@MMRIZE Is there a way to show a rolling 4/5 week in the month mode? Basically something like -1 week to +3 weeks rather than showing basically the current month until that month is over.

Also, is there a trick to get the calendar to re-render completely on some interval? On my MM right now, it’s currently showing the current day in the 5th week (i.e. still showing April as the current month). If I restart MM, it will update to show May as current month, but doesn’t seem to do it automatically. I only have 1 scene so not using MMM-Scenes.

You don’t have to read entire posts on this thread. Just read the README md first.
And there is the feature description of what you want probably.

i did. again, im new to all of this. i am not a programmer at all in any sense. im an ME but did have to take a c++ course like 20 years ago. my brain just doesn’t see this stuff easily. i can read through the readme’s for various modules and get the basic functions but then i have been reading through all the trouble shooting threads about them to get a better understanding on how to actually do it.

at this point im guessing something on the css level with transforming or preprocessing the data?

@MMRIZE the background highlighting issue is shown in my screenshot. If you look at October 11 in the shot, you’ll notice the highlight is smaller than the text.
Same goes for the full day event shown on Nov 2, the highlight is blocking the “2” partially.

That being said, I’m gonna work on expanding my module to do a big calendar instead. I’m not getting what I want even with monkeypatch, and it’s getting too confused.

@roth_nj in the config of the module set the ‘mode’ to week. The add the config option ‘weeksInView’ and set that to 4 or 5
Here’s an extract from mine:

{
			module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
			position: "lower_third",
			config: {
				mode: "week",
				weekIndex: 0,
				weeksInView: 5,

As MMRIZE says, it’s in the readme file (under config details). The re-render, as you say is also listed in there, as one of the intervals.

Have another issue I just recently noticed. I have two different modules running, one in day view showing one week worth of calendar. The other is in month view. The day view is set with dayIndex of 0 so the current day is the first day. Day 7 on the view shows no events although they are shown for that day on the month view calendar. I could not find any similar posts with issues in this thread so hoping someone has seen and can provide some help. Here are screenshots for reference. It is always the last day in the day view, so for right now Tuesday the 24th is where the issue lies. I’ve changed weeksInView to 2 and it was always just the last day of the series.

Month View:

@aircliff
Maybe the bug. I’ll inspect it. :)

@aircliff
I found where the bug lies on.

I’ll fix it tomorrow. :)

@MMRIZE

Thank you. I actually played with it quite a bit last week and specifically that line and couldn’t get it to work for me. I would end up adding a second week or multiple extra days. Interested to see what you find as the fix.

MMRIZE

@aircliff
fixed. (1.6.1)

give enough height to cell header

Same goes for the full day event shown on Nov 2, the highlight is blocking the “2” partially.

Your height of cellHeader is smaller than the fontsize used.
By default it is defined as --cellheaderheight

That being said, I’m gonna work on expanding my module to do a big calendar instead. I’m not getting what I want even with monkeypatch, and it’s getting too confused.

As I showed you, it is possible, but it doesn’t mean easy.
Anyway, this module is not designed to show events like that, however, I introduced to you how to override by monkey-patching, but if you are not satisfied, the only way would be to build a new module for that purpose.
