Today is the 29th August 2021
Calendar now shows “29. August 2021” (“LL”)
I just want to have “29. August”. Thats just

dateFormat: 'D.MMMM',

I`ll keep it here for others if they search for it too. Did´nt found that in the docu somehow.

It’s tiring. If you don’t want to actually provide any assistance then why are you even replying? You could have helped and also made others like myself feel that the MM community is welcoming. On first impressions, I have seen this and it thought “you know what, why bother even looking here for assistance if the reps are going to be like this”.

fade : false,
timeFormat : "absolute",
dateFormat : "DD MMM",	

that fixed it thank you !

can you explain what the follow is 'Fade: false/ true ’ what does this refer to or alter?

and what does the “absolute” refer back too ?

Try this…

{
		module: "calendar",
		header: "AR Holidays",
		position: "top_left",
		config: {
			fade : false,
			timeFormat : "absolute",
	                fullDayEventDateFormat : "DD-MM-YYYY",		
			calendars: [						
				{
				        symbol: "calendar-check",
					    url: "https://calendar.google.com/sic.ics",
						auth: {
							user: '',
							pass: '',
							method: 'basic'
						      }
				}						
					
					
					
			]
		}
	},

mine doesn’t even display the default date as per this doc, I would copy a picture but it has a bunch of private appointments in there.

Default value: MMM Do (e.g. Jan 18th)

mine displays (for example)

'appointment 03/10/2021

my job as moderator here is to teach u and direct you to info.

the doc is the online readme referenced in the README.md in the calendar module folder
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules/default/calendar

this is the same doc file name for everything

and sometimes i dont look.up the exact config term, cause i expect you to do.it

not sure if this is what you mean, but still nothing changes, all dates are still MM/DD/YYYY

Showtime: “absolute”, no idea where this is mentioned in the document, unsure where it goes.

dateFormat - config option, in the configuration

// The config property is optional.
// If no config is set, an example calendar is shown.
// See ‘Configuration options’ for more information.

{
       module: “calendar”,
       header: “AU Holidays”,
       position: “top_left”,
          config: {
                  showtime: "absolute",
                 dateFormat: “DD MMM”,
                  calendars: [
                             {
                             symbol: “calendar-check”,
                             url: “https://calendar.google.com……”
                              },
                              ]
                 },
},

as for reading the document, I have ctrl+f ’ showtime’ , ‘Not calendar’ all these things you mention in each post, so unless we are reading different documents … I have zero idea where you are getting the information from

you can keep being condescending as much as you want, trying my best i have been doing this for around 7 days.

This thread could of been 3 posts long, describe the issue, post an answer with an explanation and a last reply of thankyou this helps alot.

you are configuring a module, so any options would ONLY be inside a module config:{} block

and remember the system is case sensitive. every letter matters

the doc describes 2 areas of config,

calendars and NOT calendars

all the NOT calendar opitions go INSIDE MODULE CONFIG and BEFORE the CALENDARS list

all the calendar config, goes with each calendar entry

does the showtime: “absolute”, go out of the modules up where it has language, log level, timeformat, units?

i tried in there didnt make any difference

i put in down in the module in serval places didnt change, tried both “L” and “DD MMM” on the dateFormat.

{
       module: “calendar”,
       header: “AU Holidays”,
       position: “top_left”,
          config: {
                  calendars: [
                             {
                             symbol: “calendar-check”,
                             url: “https://calendar.google.com……”
                             dateFormat: “L”,
                              },
                              ]
                 },
},

but it also says ‘when using absolute formats’

by default the calendar is showing relative formats…

so u also need to set

showTime:"absolute",

this is my current config code, i have tried placing it in both positions as shown (one at a time) still doesnt change anything on the calendar.

I got the ‘L’ command from here https://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/string-format/

DD MMM didnt work

{
module: “calendar”,
header: “AU Holidays”,
position: “top_left”,
config: {
dateFormat: “L”,
calendars: [
{
symbol: “calendar-check”,
url: “https://calendar.google.com……”
dateFormat: “L”,
},
]
},
},

so dateformat and dateFormat (from the doc) are not the same.

and there is an example that shows where is goes.

i get it sam, you can paste the user guide and documents all day. i have read them but dont understand the format them hence my posts.
