"absolute" does not mean absolute in default calendar module

BKeyport

Absolute isn’t absolute, without other tags…

getRelative and urgency also need to be set.

// Force Absolute to Absolute all the time, michmich *really* hates solid dates, apparently. 
timeformat: "absolute",
getRelative: 0,
urgency: 0 ,

@hango correct, that’s all I did. But I changed it in all MM files. If I just knew exactly which files are executed in the browser I could have changed just those. As the iPads require a server (which can handle the latest ES) one only needs to change the browser-executed files.

@BKeyport well almost! I have this exact config but running events are still changed to “ends in xx min”! And all day events still shows as “today”

I’ve done a rewrite of the relevant section of calendar.js but can’t use my github clone repo to make a PR.

@Alvinger u needed to.make a fork, and then clone that. fork button is upper right

Alvinger

@sdetweil I know. But I have already forked the MM master and made changes to use my Ipad 2. How do I make a new branch containing the latest MM development files? My plan was to wait until the new version was merged into Master and then do my Ipad2-related changes. Github won’t allow me to have multiple repositories with the same name.

Alvinger

@sdetweil I have created a PR for the proposed calendar changes.

sdetweil

@Alvinger what branch did u use when u made your changes?

Alvinger

@hango I just checked the development branch of MM and changed the following files. It now works perfectly on my Ipad2. Of course, if you use non-default modules you may have to edit them as well.

modified: js/electron.js
modified: js/translator.js
modified: modules/default/alert/alert.js
modified: modules/default/alert/notificationFx.js
modified: modules/default/calendar/calendar.js
modified: modules/default/compliments/compliments.js
modified: modules/default/newsfeed/newsfeed.js
modified: modules/default/updatenotification/updatenotification.js
modified: modules/default/weather/weather.js
modified: modules/default/weather/weatherobject.js
modified: modules/default/weatherforecast/weatherforecast.js

The changes I made to the above files are:

Changed all “let” to “var”.
Changed all “() =>” to “function ()”. Also, you have to make sure that the expression following “function ()” is enclosed in curly braces “{}”, i.e. no one-liners!

@Alvinger That’s the one relative time I can agree with, honestly. Give me a timer so I can kick people out of my office… 🤣🤣
