean, no shifts are added unless I add them manually. No errors are thrown anywhere, and the recurring shifts are there in the database. At what point are they supposed to be created? There are many references in the code to a schedule being unpublished/published, but nothing in the interface seems to refer to this.

It seems to me that the cron process isn't set up: https://github.com/philipithomas/staffjoy-cron

(You don't need that specific code - but, you need to hit the internal cron endpoint on a recurring basis)

It does not appear that users can request time-off from their own accounts. Managers are able to create time off requests and accept them in their own accounts, but users don't seem to be able to. Is this actually not supported? or am I missing something?

They should be able to. I suspect this is also related to the cron setup - because the week hasn't been initiated in the database yet by the cron process.

The cron endpoint was being hit frequently and regularly, but when I double checked following your response, I noticed it was getting a 404, so that makes sense.

Thanks a lot for your help!
