Re: MMM-CalendarExt2
Hello all, loving this project, new to MM… I see lots of things I like but don’t always see how to accomplish then, any help you guys can provide would be awesome.

Using a 1920x1080 display rotated, want full month view to replace traditional wall calendar.

How can I get events to wrap to second line in month view?
Saw somewhere that it’s not possible due to multi day events? However I think I just saw someone post this.
My entire left side of my calendar getting cut off - How can I shift the whole calendar to the right? I’m assuming I have some conflict border or margin setting somewhere, but after many edits, I still cannot correct it.
Why does calendar disappear for a second and come back? Is it refreshing? Can I stop it from disappearing?

Also would like to know how to remove the extra line at the bottom of the events in each day. This sucks up a bunch of space.

BKeyport

@shfaxx Check to see if “hideOverflow: false,” in your view section takes out the extra space. It did for me in another view style.

also, @sean would have the answer on the cutoff, but I suspect it’s something to do with the rotation - I think it’s been covered before, check the main topic at https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/9279/

Saw somewhere that it’s not possible due to multi day events? However I think I just saw someone post this.

Can’t wrap. Ideally, it could be done by modification of CSS, but I don’t recommend it.
I regard this table views as a summary or overview, so I didn’t make it show details. MagicMirror screen resolution is not so enough(especially vertical layout). If wrapping would be allowed, the number of showing events should be less. For example, you have 6 events on Nov. 13, 4 are partially shown and 2 are hidden. With wrapping, 1 or 2 events would be displayed fully but others might be hidden. I believe it would be worse than current.

My suggestions are;

To use with other detail views - daily or upcoming, current views - together to get detailed information.
You can abbreviate titles and give separated styles by transform option to distinguish easily with less text.
(Example; you can give an icon and blue font for Kim's schedule and remove the text Kim from event Title.)

My entire left side of my calendar getting cut off - How can I shift the whole calendar to the right? I’m assuming I have some conflict border or margin setting somewhere, but after many edits, I still cannot correct it.

Maybe. But without whole CSS, I have no idea about it.

Why does calendar disappear for a second and come back? Is it refreshing? Can I stop it from disappearing?

Yes, it is refreshing. Adjust interval from configuration.
