      Hi:

      After the update to the current version failed at the weekend, I have completely reinstalled my MagicMirror². This has also worked in principle. However, the calendar module now always shows me absolute timeFormat. This was not the case before and I cannot change it. The setting [timeFormat: “relative”] does not work. Even with the unedited config.js.sample this behavior shows up.
      I replaced the “calendar.js” with the previous version, so the display works as desired. Only I am not release able with it.

      Does anyone have an idea?

          @sdetweil The URL works, the display of the timeFormat is incorrect!

            @mmm-kludo not my point. I want to see the config entry for calendar and do NOT want others to see your working calendar url

              @sdetweil Sorry, I must have misunderstood. For me, the behavior that no relative times are displayed already after the Installtion. Without that I have made changes in the configfile. Although the default setting is “relative”.
              All attempts on my part failed, except replacing the calendar.js.

              RaspOS version: more 5.10.63-v7l+
              Mirror version: “2.17.1”

                @mmm-kludo again, you haven’t provided the config.js section for the calendar.

                I want to see the exact text

                  @sdetweil I have not changed anything, the exact text is:

                                  {
                                          module: "calendar",
                                          header: "US Holidays",
                                          position: "top_left",
                                          config: {
                                                  calendars: [
                                                          {
                                                                  symbol: "calendar-check",
                                                                  url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics"
                                                          }
                                                  ]
                                          }
                                  },
                  

                  and on the mirror I see this:

                  Christmas           Saturday at 00:00
                  New Year's Day                Jan 1st
                  

                  but I would like, for example, this:

                  Help me                        Today
                  Christmas                   Tomorrow
                  New Year's Day             in 5 Days

                    @mmm-kludo ok, you say timeFormat: doesn’t work but u haven’t specified it in the config

                    ALL config for ANY module goes in config.js

                                    {
                                            module: "calendar",
                                            header: "US Holidays",
                                            position: "top_left",
                                            config: {
                                                   timeFormat: "relative",
                                                   ...  whatever other parms
                                                    calendars: [
                                                            {
                                                                    symbol: "calendar-check",
                                                                    url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics"
                                                            }
                                                    ]
                                            }
                                    },
                    

                    you NEVER change the source code itself…

                    note the getRelative parm …

                    calendar has too many options (in my opinion),

                      @sdetweil Thank you for your help. I have changed the value as you recommended. According to my understanding, this setting is also the default value. However, my display has not changed.

                        how far in front of the event does the thing change to relative? in HOURS

                        xmas is 4 DAYS (48 hours), default is 6 (HOURS)
