Hello, since the switch to Cal3, I no longer see any events in my calendar. I tried with the French holiday calendar, and it works, I added lots of events in mine, but nothing worked. Looks like it’s coming from my ICS file. An idea ? (translated with Google)

@Ottosophie did u set a specific list of cals to read from in the cx3 config?
did u add a name field to the cal entry in the base calendar module,?

I’m guessing
I just installed cx3 multiple times without any issue.

@sdetweil Thank you for your answer, I only restarted my raspberry several times and all my events came back, weird.

I have another question, is it possible for an event to be written on 2 lines so that we can see the end instead of the 3 small dots? Thanks

Is it possible to set this as a rolling calendar forward where only the current week is shown in the top. Dont need the historical days to be shown?

@onryanti set weeks in view=1

// In the config of the module;
config: {
  weekIndex: 0, // From which week the view starts; -1 : last week, 0: this week 2: 2 weeks later, ...
  weeksInView: 3, // How many weeks will be shown from `weekIndex`
...
}

@sdetweil I managed to solve it to show the calendar how I wanted to. Thanks

@sdetweil
I’m already with weeksInView: 1, my screen is in portrait mode, so the boxes are not very wide. I would have liked an automatic lineup. I tried to decrease the font size, but it doesn’t show anything anymore. If anyone has a solution, thanks in advance.

// In the config of the module;
config: {
  fontSize: '12px', // default would be 18px. 
  eventHeight: '16px', // the height of the event block. default would be 22px. usually 4px greater than `fontSize` would be pretty to look.
  maxEventLines: 5, // How many events will be displayed in a day cell. The overflowed events will be hidden.
...
}

I don’t recommend wrapup long text to the multi-lines in the cell instead of one-line clipped. Because it could make misalignments, it might look more complex to glance at the events and unpretty.

What I suggest are;

Use with default calendar view or MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda to look for more detailed information for upcoming events. Do you really want the exact title of the events which will come 3 weeks later?
To distinguish events more clearly, instead of a long title, you can transform it into a shorter obvious form with the acronym, emoji, color…
For example, you can shorten all OOO's birthday to 🎂 OOO. It would be a more intuitive form than lengthy text.


eventTransformer: (ev) => {
  if (ev.title.search('birthday') > -1)  ev.title = '🎂' + ev.title.replace("'s birthday", ' ')
  return ev
}
