calendar module - format today events with time

[sdetweil]

@spitzlbergerj generally in absolute mode, urgency (days NOT HOURS) is used to create a window of time to still show relative timed events

but you have it set to 0

                        timeFormat: "absolute",
			getRelative: 12,
			urgency: 0,

showTimeToday does the reverse…

in relative mode forces today’s events to NOT be relative. only for today, no other time window

get relative is used in relative mode for AN hour based time window

@sdetweil Thank you for the quick reply.
IfI set

urgency: 1

then an appointment for today is displayed like this

Test appointment                            in 4 hours

but I would like to have the display

Test appointment                              today, 17:00

how can I achieve this?
thanks
Josef

@spitzlbergerj , das nervt mich auch schon länger. Vielleicht gibt es ja eine Lösung. - …this has been bothering me for a long time. Maybe there is a solution.

@spitzlbergerj according to the code

showTimeToday must be false, and dateFornat must be ‘relative’, not absolute

[spitzlbergerj]

@sdetweil Thanks again for your answer. But that unfortunately still does not do the whole job

config:

maxTitleLength: 21,
wrapEvents: false,
dateFormat: "ddd, D.MMM, HH:mm",
fullDayEventDateFormat: "ddd, D.MMM",
timeFormat: "relative",
getRelative: 12,
urgency: 1,
showEnd: false,
maximumEntries: 6,
fade: false,
hidePrivate: false,
nextDaysRelative: true,
sliceMultiDayEvents: false,
showTimeToday: false,

result:

I actually just want the display like with timeformat: “absolute”. Only that with the current day simply “Today” is indicated and the same perhaps also with “Tomorrow”.

desired result:

Unfortunately I am too little experienced in coding the MagicMirror programs. Otherwise I would suggest a change for this, if the behavior is not achievable with the current settings.

Could you, dear @sdetweil, do that? Thanks a lot

Josef

@spitzlbergerj no way without significant code changes… sorry

you can ‘most’ of the way there with

        timeFormat: "relative",
        getRelative: 1,
        showTimeToday: false,

1st is full day
2nd is upcoming in 3 hours

@sdetweil Thanks a lot for your help! I’ll try it in this way
