MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda - Two questions

sdetweil

@Kelemvor can’t answer the first, but on the second
there is a handler you can code for the
eventPayload property that gets to examine and modify ALL the events for this calendar before being processed by the agenda drawer…

so you could discover the 3 individual events and collapse them to one (delete the other two) and change the title to a/b/c ,

   eventPayload: (list)={ 
       for( let i in list){   // list.forEach(event)=>{  // different approaches
             let event = list[i]  // not needed in list.forEach
             // be careful not to delete/add entries to 'list' while processing it..  
             // so maybe make an updated list and return that 
             do whatever for this event
       }
        return list 
    },

@Kelemvor the events have class .passed applied, so you could have a css entry

for

.CX3 .today .passed { 
    some color shading
}

.today moves at midnight

Kelemvor

@sdetweil Thanks. I’ll take a look tomorrow when my brain is fresh. ;)

Kelemvor

There’s already this in the CSS that makes the passed events Gray:
.CX3A .event.passed {
filter: brightness(0.6) grayscale(0.33);
}

But, there must be something else that removes them completely when it updates so they don’t show at all.

As for the #1 question, look at these config items:

startDayIndex
endDayIndex

That will adjust your view to specific days - startDayIndex: 0 will set it to start on the current day, and then continue for the number of days listed in endDayIndex

Those are already set correctly. There’s something hard coded somewhere that removes events that are in the past from showing, even if they’re from Today. If those settings were wrong I wouldn’t see anything from today.

Kelemvor

Maybe something in this section if I’m deciphering things correctly…

BKeyport

@Kelemvor do you have broadcastPastEvents: true, set in the default calendar app?

BKeyport

@Kelemvor Actually, I think you might be right - does look hardcoded.

Not if that goes in the normal Config area. Does that make ALL events from the entire calendar get passed over to Ext3? Is that going to overload anything since it’s decades of events? :)

BKeyport

@Kelemvor It won’t overload anything. broadcastPastEvents is required to show old events.

Kelemvor

@BKeyport I know it says its broadcasting 400+ events so I’m assuming it’s sending old stuff.

BKeyport

@Kelemvor I pretty much bet it’s that setting - with it I get what you want:

Kelemvor

I think I fixed it and I Just found a typo in the official documentation:

On this page:
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/calendar.html#configuration-options

The first instance of broadcastPastEvents is wrong.

It should say pastDaysCount, not maximumNumberofDays,

Anyway, I set broadcastPastEvents to True and PastDaysCount to 1. It seems to be showing now. I’ll know more tomorrow afternoon.

BKeyport

oh, and you can specify past events per calendar:

https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/calendar.html

BKeyport

@Kelemvor I wouldn’t know the details on that part of the thing - I let my calendar spew the entire of the data download - it don’t hurt a thing.

Kelemvor

@BKeyport Oh sheesh. After my change it’s now showing the entire mini calendar with all the events on it. It wasn’t like that before so it’s definitely sending things it wasn’t. I have the PastDays thing set to 1, in the base calendar but EXT3 calendar is showing events for all of March so that flag doesn’t seem to work right or something.

sdetweil

@Kelemvor pastDaysCount is an advisory to other modules. they dont have to honor it

we send all the events, there was a bug in clipping, i ‘fixed’ for 2.30, but made it worse. the temp fix removes clipping on past events

maximum days sets the range to view in cal, default 365 days
