Module calendar - whole day event

[wilco.kuijt]

Hello all,

The calendar module is working fine for me, I am displaying a simple row of 7 events underneath eachother.

If there is a “whole day event”, there is no time displayed. I would like to change this to “whole day”.

I think I need to change this into “modules/default/calendar/calendar.js”, but before I do this, anyone a suggestion for a different approach?
And, when I update the MagicMirror, are changes made in the calendar.js overwritten?

Best regards,
Wilco

@wilco-kuijt yes if u change the default shipped code it will block updates. you would have to apply your changes again .

whole day events do have a time, as it’s ALL DAY. every hour…

What you want is this?

After I read your post, I built a small killing-time project this Saturday morning.
https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-ModuleMonkeyPatch

With this on-flight patch, it works. (exception Rules be needed for different timeFormat, anyway, this is just a monkeypatching)

This is monkey-patcher, so you don’t have to worry updating/upgrading original module.

@MMRIZE Yes, this is the way I would like to see it!
Unfortunately (😉) on holiday right now, so I am not able to implement it.

Best regards and thanks for helping me out!

@MMRIZE how do you get different icons in front of the calendar items?
Is this a default feature? Btw which calendar module are u using?

[MMRIZE]

@htilburgs
Basically, default calendar module can hold icons (symbol) and even multiple, and all CX3* support multi-icons also.
But in this case, that is just an emoji included in the event title. :D (If what you mented is the flag symbol)

@MMRIZE I like your calendar view, how does it work with the date and under it the individual calendar entries?

[htilburgs]

@MMRIZE what I ment are the truck, recycling and other symbols in front of each row.
Never seen this before.

@htilburgs
Add “symbol” to each calendar in your calendar config.

The icon symbol derives from “font-awesome”.

@Babene1
Use timeFormat: “dateheaders”, in your calendar config.
