I’m working in the same situation: using an old iPad and trying to conserve space. I used this transform you posted way back in this thread:

/* In your config */
eventTransformer: (ev) => {
  if (!ev.isFullday) {
    let t = new Date(ev.startDate)
    let time = (t.getMinutes() === 0) ? String(t.getHours()) : String(t.getHours() + ':' + t.getMinutes())
    ev.title = `<span class="myTime">${time}</span> ${ev.title}`	
  }
  return ev 
}

That works great, but how can I get it to display the hour in 12h, not 24h?

@Decimeter9667 time see the eventTimeOptions

Decimeter9667

@sdetweil Hmm… are you sure that works in the context of the transform I showed? eventTimeOptions doesn’t seem to change it.

@Decimeter9667

you are doing it raw. Date.getHours() returns 0-23
so YOU have to check , and substract 12 if over 12

@sdetweil Thanks. For anyone else looking to do this, here’s how I modified the code:

        eventTransformer: (ev) => {
                    if (!ev.isFullday) {
                    let t = new Date(ev.startDate)
                    const amPm = t.getHours() >= 12 ? 'p' : 'a';
                    let time = (t.getMinutes() === 0) ? String(t.getHours() % 12 || 12) : String( (t.getHours() % 12 || 12)  + ':' + t.getMinutes())
                    ev.title = `<span class="myTime">${time}${amPm}</span> ${ev.title}`
                    }
                return ev
                }

@Decimeter9667 you could have set the hour in a local variable when you did the am/pm test

// assume am. 
// of course you could reverse this if most of the events are in the afternoon
let amPm='a'
let hour=t.getHours()
     if(hour >= 12) {
             amPm= 'p';
             hour-= 12
    }

then not have 2 more calls to getHour()

performance things creep in all the time… (as you might be doing this for all events…)

Hello, I’m new to MagicMirror trying to build my first. I’m having an issue with any events showing up. When I run the attached code I get a blank calendar. However when I run the regular calendar I see all the events. Am I doing something wrong?

{
			module: "MMM-MonthlyCalendar",
			header: "Family Calendar",
			position: "bottom_bar",
			config: {
				updatesEvery: 30,
				weeksInFuture: 5, 
				mode: "fourWeeks",
				firstDayofWeek: "sunday",
                               //maximumEntries: "10000", <--- " I saw in one of the forums that this could help but it did not."
				calendars: [
				  {
					url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/******basic.ics",
					priority: 1,
				  },
				]
			  }
			}

Here is a screenshot of the regular calendar.

This is what it looks like with MMM-CalendarExt3

@anonymous321 2 things

what MagicMirror version is this? latest?

see this https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19282/version-2-30-0-calendar-fix-for-clipping-broadcast-events

anonymous321

I think its the latest. I just installed it two nights ago. How would I check the version number?

sdetweil

@anonymous321 look at the messages at startu
if using pm2 then

pm2 logs --lines=xxx
xxx is number of most recent lines, default 15

or look inside the package.json file
