MMM-CalendarExt3 fine tuning
-
Hi All,
I am making very good progress with the MMM-CalendarExt3, there are only a few things that are odd:
- The calendar is not showing any past events, which just makes all this wasted space on the screen. Is that a setting?
- I have configured
maxEventLines: 8
. On Monday there are 5 entries, but still I can see a +1 icon in the cell why is that? If there are more events, why not showing them?
The configuration looks like this:
{ module: "MMM-CalendarExt3", position: "bottom_bar", title: "This Week", config: { mode: "week", instanceId: "basicCalendar", locale: 'hu-HU', maxEventLines: 8, firstDayOfWeek: 1, weekIndex: 0, weeksInView: 2, useWeather: false, skipDuplicated: true, useSymbol: false, calendarSet: ['Csongor', 'Iza'] } },
Thanks in advance.

@csongor-varga-0 Ext3 gets its events from the default calendar module.
by default it does not send out past events
so you have to add
broadcastPastEvents:true,
to the config for the default calendar.
now this adds to the events list, which is limited by the
maximumEntires: nnnn
setting. so you may have to increase that too

by default it does not send out past eventsThanks a lot. That was the solution. I can see the past events now, the +1 icons are still appearing on some days where clearly I have less items than the maximum.
I assume the best practice is to keepmaximumEntires: 12,
on the calendar module, andmaxEventLines: 12,
on the Ext3 aligned. -

maximumEntires: 12
you might need
maximumEntries:1000,
depending on how much old stuff there is in your calendarI would set it to minimum of 100

that is an Ext3 display thing… I don’t know… the module author is around frequently

I wonder if there are options to make the calendar taller.
I am planning to use my MMM portrait. and with the week view the individual days get quite slim. Maybe each calendar entry take 2 lines, icon and the date on the top line, and the description below. I can increase the vertical size of the module to take up the extra space. -
- For the multilines events; not naturally. It is designed so intentionally. I know it is probably possible with heavy CSS tweak but I will not do or try it by myself.
- For the (+1) : There might be hidden(skipped) events. (You’ve set
skipDuplicated: true
)
