The hardest part of development was writing manual…

@sean true, but I have to say that your manuals are the most complete here. :D

Great module! Love the formatting, incredibly beautiful and flexible.

I do have a question - I know I can specify a custom icon per calendar, and I can also customize/replace title text as needed for display, but is there an easy way to provide a custom icon based on text in the title? E.g. Anytime you find the word Birthday in the title, specify a balloon icon? I’ve thought of a few options to do this by filtering the same calendar URL multiple times, but it seemed pretty inefficient from a processing perspective.

Not supported directly(even though you can do like your words - filtering same calendar), but good suggesion. I’ll consider that feature on next updates.

@Sean First of all, thanks for the great module! We’re using it at work for car reservation calendar. Can you help me customise it? He’re the config:

{
                        module: "MMM-CalendarExt2",
                        position: "upper_third",
                        config: {
                                calendars : [
                                {
                                url: "https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/supersecret.ics
                                },
                                ],
                                views: [
                                {
                                mode: "weekly",
                                },
                                ],
                                scenes: [
                                {
                                name: "AUTOKALENTERI",
                                },
                                ],
                        },
                },

What I’d like to change:

hide past days
show let’s say 10 markings per week
show no more than two weeks / current week only
hide the module logo at the center of the screen

@dmd

hide past days

In calendar configuration, set beforeDays:0 or in view configuration, set filterPassedEvent: true.

show let’s say 10 markings per week

Sorry I cannot understand what this means. I’m not good at English, sorry. Tell me more detailed description or example.

show no more than two weeks / current week only

I think you are using view:weekly. set fromNow:0 and slotCount:1 on your view configuration.

https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/2c2.-View:weekly,-monthly

hide the module logo at the center of the screen

You might have set the position of module itself. MMM-CalendarExt2 doesn’t need position for module itself. remove it from your configuration.

{
  module: 'MMM-CalendarExt2',
  // here you don't need to describe position of module itself.
  config: {

I’ve updated. Now you can transform the event properties as your wish.

// In your targeted view configuration, add this.

transform: (event)=>{
  if (event.title.search("Birthday") > -1) { // If the event might include "Birthday" in its title,
    event.icon = "fxemoji-birthdaycake" // Set icon of that event to "fxemoji-birthdaycake"
  }
  return event // Return that event.
}

@sean Wow! Fantastic! Will give it a whirl.

@sean “show let’s say 10 markings per week”
What I meant was that there were two items missing on week 6. Therefore the “+2” like in the screenshot. Fixed it with:

hideOverflow: true

“You might have set the position of module itself. MMM-CalendarExt2 doesn’t need position for module itself. remove it from your configuration.”
Ah, of course. Set position under “views” and now it’s working as desired. Thank you!

Great job!

I was almost done with MMM-CalendarExt then you make it better, now my question is “is there a way to update it to MMM-CalendarExt2”?

Thanks.
