Setting 2 default calendar modules; but weird represent

[1a2a3a]

hi all

coming from this post - https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/18211/help-with-date-format-mmm-calendarext3/15?page=2

what i am trying to achieve here is that im running cx3 and cx3agenda and default calendar module.

i was able to change date format in cx3 and cx3agenda from mm d to d mm using locale.

now the issue is that i am not able to change the date format in the default calendar.

i have 2 default calendar running with 1 hidden -
default cal 1 (hidden): with personal ics and soccer ics.
default cal 2 (shown): with holiday ics.

reason being is that i do not want my default calendar to show all 3 ics. i want the default cal to only show holiday ics. cx3 and cx3agenda will show all 3 ics.

problem here is that for the 2 default calendar setup, despite changing the timeFormat to absolute and dateFormat to desire, it does not work.
this will only work once i revert to 1 default calendar. but that would mean my default calendar will show all 3 ics instead of just 1.

are there any options available?

@1a2a3a ok, got it…

the code is using this attribute

 'fullDayEventDateFormat'
  fulldayEventDateFormat: "Do. MMM",

you are suppling the second one

case matters, every character

so your config entry is ignored as it didn’t match, so it used the default

@1a2a3a I don’t understand your words

do u have 1 calendar module w 3 url entries
or more than one calendar module w different settings?

only the calendar module w a position: attribute will show the content

[1a2a3a]

@sdetweil we are talking about default cal ya? lets ignore cx here.
i have 1 hidden with 2 url. <- this is fine to be hidden because i need the url to be passed on to the cx.

have another 1 not hidden with 1 url. <- i cant change the date format for this with the code given unless i merge both cal (hidden and not hidden) url into 1 module. i only want this calendar to only show holiday and not the rest of the url.

im going to paste my code here

{
  module: "MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda",
  position: "top_left",
  title: "Today",
    config: {
	  locale: 'en-GB',
	  instanceId: "basicCalendar",
	  startDayIndex: 0,
	  endDayIndex: 7,
	  showMiniMonthCalendar: false,

  }
},


{
			module: "calendar",
			broadcastPastEvents: true,
			config: {
			timeFormat: "absolute",
			dateFormat: "Do MMM",
			calendars: [
					{
					 url: "personal.ics",
					name: "123",
					},
					{
					url: "personal2.ics",
					},
					{
					url: "soccer.ics",
					},

]
}
},


{
			 module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
			 position: "bottom_bar",
			 title: "",
			 config: {
			  mode: "weekly",
			  instanceId: "basicCalendar",
			  locale: 'en-GB',
			  weekIndex: 0,  
			  weeksInView: 4,
			  maxEventLines: 6,
			  fontSize: '18px',
			  eventHeight: '13px',
			  firstDayOfWeek: 0,
              		  useMarquee: true,
			  calendarSet: [],
   }
		},


		{
			module: "calendar",
			broadcastPastEvents: true,
			header: "Singapore Holiday",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
			timeFormat: "absolute",
			dateFormat: "Do MMM",
			fulldayEventDateFormat: "Do. MMM",
			maximumEntries: 10,
				calendars: [
					{
					url: "https://www.officeholidays.com/ics-clean/singapore",
					name: "Singapore Holiday",
					},

…

and this is my result. as you can see, managed to flip all the dates to d MM except the one on the right showing the holiday despite the code added in…

@1a2a3a I think you have the wrong format requested

Do MMM

from the moment format specs page
https://momentjscom.readthedocs.io/en/latest/moment/04-displaying/01-format/

Day of Month	D	1 2 ... 30 31
Do	1st 2nd ... 30th 31st
DD	01 02 ... 30 31

Do has th, nd,st…

D has just the number

DD has 2 digit number 0 prefixed

@1a2a3a one other minor forum thing…
alwasy warp config stuff in code block

paste text in editor
spare line above/below
select all the text you pasted
hit the </> button to wrap in code block… I added that for you this time

[1a2a3a]

@sdetweil nothing works actually. so you see my code.
the last paragraph on the default cal module where holiday ics is … no matter what format i choose for the date format, it will be stuck at Dec 25th. all i wanted is 25th Dec or 25 Dec.

@sdetweil yes yes yes! thank you so much! spent my entire day on this :(

[sdetweil]

@1a2a3a one of my modules ‘may’ help… doesn’t work for every module

see https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config

it provides a form for you to fill out… no more config editing…

some modules do tricky things… EXT3/Agenda

but they can be augmented with a proper config definition and work perfectly.
I ship the schemas for modules that won’t be updated as a way to help older modules…

@sdetweil I actually installed this but couldn’t get it to work. When I tried launching, the page looks gibberish to me and it doesn’t generate a new config file. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong.
