MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda - how to hide days with no events and hide/filter out events with a keywords

[GrandizerGo]

I’m finally getting back into trying get MM all configured.
I would like to be able to filter out empty days in the Agenda so it doesn’t list the date if there are no events. I’m also looking to exclude events by keyword. For example, don’t list events with “Swimming”.

I’ve attached a pic of my current view if that helps. Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

@GrandizerGo i think on the second you can use the filter

if the filter routine returns true the event is kept

dont know of remove days

[GrandizerGo]

@sdetweil Thanks, the eventFilter did the trick to help hide repeated events.

Anyone know if it’s possible to filter out dates that have no entries hidden after the filter is applied?

[sdetweil]

@MMRIZE will have to answer that

i know there is the function to handle all events

but that doesn’t help if there no events for a date

[MMRIZE]

@GrandizerGo

To filter out the empty days

There could be 2 ways of approaches for your exact purpose. The each ways are different, so choose one.

1.

/* CX3A config section of config/config.js */
onlyEventDays: 5, // This will show 5 specific days which has at least one event on the day.

2.

Or you can hide empty days in the calendar scope with CSS.

/* css/custom.css */
.CX3A .agenda .cell[data-events-counts="0"] {
  display: none;
}

[sdetweil]

@MMRIZE cool on the css approach

[GrandizerGo]

@MMRIZE Thanks! On the config.js method it worked right away! I set to 10 days and it works nicely.
With the custom.css method it seems to only show about 4 events.

Dear gurus,
I’m pretty new here and i do have the exact same problem as the original thread owner.
I’ve identified and tried the conig.cs approach with “onlyEventDays: 5,” but this doesn’t work for me unfortunately.
In addition other documented switches of this module
// useWeather: false ,
// showMiniMonthCalendar: false,
don’t work either for me.
Any idea?
Because of the other two switches I don’t want to play with CSS right now…
Thanks for any hint/advise!

Warmest regards,
Ralf

[sdetweil]

@rkorell can you show your ext3 config please

[rkorell]

Dear @sdetweil ,
yes for sure, sorry…
It’s VERY basic, because my trials were ignored I doesn’t spent too much time on it yet…
As you can see I’ve disabled the not working parts (currently except the asked one - “onlyEventDays”.

// Kalenderübersicht (Agendaview)

		{
		  module: "MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda",
		  position: "top_left", 
		  header: "Wichtige Termine",
		  // useWeather: false ,
		  // showMiniMonthCalendar: false,
		  onlyEventDays: 1

		},

Thanks for your prompt reply - I was tired yesterday night, so seen your query rigth now.
Warmest regards,
Ralf

[sdetweil]

@rkorell ok, the problem is the config description

according to the documentation, all of these config items belong to MagicMirror
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/configuration.html#module-configuration
everything INSIDE the config:{} section belongs to the module

but you don’t have a config section, should look like this

{
                 module: "MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda",
                 position: "top_left", 
                 header: "Wichtige Termine",
                 config: {    
                       // useWeather: false ,
                       // showMiniMonthCalendar: false,
                       onlyEventDays: 1
                 }
},

.Dear Sam, @sdetweil ,

shame on me!
This is dumb.
thanks a lot for this hint.

If you are doing it right - it works …

I’m terribly embarrassed.
Regards,
Ralf

[sdetweil]

@rkorell we all learn new things every day…

[rkorell]

@sdetweil , yes indeed.
After making a little bit of progress now I’m not able to understand why the module doosn’t do what I expect…
I try to change the icons as well as the color of the calendar events.
Icon works fine, color for icon as well but the “event” itself doesn’t change color.

I’ve figured out that the searchword is found - because it triggers the icon color as well as the icon color (regardless that the current searchword contains an German “Umlaut” (‘ü’).

