MMM-Calendar showing multi day event with start day not current day

[sdetweil]

@bergmannfrank you can try showOngoing:true
check the spelling

[bergmannfrank]

@sdetweil There is a “hideOngoing”-option, which is default false. I can’t see how this effects sliced multiday events. In my config I didn’t change the parameter.

Seems this bug in older versions was a great feature to me. ;) And now it’s fixed and I don’t like it.

Thanks for your ideas.

@bergmannfrank set the option to true

false and split false means we show start and only start
showEnd: true means we show start AND END on the same event (timeformat : "absolute:)
split means we show 1 of, 2 of, 3 of on the current and forward days

showOngoing(default true)/hideOngoing:(default false) means we show an in progress event going TODAY
ONLY for timeFormat: “relative” (ends in xxx days/hours)

calendar has lots of options for lots of peoples needs, set what you need

[bergmannfrank]

@sdetweil Sorry, but there is no showOngoing in the docs, only a hideOngoing. This parameter is default false - and I don’t want to change it because it effects all kinds of events.

And as I mentioned, I don’t like to get my calendar which has a lot of multidays event spammed with a bunch of entries.

I appreciate your help. It seems the config options don’t fit my special needs at this point.

@bergmannfrank how did you update? wipe sd and start new, or use my upgrade script to upgrade MM??

if my script,
can you look at the ~/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log file
go to the end and search backwards for

upgrading from version

I want to know which version you were last running. .

I just checked this release, next in flight, and with my cal fixes, all show event start date for a multi-day event which is currently running… in timeFormat:“absolute”

[bergmannfrank]

@sdetweil My old installation crushed and I started with a fresh SD card and a different Pi than before.

I don’t remember the version but it must be a least four-ish years old. My last backup was in November 2020.

[sdetweil]

@bergmannfrank ok, we are at 2.29, - 16 (4 years, 4 releases) makes it about 2.13

I’ll try to look later

[bergmannfrank]
