MMM-CalendarExt3 fine tuning

[sdetweil]

@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

Thanks 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 keep maximumEntires: 12, on the calendar module, and maxEventLines: 12, on the Ext3 aligned.

maximumEntires: 12

you might need

maximumEntries:1000,
depending on how much old stuff there is in your calendar

I 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)
