Default Calendar - Full Day Events are not shown on day of event

Feedy88

Hey all,

I am using the default calendar module for my MM. So far I got quite some things to work. To feed my contacts birthdays I created a static file which I am using which works well. The only issue I have is, that on the day of the event (the actual birthday) the names are not showing up anymore.

Sample ical-entry and calendar-config below:

{
    module: "calendar",
    header: "Termine & Feiertage",
    position: "top_left",
    config: {
        fetchInterval: 60000,
        displaySymbol: true,
        showLocation: false,
        fade: true,
        fadePoint: 0.4,
        dateFormat: "D. MMM HH:mm",
        fullDayEventDateFormat: "D. MMM",
        timeFormat: "absolute",
        getRelative: 12,
        urgency: 0,
        maximumEntries: 5,
        calendars: [
            {
                symbol: "cocktail",
                url: "webcal://www.ecoline-media.de/ics/nordrhein-westfalen.ics"
            },
            {
                symbol: 'calendar-check',
                url: 'webcal://localhost:8080/modules/calendars/9*******-****-****-****-***********D.ics',
            },
            {
                symbol: 'birthday-cake',
                url: 'webcal://localhost:8080/modules/calendars/birthdays.ics',
            }
        ]
    }
},

Would appreciate some help.

@Feedy88 what timezone are the events in compared to your mm timezone?

the cal entries don’t say

sdetweil

@Feedy88 said in Default Calendar - Full Day Events are not shown on day of event:

19630626

also, this looks interesting… the BD actual date… recurring, repeated til now… that date is passed (June 26), so shouldn’t show on calendar

@sdetweil Thanks for your reply. I have specified the timezone now:

Also on your other post, this was just any birthday I pulled. I have created a fake one for today but still the same issue.

I have also played around with my icloud calender and found the following:

Creating a full day event displays on the day of the event with the word “Today”.
Creating a reoccurring full day event does not display on the day of the event but one day in advance.

The only difference in both Events is the RRULE:

Not Reoccurring:

@Feedy88 Hi I’m a beginner without coding experience. What should I do fix it? because I have the same problem with my events for birthday calendar, that it isn’t shown at that day.

@bryan_1 follow the instructions on the topic for 2.12 temp fixes at the top of the troubleshooting forum section
no coding required

@sdetweil Hi, thank’s for your response, but I don’t get it or maybe to stupid to understand it.
I ran “npm run lint:prettier” and my mirror is blank now

sdetweil

@bryan_1 why did u run that?
