Builtin calendar module: dateformat, timeformat

[DomRep]

Hey folks,

I’m on the last mile setting up my MM as smart display for the kitchen. May layout is almost finished, but I have a minor configuration problem with the calendar:

In the config-excerpt below there are 3 CalDAV-Calendars (URL truncated for privacy) that are working and displayed correctly.

configuration options are identical to the sample config, except symbol and color and of course the URL.

But when I tried to change the format for the SECOND calendar, nothing changes.

What I wanted:
The second calendar should show absolute dates (Mo. 01.01.) and start and end time in 24h format.

What I get:
Entries are displayed with relative dates (tomorrow at) and only start times in 24h-Format, just like the other two calendars where I kept the default format.

I’ve tried to follow the documentation and I’m a little bit disappointed that I didn’t even manage to produce an error, but that MM just ignores my effort ;)

Do you know where I took the wrong turn?

Thanx, Markus

@DomRep unfortunately the dateFormat/timeFormat/showEnd options apply to ALL calendars, so they would have to be above the calendars:[] list

in the doc,

• the first section of parameters are for ALL calendars…

• the second section is for individual calendars…

you can create another module: calendar for that one in the same position
but the entries will not be merged with the others.

I would suggest opening an issue on the github repo asking for an enhancement here.
and post your config… (as u have here)

So there’s my misunderstanding: It’s a global setting :)

Actually, having to set these config values for all calendars alike is fine for me…

I just started to test the effect for “calendar two” because I wanted to compare the effect against the others two.

In my original post I emphasized this (the SECOND calendar) just to make following my pursuit easier for forum readers.

Thank you @sdetweil for the clarification :)
