<![CDATA[calendar module - format today events with time]]>Hi,
I would like to format the calendar events of today and tomorrow relatively with time. All other events should be formatted in the form “ddd, D.MMM, HH:mm”.
In the new version there is a new config option showTimeToday with which I should be able to do this. But I don’t get along with it and need help.
The events should be displayed like this for example:

appointment-1                 Heute, 18:00
appointment-2                Morgen, 14:00
appointment-3            Mo, 30.Okt, 09:00

my config is

{
		module: "calendar",
		header: "Nächste Termine ",
		position: "top_left",
		config: {
			fetchInterval: 600000, // 10 Minuten
			calendars: [
				{
					/* Kalender Paula */
					symbol: "female",
					url: "....ics"
				},
				{
					/* Kalender Sepp */
					symbol: "male",
					url: "....ics"
				},
			],
			maxTitleLength: 21,
			wrapEvents: false,
			dateFormat: "ddd, D.MMM, HH:mm",
			fullDayEventDateFormat: "ddd, D.MMM",
			timeFormat: "absolute",
			getRelative: 12,
			urgency: 0,
			showEnd: false,
			maximumEntries: 6,
			fade: false,
			hidePrivate: false,
			nextDaysRelative: true,
			sliceMultiDayEvents: false,
			showTimeToday: true,
		}
	},

Many thanks for any help.

Many greetings
Sepp

you can ‘most’ of the way there with

        timeFormat: "relative",
        getRelative: 1,
        showTimeToday: false,

1st is full day
2nd is upcoming in 3 hours

But that unfortunately still does not do the whole job

config:

maxTitleLength: 21,
wrapEvents: false,
dateFormat: "ddd, D.MMM, HH:mm",
fullDayEventDateFormat: "ddd, D.MMM",
timeFormat: "relative",
getRelative: 12,
urgency: 1,
showEnd: false,
maximumEntries: 6,
fade: false,
hidePrivate: false,
nextDaysRelative: true,
sliceMultiDayEvents: false,
showTimeToday: false,

result:

I actually just want the display like with timeformat: “absolute”. Only that with the current day simply “Today” is indicated and the same perhaps also with “Tomorrow”.

desired result:

Unfortunately I am too little experienced in coding the MagicMirror programs. Otherwise I would suggest a change for this, if the behavior is not achievable with the current settings.

Could you, dear @sdetweil, do that? Thanks a lot

Josef

showTimeToday must be false, and dateFornat must be ‘relative’, not absolute

Vielleicht gibt es ja eine Lösung. - …this has been bothering me for a long time. Maybe there is a solution.

IfI set

urgency: 1

then an appointment for today is displayed like this

Test appointment                            in 4 hours

but I would like to have the display

Test appointment                              today, 17:00

how can I achieve this?
thanks
Josef

but you have it set to 0

                        timeFormat: "absolute",
			getRelative: 12,
			urgency: 0,

showTimeToday does the reverse…

in relative mode forces today’s events to NOT be relative. only for today, no other time window

get relative is used in relative mode for AN hour based time window
