<![CDATA[Calendar absolute and time format not changing]]>Hey all. I am hoping someone can shed some light on calendar event time display for the default calendar module. I have pasted the code below and while I can get the events to show an absolute date, that is as far as I can get. changing dateFormat seems to do nothing. I have referenced Moment.js as noted in the documentation.

Maybe there is something fundamental I am not understanding? What I want, is to see the day of the week and the time for an event. For example: NameOfEvent Tue April 28th 10:00 AM

Here is the code, with some redaction on the ical address.

		{
			module: "calendar",
			header: "Family Calendar",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				maximumNumberOfDays: 21,
				getRelative: 0,
				urgency: 0,
				timeFormat: "absolute",
				dateFromat: "ddd MMM Do HH:mm",
				calendars: [
					{
						symbol: "calendar",
						url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/----------/basic.ics"
						},

				]
			}

But this results in the following display:

Despite get relative being set to 0, it is still showing the closest event as relative and the following are dates only. Any thoughts?

one for events with time
dateFormat
one for full day events, (without time)
fullDayEventDateFormat

the ones you showed look like full day events

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 ,
The “E” in “Javascript” stands for “Easy”
