MMM-CalendarExt3

@Lilleberg ext3 gets the symbol info from the base calendar module. so create a custom event if u can to identify those entries and specify a symbol.

I want the first letter in the weekdays to be capital. How to do that?

By default, there is no transformation for the letter of weekday name. Your locale decides it. What are your language and locale?

I want to display a symbol in front of a specific calendar events. I have one calendar for all the birthdays during a year, and I want for example a cake as a symbol in front of all the events from this specific calendar. All the other calendars should be without a symbol.

You can assign a symbol to the specific calendar on the default calendar module’s configuration, not MMM-CalendarExt3’s.

Or you can transform data of event itself by eventTransformer property, like this;

I recommend prior.

How do i add the week number in a own colum, not in first monday. As this is taking up space in colum for monday.
Would like to have in it´s own colum. As i understand i will need to do something in custom.css but unsure how to resolve this.

Any one have a solution for this?

[sdetweil]

@fedale it only shows in the header of the 1st day of the week.

you cannot use CSS to create another column,
one would have to change the code

[fedale]

Okay so it´s not in the css. Thought i had something todo with the weeks mark one. As this can change colour and other things if i don´t recall wrong.
I saw it like this before https://imgur.com/mwwPwEl
Thats why i though this was possible.

I have it 1st day of the week now. And if displayed more than 3-4 items in the 1st day of the week. Then not all items will show. due to the week number takes up a slot there.
As i am showing 3 weeks at time i have a amount of space at liberty.

But i really like the week number ;)

@fedale i only see the wn 42 in the header of the 1st day of the week cell, same as the examples in the doc

New to MMM-CalendarExt3 so perhaps just missing the obvious… how do I get event locations to show up? In Ext2 there was a hidden div that could be shown via CSS if I recal, but I don’t see that with Ext3?

Other question is, is it possible to wrap longer event title names? I see the default calendar module has options around this, but they don’t seem to impact what Ext3 is doing, which I suppose makes sense.

@fedale
For CX2, I thought it was not pretty to have the week number column separately, and it is a bit of waste to occupy the expensive real estate of the MM screen, so in CX3, I put the week number into the cell as small as possible.

Conclusively, a separated week number column is not possible in CX3 atm, And I think it would be undesirable, so I’ll not consider it.

[fedale]

Ok thanks for the feedback.

I have another question
The new calendarExt3 and the i cant seem to get this transform fuction to work anymore. I had the transform in the config.js file and the custom.css with different words to get different color on each work, as we have family calendar.
Tried to change it to cx3 without any luck. (/* */ is only to stop the code here.)

Example
/*
transform: function(event) {
if (event.title.search(“Jobb”) > -1) {
event.icon = “ic:outline-work-outline”;
event.className = “Jobb”;
}

*/

In the custom.css:
/*
}
.CX3 .Jobb.fullday {
background-color:rgba(0,128,128);
color:#000;
}
.CX3 .Jobb {
background-color:rgba(0,128,128);
color:#000;
}

*/

Updated 1.2.5 (2022-11-04)

• Added Display legend of the calendar (displayLegend: true and when you set the calendar name on the calendar module)
• Fixed Some CSS fixture

@MMRIZE I’m trying to update the module but it seems like the update doesn’t work. Maybe I’m doing it wrong? I have copied in the commands I’m using in the terminal. According to that it looks like the update is working fine. But when I start the MagicMirror there is still a notification at the top that the CalendarExt3 module is “2 commits behind the main grenen”.
Also I can’t display the legend when I insert this under the config in the CalendarExt3 module.

looks like u modified the module code, and updated cannot be applied til you fix that.

generally you never edit the source files of a module.all config goes in config.js and all css updates go is custom.css

[bicolorbore586]

Is there an option to hide the week numbers? I’ve managed to remove the ‘cw’ using custom.css (albeit a bit untidy)

[sdetweil]

@bicolorbore586 no config option, just set cw to display:none in custom.css

I finally found a touch module that I could easily use for the glance notification and have the payload step as 1. However, two things are happening:

1: on the first press it’s going back to June. Second press goes to April. Third press goes to August. Fourth press goes to December (which would be correct, however, due to the other jumps it could just be random)

2: no events are populating in the glance

Here’s what I have for the button:

{
      module: "MMM-TouchButton",
      position: "top_left",
      config: {
          buttons: [
               {
                name: "Next",
                icon: "fa fa-calendar-days",
                notification: "CX3_GLANCE_CALENDAR",
                payload: {instanceID: [], step: [1]},
                  },
                ]
              },
           },

And here’s my CX3 config:

{
            module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
            position: "middle_center",
            config: {
                    mode: "month",
                    instanceID: "currentMonth",
                    firstDayOfWeek: 0,
                    useSymbol: true,
                    glanceTime: 60000,
                    calendarSet: [],
            }
        },

Any thoughts?

@almightyyoshi
Not real tested, but I think your config should be like this;

payload: {step: 1},

And about no event populating, It would be related to your maximumEntries , maximumNumberOfDays and boradcastPastEvents options of default calendar module.
