show End in Calendar Config
-
@cweinhofer you can have it set globally for ALL calendars (above the calendars:[] list
OR you can set it in A calendar entry
{ url: showEnd: true }
this is to show the end date/time of the event
without event for tomorrow STARTS at 4pm with event for tomorrow STARTS at 4pm and ENDS at 5pm
-
Both of the things you mention make logical sense, but neither seem to work that way in real life.
when
showEnd
is set tofalse
(or left blank, as false is defualt), the event only shows the day and not any time
whenshowEnd
is set totrue
, the event shows the day and the start time
neither option seems to show the end time (or end day) of an eventand
showEnd
works when I set it in the global section, but does nothing when I add it to an individual calendar entryIs your MM behaving differently then mine?
-
@cweinhofer AND you have to set timeFormat:‘absolute’
and u MAY have to change the getRelative and other settings…
way too many settings
config: { showEnd:true, timeFormat:"absolute", urgency:0, getRelative:0,
-
I agree. The number of settings and their interrelatedness is a little overwhelming.
My config already has the other three settings
{ module: "calendar", position: "right", config: { maximumNumberOfDays: 2, displaySymbol: true, fetchInterval: 15 * 60 * 1000, fade: false, urgency: 0, timeFormat: "absolute", dateFormat: "ddd", fullDayEventDateFormat: "ddd", showEnd: true, getRelative: 0, showTimeToday: true, colored: false, calendars: [ { url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/ ... /basic.ics", symbol: "c", }, { url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/ ... /basic.ics", symbol: "j", }, { url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/ ... /basic.ics", symbol: "t", }, ], } },
** I deleted and reposted my entry from yesterday becuse I realized in my various testing I had left off one of the options. This is my actual config. **
-
@cweinhofer your dateFormat says only show date
-
Thanks, @sdetweil That was the ticket.
From both the name of the option and the fact that the description and example don’t say anything about including a time format, I assumed this was not the place to set that.
I think I had even tried doing it at one point and it didn’t work – but I probably hadn’t tried it with
urgency:0
andgetRelative:0
set.I’m going to put in a pull request to try to make this a little less confusing for others in the future. Can you tell me if this sounds okay?
CURRENT ENTRY
Format to use for the date of events when using absolute dates. (version <= 2.16.0) From version 2.16.0, this option will be used to format absolute and relative dates. (e.g. DD/MM/YY to change from the default MM/DD/YYYY)
Possible values: See Moment.js formats
Default value: MMM Do (e.g. Jan 18th)PROPOSED CHANGE

To show the event time along with the date, use a format like MMM Do HH:mm. Depending on configuration, may also require the options timeFormat:“absolute”, urgency:0, getRelative:0,

@cweinhofer its ok… who reads the doc?! lol…
like any other reference manual it leaves out a lot of detail.
someone could write 50-75 pages of explanation with matching output examples. but it would be a bear to maintain… as we still take changes to provide other formatting options…
(a recently submitted one wants to show ONLY the start date/time when the event duration is 0 and showEnd is true…)
