Cal EXT3 - Symbols and colors

sdetweil

@_V_ ok, symbol is a list…

use
ev.symbol.push( “mdi:birthday-cake-outline”)

instead of
ev.symbol=

_V_

@sdetweil OK no error, color is shown but no symbol.
Did I miss some basic setting in the modules config?

sdetweil

@_V_ sorry, don’t know about that icon library…

can you try one of the FA values…

"\f015"

for example

_V_

@sdetweil Tried, no change.

Does it matter, where in the ext3 config it is placed, like at the end for example?

sdetweil

@_V_ the filter/transformer is INSIDE the Ext3 config:{} block…

{
module: "MMM_CalendarExt3",
position:
config:{
   .
.
.
.
  eventTransformer: (ev) => {
        if (ev.title.search("John") > -1){
              ev.symbol= "\f015";
             ev.color= "blue";
        }
        return ev
   },
 }
},

So I put it in the ext3 block but that didnt change anything.
I set “useIconify: false” to check if the fontawesome would work, but nothing too.

Also I wonder why I nowhere read about the ev.symbol error in any of the topics :/

sdetweil

@_V_ I see the same, except, if you click on the event, the popover comes up and the color is there…

the symbol doesn’t work…

there is text in the readme about the iconify icon set…

_V_

Ok so I tried updating and “repairing” the module, turning the default cal class off but leads only to no icon shown.
I actually dont care if its Iconify or FA, but neither of them work ffs

Sam, nevermind the problem; I found a sentence in a different question on git, in which it is mentioned shortly; also its kind of written in a config, believe it was the ext3 config.

Still a bit annoying that you have to make an entry for the color and on another spot/file you have to set the custom event up.
Thanks for your continuous help mate.
