absolute date in calendar module

[qqqqqqqq]

I want the calendar to display the exact day of the event(birthdays), instead of saying “in 3 days” or “The day after tomorrow” since it takes up too much of space.
I tried changing it in the main config file & the calendar.js file (both), but no change is reflected.

@qqqqqqqq can you post your config?

Here is my main config file

{
			module: 'calendar',
			header: 'Your Calendar',
			position: 'top_left',
			config: {
				timeformat: 'absolute',
				calendars: [
					{
						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
						url: 'webcal://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/....ics'
					},
					{
						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
						url: 'webcal://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/....ics'
					},
					{
						symbol: 'facebook-official ',
						url: 'webcal://localhost:8080/modules/Cals/FbBirthday.ics'

					},
					{
						symbol: 'calendar ',
						url: 'webcal://calendar.google.com/c.....ics'
					}
				]
			}
		},
		{
			module: 'compliments',

You should also set urgency to 0

Please try to write timeFormat instead of timeformat, this is case sensitive :)
Also try to play around with urgency

Okay, made both the changes, fixed the case in “timeFormat” and added

urgency: '0',

right next to the timeFormat tag.

But, now the events appear like this

event 1 The day after tomorrow
event 2 Feb 19th
event 3 Feb 21st

Still need to fix event 1

Please replace '0' with 0

Numbers should not be written with quotation marks

Nope, still the same.

Btw, i should let you know that I am start the MagicMirror by using the command

npm start

Should I be using some other method to start it? Do I need to clear cache or something like that? :slight_frown:

@qqqqqqqq
Starting your mirror for testing purpose is just fine.

Please try this:

...
	config: {
		timeFormat: 'absolute',
		urgency: 0,
		getRelative: 0,
		calendars: [
...

I’ve updated the values in both, the main config file & the calendar.js (in the modules folder) but it’s still the same.
