Call for testers, updated calendar module

[sdetweil]

like you I am tired of all the troubles we have with the calendar module,
so lets end that here. we’ve got time between now and Jan 1 to find and fix any remaining issues.

I have (I think) finally fixed it , this is built on top of the cal module in the current release 2.29.

to get my fork into a DIFFERENT folder, not touching existing MM (I use newmm here as the new folder name, use whatever you like

git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror newmm
cd newmm
git checkout fixcaldates2
npm run install-mm
cd config
cp config.js.sample config.js
cd ..

edit the config.js and add your appropriate url in place of the default calendar we supply
add whatever config settings are appropriate for your calendar, date/time formats, etc

then
npm start

DST/STD change is coming this weekend for Europe, and next weekend for the US
let me know what you see…
you can open issue on my fork, add a ics for the events you find that you have trouble with

if you want to run under this new MM… you can copy your whole config over and
the modules folder too…

you can use my backup/restore to do that too…(save time and energy)
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore
backup from MagicMirror (-s MagicMirror)
restore to newmm (-s newmm) it will reinstall the modules

@evroom yes, you are working the end time issue on the other topic

[evroom]

@sdetweil

Just to follow up on the test I did where I got the end date displayed according to ‘dateEndFormat’ for a repeating allday event.
Most of it is also covered in the other thread.

It is working with your suggested change in calendar.js.
No need to set ‘showEnd: false’.

urgency: 0,
timeFormat: "absolute",
dateFormat: "dddd MMM D - HH:mm",
dateEndFormat: "dddd MMM D - HH:mm",
fullDayEventDateFormat: "dddd MMM D",
showEnd: true,
showEndsOnlyWithDuration: true,
getRelative: 0,
