CalendarExt3 - Event transformer wildcard

BKeyport

@sdetweil What I meant is to replace the Client’s name with “Client” - it’s a wildcard.

The “YCBM” is in the event description to help my booking manager (YouCanBook.ME) to track the bookings for me.

@BKeyport ok, what does ‘clients name’ look like

any examples?

Web links removed, Test client deleted, so no clicky. The event title is solely the client name, but that can be adjusted if need be, I think.

@BKeyport ok, this should work

if(ev.description.search("YCBM")>-1){
       		ev.title = "Client"
 }

you already have the
return ev

you can
console.log(ev.description)
to make sure it is what you expect

better if mmm-logging is installed to copy the browser log to startup log

@sdetweil perfection, thanks. Never even thought about direct replacement - only seen more complex solutions.

I think we’re gonna have to call @MMRIZE in on this one. it worked initially - however, if the description is blank in any event, it’ll stop completely, and not process anything. Here’s what I got now.

				eventTransformer: (ev) => {
					if (ev.title.search("🏠") > -1) {
						ev.title = ev.title.replace("🏠 Personal Commitment", "Personal Event");
						ev.color = 'yellow';
					}
					if (ev.title.search("✈ Flight") > -1) {
						ev.title = ev.title.replace("✈ Flight", "Personal Event");
						ev.color = 'yellow';
					}
					if(ev.description.search("YCBM") > -1) {
       					 	ev.title = "Client"
 					} 
				return ev 
				},

@BKeyport add the test

if (

ev.description &&

BKeyport

@sdetweil That did it… Well, other than typing out event rather than ev. :)

All the same, Maybe it should be a check inside the javascript…

BKeyport

For completeness - here’s the answer:

	if(ev.description && ev.description.search("YCBM") > -1) {
       					 	ev.title = "Client"
 					}

@BKeyport sorry, phone decided to autocorrect for me.

but you got it. this IS javascript. without the test, the transformer crashed
