MMM-CalendarExt3

Love this module, and have spent some time modifying some parts of it using CSS and learning a lot on the way. One thing i have not been able to achieve is to have the time format to show exactly how i want it to be.

I want the time for any event to show like 9am / 9:15am instead of the “9:00 a.m.”, to save some space and try to make it more readable. Any ideas on how to achieve this?? i have tried to modify with eventtransformer code in many ways, but all i get is to turn back to 24hr; it seems like it defaults to my locale (ES), and i don’t want to switch since i want everything to be in Spanish.

Any suggestions are welcomed, thank you.

eventTransformer: (event) => {
  // Get the event's start time as a Date object
  let startDate = new Date(event.startDate);

  // Manually extract hours and minutes
  let hours = startDate.getHours();
  let minutes = startDate.getMinutes();
  
  // Determine AM or PM
  let ampm = hours >= 12 ? 'pm' : 'am';
  
  // Convert 24-hour format to 12-hour
  hours = hours % 12;
  hours = hours ? hours : 12;  // If 0 (midnight/noon), set to 12

  // Format minutes (add leading zero if needed)
  let formattedMinutes = minutes < 10 ? '0' + minutes : minutes;
  
  // Construct the final time format (e.g., "9am" or "9:15am")
  let formattedTime = `${hours}${minutes === 0 ? '' : ':' + formattedMinutes}${ampm}`;

  // Manually set the formatted time as the event's start time
  event.startTime = formattedTime;
  
  return event;  // Return the modified event with the new time
},

@danncabrera did you try to change the formatting via the module configuration ?

@sdetweil this module doesn’t use moment module. It is using pure JavaScript Intl function

sdetweil

@MMRIZE i stand corrected, sadly few options for formatting

this month has to much weeks so I am having overlap issues, one of my options is to remove the header (September) but I cant find where to remove it.
I am trying to remove the Month at the top.

		 {
           module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
           position: "top_right",
           title: "",
           instanceId: '1',
		   config: {
             mode: 'month',
             carouselId: "basicCalendar",
             locale: 'en-ZA',
		     header: "",
             //headerTitleOptions: {month: 'long' , year:'numeric'},
		     eventTimeOptions: {timeStyle: 'short'},
		     useWeather: false,
             maxEventLines: 5,
             firstDayOfWeek: 1,
		     displayEndTime: false,
		     useMarquee: true,
		     displayCW: false,
		     showMore: true,
		     showEnd: false,
		     weekIndex: 0, // From which week the view starts; -1 : last week, 0: this week 2: 2 weeks later, ...
		     weeksInView: 5, // How many weeks will be shown from `weekIndex`
		     fontSize: "18px",
             eventHight: "20px",
		     calendarSet: ['Pieter', 'US_holiday'],
	             }
         },

.MMM-CalendarExt3 .module-header {
	text-align:center;
	padding-bottom :30px;
	font-size:80px;
	color:rgb(45,73,69);     /*This is the Header Month Colour  */
	/*text-shadow: -1px 0 white, 0 1px white, 1px 0 white, 0 -1px white;*/
	display: none;
}

@GerrieD i don’t know exactly, but you can use the developers window to find the html element and get its classes

see the second link in my signature for how to use the developers window

GerrieD

@sdetweil thanks for you quick response

I have followed a lot of your hep topics and thanks to you got familiar with the developers window.

I added the display: none; to the module but in the developers window it is crossed out.

sdetweil

@GerrieD you can add !important
after the display:none;

display:none !important;

this should override the more specific

you are doing this in the top window. right

in custom.css

.CX3 .module-header {
display:none;
}

should work tho

sdetweil

@GerrieD also, in the top window you have display:block, the top window overrides those below

remove that top window should be empty

element.style

GerrieD

@sdetweil said in MMM-CalendarExt3:

display:none !important;

That worked. I try to not use !important to much (someone told me not to do it)

But in this case it worked 100%

Thanks

GerrieD

@sdetweil

Thanks, I will see where to fix that as well.

Sam you are a legend here!!

sdetweil

@GerrieD i think that element.style is only if you type it. should be empty when you open dev window

danncabrera

@sdetweil Thank you for your support. This community is awesome.

danncabrera

@MMRIZE Thank you for taking the time, that post was super helpful. You are a legend!

sdetweil

@danncabrera I wanted to post additional info for anyone else looking in

the image you posted of the dev window had the cause of the strikethru(overridden)
your pointer red/pink shows the strikethru… which means something ABOVE in the SAME COLUMN has that setting too… (and it wins)
my purple arrow

dev window comment.png

you’ll see that font-size in the header{ } is also strike thru, because the
.MMM-CalendarExt3 .module-header (ABOVE) the header specifies the font-size,
thus overriding the header setting…

and you can’t see it in these pics cause of the clipping,but the source of that
.MMM-CalendarExt3 .module-header came from the custom.css file…
(right edge same row)

MMRIZE

UPDATE 1.9.0 (2024-09-25)

customHeader available,.
Now you can add customHeader for the calendar view instead of module’s default header.

variable maxEventLines by number of rows
Every month has a different number of weeks in its calendar, so it was hard to adjust the height of the month view. Now, you can assign the variable maxEventLines by the number of rows. (And additional CSS Selectors related to it was added.)

GerrieD

@MMRIZE

Wow thanks for adding this. I have not tested yet, but I assume that with this update I can limit the size of the calendar if we have a 6 week month like this month.

MMRIZE, you’re a champion for creating this module. I would love some help, if you can spare some time.

The first issue is that I have tried adding an eventTransformer to add a symbol to specific events, but it doesn’t do anything. The code comes from your post in another topic, my slightly modified version is here:

				eventTransformer: (ev) => {
					if (ev.title.search('Volleyball') > -1) 
						ev.symbol = ['fa-solid fa-volleyball']
					return ev
				},

My current guess is that I’m not specifying a correct symbol name, but that name is directly from FontAwesome, so I’m not sure.

My other issue is that the first event on each day overlaps the date number - how can I fix this?

This may be a browser issue? I’m using Chrome on Win11, I don’t have a real display for my Pi at the moment so I’m running in Server mode to set things up.

@czabel
I need your config and custom.css to guess what happened.
