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

now I have corrected my calender entry, but I still cannot see same date for ‘3-weekly whole day’ and ‘3-weekly 13-14’.
Do you see same date for these events?
Any idea what I do wrong? Thx very much!
-
@SwissChemist what is your config for these entries, so I get the start formatting the same
never mind, copied from first entry
-
@SwissChemist yeh, I can see the same thing, actually there is a bigger problem… see the time switch standard to daylight
something happens , they go from start and end on same day to start one day end the nextweekly whole day does, 6th, 13, 20, 26?? 11/2
3 weekly happens around that same time, the actual clock is 10-22:22:00:00zbut the whole day things look weird… start on one day, and on the next… is that 1 day or 2?
all of the whole day events are '2 days actually, start on one day, end on the nextone thing on the 3-weekly whole day, you have TH set as the day, if u remove that it works… the rule processor
returns a different day depending.will have to examine
so, something about the tz switch has messed this up… thanks for great testcase
-
@sdetweil i think I have a test fix, incuding the time correction over dst/std time shift
your timezone, all cal entries for whole day changed to 1 day (the 1st of the two listed)

@sdetweil
I am currently not sure how this will look like after changing from DST(UTC+2) to STD time(UTC+1).
For sure this will happen on sunday, 25th of October. That’s why whole day events starting on 26th look differently.
But how should it look like today? Oct 26th 01:00 - Oct 27th 00:59??? -
@SwissChemist install 2.13
and replace the ~/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar/calendarfetcher.js
with this
https://www.dropbox.com/s/t7m1f49kvv3x2b1/calendarfetcher.js?dl=0save the old one
it should correct dst/std time changes

@sdetweil
3-weekly whole day now shows Okt 23, but it should be Okt 22As I have seen in the calendar file, switching from DST to STD time is correctly defined for last Sunday in October, that is 25th of October. So this should not influence an event on 22nd of October…
Regarding events after switching from DST to STD time, I don’t have a clue, as I am not a dev, just a little experienced in testing…
I tried to understand the calendar file. As far as I have seen, you have only the date for whole day events (without any time):BEGIN:VEVENT
CREATED:20201001T205859Z
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20201023
DTSTAMP:20201001T205900Z
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20201022
LAST-MODIFIED:20201001T205859Z
RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=3;BYDAY=TH
SEQUENCE:1
SUMMARY:3-weekly whole day
UID:D718FE41-FF1B-43F6-9442-E9E43A41CCF0
URL;VALUE=URI:
END:VEVENTIn this case DTSTART is 20201022 and DTEND is 20201023.
For whole day events, can’t you simply set:
‘Begin’ to value of DTSTART 00:00 and
‘End’ to value of DTEND - 1day 23:59? (just as ical most probably uses 24:00 and that’s one day later)Maybe it’s not as simple as I assume, otherwise you would have tried that already…
As we currently have TZOFFSET+0200 and switch to TZOFFSET+0100, I would rather expect that we see current events (planned after 25th Oct) on the monitor 1 hour too late.
So that’s why I currently would rather expect:
Oct 27th 01:00 - Oct 28th 00:59 for weekly whole day after switching to STD time instead of
Oct 26th 23:00 - Oct 27th 22:59But as I mentioned before, maybe everything is much more complicated than I ever can imagine…
-
@SwissChemist your whole day event starts on one day, and ends on another
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20201023
DTSTAMP:20201001T205900Z
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20201022make up your mind…lol
I changed all the whole day DTEND to the same date as the DTSTART
-
@SwissChemist if it were easy!!!
the rule processor has a bug w timezones
and apparently with multiple whole day events, and with dst/std adjustmentand the calendar parser is not ours, and the rule processor is not ours,
and we are split into get dates to show and show dates… show dates(calendar.js) doesn’t know anything about the cal entry. it’s just gets a list of start and end times, in utc time
-
I just uploaded another calendarfetcher.js to dropbox which corrects the timezone adjustment for daylight/std switch
I was using the local system time instead of the calendar event start time to compare offsets with the rule created time