I found a code snippet here and modified it to my requirements.

ev.color is the attribute I’ve used - this seems the right one.
But It only changes the icon color…

		{
		  module: "MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda",
		  position: "top_left", 
		  //header: "Wichtige Termine",
		  config: {
			  
			        eventTransformer: (ev) => {
			            const customEvents = [
			              { keyword: "Gelber Sack", symbol: ["fa-solid fa-arrows-spin"], color: "yellow" },
			              { keyword: "Restmüll", symbol: ["fa-regular fa-trash-can"], color: "green" },
			              { keyword: "Biomüll", symbol: ["fa-regular fa-trash-can"], color: "brown" },
			              { keyword: "Papier", symbol: ["fa-solid fa-dumbbell"], color: "blue" },
			              { keyword: "Urlaub", symbol: ["fa-solid fa-dumbbell"], color: "cyan" },
			            ]
			            const found = customEvents.find((condition) => {
			              return ev.title.search(condition.keyword) !== -1
			            })
			            if (found) {
			                ev.icon = [ found.symbol ]
			                ev.color = found.color
			            }
			            if (ev.title.search('Restmüll') !== -1) {
			              ev.symbol = [ "fa-solid fa-cake-candles" ]
			            }
			            if (ev.title.search('Papier') !== -1) {
			              ev.symbol = [ "fa-regular fa-trash-can" ]
			            }
			            if (ev.title.search('Gelber Sack') !== -1) {
			              ev.symbol = [ "fa-solid fa-arrows-spin" ]
			            }
			            if (ev.title.search('Biomüll') !== -1) {
			              ev.symbol = [ "fa-regular fa-trash-can" ]
			            }
			            if (ev.title.search('Geb.') !== -1) {
			              ev.title = ev.title.replace('Geb.', '')
			              ev.symbol = [ "fa-solid fa-cake-candles" ]
			            }
			            return ev
			        },



					// useWeather: false ,
					showMiniMonthCalendar: false,
					//onlyEventDays: 10  -- Nur Tage mit terminen anzeigen ist in der custom.css eingetragen, DAS funktioniert...
		  
		  } 

		},

Where is my error now?

:-)

TIA for any hint.

Ralf

[sdetweil]

@rkorell sorry, don’t know… not my module… @MMRIZE will have to reply

[rkorell]

@sdetweil , thanks anyway!

should I place a separate posting?
Regards,
Ralf

[sdetweil]

@rkorell no, my reference of his userid will send him here when he has time. just understand that this is all volunteer, as time is available, no commitment for support.

maybe others will jump in.

[rkorell]

@sdetweil , yes, I’m fully aware of volunteer.
So thanks a LOT!

Dear Sam (@sdetweil ),
short feedbacj from this end :-)
I was able to found a compromize.
I’ve found a months old thread with the guy whose mirror I saw and @MMRIZE regardins an equivalent “problem”.
The mentioned CSS solution doesn’t work for me - for whatever reason

/* In your custom.css */
.CX3 .event.singleday .headline .title,
.CX3 .event.singleday .headline .time {
  color: var(--calendarColor);
}

Doesn’t colour the textline.
But in the same discoussion I identified the “idea” to use the fact that whole day events DO use the given color as I define in my config.
So now the apperance isO.K.

For reference to others who might have same issues the whole block here:

{
		  module: "MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda",
		  position: "top_left", 
		  //header: "Wichtige Termine",
		  config: {

			              { keyword: "Restmüll", symbol: ["fa-regular fa-trash-can"], color: "grey" },
			              { keyword: "Papier", symbol: ["fa-solid fa-dumbbell"], color: "blue" },
			              { keyword: "Gelber Sack", symbol: ["fa-solid fa-arrows-spin"], color: "yellow" },
			              { keyword: "Biomüll", symbol: ["fa-regular fa-trash-can"], color: "brown" },
			              { keyword: "Restmüll & Papier & Gelber Sack", symbol: ["fa-regular fa-trash-can"], color: "fuchsia" },

@rkorell glad you have it working
