absolute date in calendar module

qqqqqqqq

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

yawns

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? :slight_frown:

@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.

@qqqqqqqq with the current implementation this is the expected behaviour

} else if (event.startDate - now < 2 * oneDay && event.startDate - now > 0) {
  if (this.translate("DAYAFTERTOMORROW") !== "DAYAFTERTOMORROW") {
    timeWrapper.innerHTML = this.capFirst(this.translate("DAYAFTERTOMORROW"));
  } else {
    timeWrapper.innerHTML = this.capFirst(moment(event.startDate, "x").fromNow());
  }
}

it will be always relative

EDIT: this is only for fullday events

I tested it yesterday and my calendar showed “tomorrow at 15:30” and “Saturday at 14:00”

That is as absolute as it gets, imho

@strawberry-3.141

Most of my events are Fullday events. So, yeah.

Right now, I guess it gets relative for next 3/4 days, and absolute thereafter.

I was running into the same issue with not being able to disable the relative days, My issue was that when something was set to “The day after tomorrow” it made the module far to wide and overwrote other modules(Im using an older low res screen). To fix this I edited the file at MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar/calendar.js and replaced line 237 with the entry below, I changed it to two days which is much shorter but you can change it to whatever you want.

timeWrapper.innerHTML = this.capFirst(this.translate(“Two Days”));

The line originally was.

timeWrapper.innerHTML = this.capFirst(this.translate(“DAYAFTERTOMORROW”));

Is it a big task to change so that it displays weekdays for the current week and then dates when the event is further away?

So lets say it is Wednesday. The calendar would then display it like:
Event Today
Event Thursday
Event Saturday
Event Sunday
Event Oct 9
Event Oct 11
…

Edit: Can see that the urgency option takes x amount of days. Would be nice if the urgency function returns the days(Monday, Tuesday…) in stead of the amount of days away.
