absolute date in calendar module

qqqqqqqq

I want the calendar to display the exact day of the event(birthdays), instead of saying “in 3 days” or “The day after tomorrow” since it takes up too much of space.
I tried changing it in the main config file & the calendar.js file (both), but no change is reflected.

@qqqqqqqq can you post your config?

Here is my main config file

{
			module: 'calendar',
			header: 'Your Calendar',
			position: 'top_left',
			config: {
				timeformat: 'absolute',
				calendars: [
					{
						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
						url: 'webcal://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/....ics'
					},
					{
						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
						url: 'webcal://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/....ics'
					},
					{
						symbol: 'facebook-official ',
						url: 'webcal://localhost:8080/modules/Cals/FbBirthday.ics'

					},
					{
						symbol: 'calendar ',
						url: 'webcal://calendar.google.com/c.....ics'
					}
				]
			}
		},
		{
			module: 'compliments',

You should also set urgency to 0

Please try to write timeFormat instead of timeformat, this is case sensitive
Also try to play around with urgency

Okay, made both the changes, fixed the case in “timeFormat” and added

urgency: '0',

right next to the timeFormat tag.

But, now the events appear like this

event 1 The day after tomorrow
event 2 Feb 19th
event 3 Feb 21st

Still need to fix event 1

Please replace '0' with 0

Numbers should not be written with quotation marks

Nope, still the same.

Btw, i should let you know that I am start the MagicMirror by using the command

npm start

Should I be using some other method to start it? Do I need to clear cache or something like that?

@qqqqqqqq
Starting your mirror for testing purpose is just fine.

Please try this:

...
	config: {
		timeFormat: 'absolute',
		urgency: 0,
		getRelative: 0,
		calendars: [
...

I’ve updated the values in both, the main config file & the calendar.js (in the modules folder) but it’s still the same.
