"absolute" does not mean absolute in default calendar module

sdetweil

@Alvinger you can change the timeFormat

@Alvinger also, as I am the one trying to fix calendar, I am interested in the offset problem.

new fixes were released on Monday, do if u got the develop branch before then, do another git pull to update it.
note: u need another

npm install

to update the node-ical library

if this doesn’t resolve your problem. I would love to see an event from your ics file. it is just text so I can copy/paste an entry here,

begin vevent
to
end vevent

@sdetweil the latest development version solved the offset problem for me. As far as the “absolute” problem I rewrote the relevant section of calendar.js. As I have already forked MagicMirror to make it run on my IOS 9.3.5 Ipads I can’t submit a PR (at least I don’t know exactly how to do that) but would be happy to send you the calendar.js file.

There is still a problem with full day recurring events.

I can PM you a link to a relevant public (but inofficial) calendar with the issues.

@Alvinger ok. the latest fixes, Monday did address full day recurring

I would be happy to see the cal

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.

Alvinger

@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.
