MMM-Calendar always shows 23:59 if showEndTime: True

[SwissChemist]

Hello Sam,
thanks very much for your great support.
Good news is that the endTime issue is solved now!

Nevertheless with recurring whole day events, the following entries are not correct yet:

3-weekly 13-14 is completely missing (should be 1.Okt)

Starting with the 3-weekly whole day 22.Okt (should be 21.Okt), every following ‘whole day meeting’ is shown one day too late.
You can easily see that even on your picture, as e.g. the 3-weekly whole day and the 3-weekly 13-14 should always take place at the same date.

Even on your picture this is not the case… monthly whole day is shown in 3 days, monthly 17-18 is shown in 4 days.

Once more, thanks for your great support so far!

yeh, that whole day thing… the spec says its whole day in the timezone where the computer is.
but the ical converter still adjusts it to UTC. (all parsed events are in UTC)

3-weekly 13-14 is completely missing (should be 1.Okt)
can’t be cause u asked for WEdnesdays

so , this repeating event might start on Oct 1, but thats a thursday, so will not be shown

but later, Starting with the 3-weekly whole day 22.Okt (should be 21.Okt),
starts on 21+1 days from today 00:00:00 Oct 21, and ends on Oct 22

this is a fix in the ical parser… so, it will take time to get out…

[sdetweil]

can we try another quick fix?

in calendar.js

				// Define second, minute, hour, and day variables
				var oneSecond = 1000; // 1,000 milliseconds
				var oneMinute = oneSecond * 60;
				var oneHour = oneMinute * 60;
				var oneDay = oneHour * 24;
				if (event.fullDayEvent) {
					//subtract one second so that fullDayEvents end at 23:59:59, and not at 0:00:00 one the next day
					//event.endDate -= oneSecond;   < ---- comment out this one line

@sdetweil
maybe you expected already that now the endTime of each whole day event is shown one day too late. Without that fix, it has been correct.

Regarding the ‘3-weekly whole day’ you gave me a perfect hint: As it is a user configured interval, you have to take care that begin of the event and day of the week you select as interval correspond. So if you configure it wrong, corresponding event will obviously not be shown, as you explained perfectly from your code analysis…

@sdetweil
I would not mind to see 23:59 as end of a whole day event, but it would also be fine for me to see the day where it starts again…

[sdetweil]

@SwissChemist finding an acceptable “end” marker for “full day” event is challenging.

it certainly ends when the next day starts.

[sdetweil]

@SwissChemist can u look at this, your cal, in your timezone, 2.13 no modifications
showEnd:true,
maximumEntries:25,

[SwissChemist]

@sdetweil
It’s getting better and better, great!

The only event, which is not correct yet, ist the 3-weekly 13-14. This should be in 21 days (Oct 22nd), exactly like the 3-weekly whole day. The following ones could be better controlled in an absolute time format…

[sdetweil]

@SwissChemist no… that cal entry says wednesdays, so the 21st, rule wins on exact days, start/end win on time

Ok, then it’s my error again. In the meantime I have corrected my calendar entry. Would you need a new calenendar export, or would you like to send me your fix to test it here?
