access to config language setting

justjim1220

@sdetweil
from what I can tell, modules containing the ability to change the language have their own translations folder.

Other than that, have you tried language = this.language

justjim1220

NVM, I just tried it and it di not work.

justjim1220

Which calendar module are you referring to?

sdetweil

@justjim1220 the default calendar module

the code in calendar.js does

	// Set locale.
		moment.updateLocale(this.config.language, this.getLocaleSpecification(this.config.timeFormat));

but it doesn’t have any value for this.config.language

as language is not in the MODULE config…
I also want to set timezone… as the user I am helping cannot get the clock and calendar to sync time offsets

if I copy those values to the calendar config block than they are accessible…

All I can find is to put this in your js file:

getTranslations: function() {
	return {
		en: "translations/en.json",
		de: "translations/de.json"
	}
}

for timezone:
Add this to your defaults in the modules js: timezone: "America/Chicago"

Then add this in the code:

 getScripts: function() {
	return [ 
            "moment.js", "moment-timezone.js"
        ];
},

and this:

var now = moment();
	if (this.config.timezone) {
	now.tz(this.config.timezone);
}

@justjim1220 no… you are not understanding me…

how do i get the USERS config for language and timezone? not system time, etc…

user is in Norway…

this.config.language

doesn’t exist in the calendar module… so the set locale will fail…

justjim1220

@sdetweil after you add all that I posted, in your config file the use can add the timezone and language they want to use.

{
    module: "calendar",
    position: "top_left",
    config: {
        language: "en",
        timezone: "Norway/Oslo"
    }
},

you will also need to add this to your start section:

/ /Set locale.
moment.updateLocale(config.language, this.getLocaleSpecification(config.timeZone));

@justjim1220 but I don’t want to duplicate the language config…
