Default Calender relative removes start time

cptkex

@lavolp3 thanks for that suggestion, ill try that tonight when i get home!

I will have to check when i get home, i was moving between the three options of absolute, relative and dateheader and i dont really remember if it gave me the date when i switched back to absolute.

ill doublecheck tonight, because i was trying to achieve my wish of having the start time to be absolute by changing the startdate variable to MMM Do HH:mm. ill get back to you on this. Again, sorry, kind of new at this.

Aha! The “dateheaders” option is quite new and I haven’t seen that before. Will check that out as well

@lavolp3 I’m home and I was mistaken. It does not show the date when it goes into relative, only the end time. I will try your code later tonight and see if it works.

@lavolp3 i tried your addition to the code but it only said

@cptkex There is an open issue that might describe the same issue:

Yours?
Else it might be worth following.

You could try this

timeWrapper.innerHTML = this.capFirst(moment(event.startDate, "x").fromNow()) + this.capFirst(moment(event.startDate, "x").format(this.config.dateEndFormat));

I took the dirty way to use the dateEndFormat variable for a starting time.
This is just a guess! I haven’t tried it out yet…

because of the ending times, I went 100% absolute. works best on a small screen, too…

dateFormat: “M/D h:mm a”,
fullDateEventDateFormat: “M/D”,
timeFormat: “absolute”,
getRelative: 0,
urgency: 0,
dateEndFormat: “h:mm a”,

@bkeyport that’s what I would recommend otherwise as well.
I’m using the same config with the timeFormat: ‘dateheaders’ but for some reason I’m missing the ending times…

lavolp3

A bit offtopic, sorry, but wanted to write it down:

The (quite) new ‘dateheaders’ option is a bit odd.
It neglects most of the other options like urgency, today/tomorrow, getrelative, showEnd (i.e. shows only the starting time of an event).
I guess it would need to be placed somewhere else in the code and be more integrated.

@lavolp3 thanks i will try it!
