  But I’m not sure this works in a daily view either. (some years passed…)

  But what you want is a week style view. Sorry, CX2 doesn’t support it.

Anyway, I don’t support maintaining CX2 any more. I’ll leave it as it is.

Instead, you can try CX3, for 7 days in a row.

@MMRIZE Wow, thanks a lot. This already looks much better. I used the slotMaxHeight: "auto" and that seems to do the trick. The daily row is also much closer to what I was looking after. I could reduce the spacing between the days, but it is a minor issue. I still need to rotate my view to portrait which may change a few things.

Thanks for mentioning CX3. I thought this is a separate component, but if that is a successor, I will migrate to that.

Keep up the good work, and Merry Christmas!

@csongor-varga-0 the CX3 line of products are basically a whole new product from CX2, same as CX2 was a whole new product over CX. They really don’t have anything to do with each other, other than name.

@MMRIZE @BKeyport I started adding the settings for Ext3. I really like the week view, the Outlook-like layout is very good.

So far I configured like this:

		{
			module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
			position: "bottom_bar",
			title: "This Week",
			config: {
			    mode: "week",
			    instanceId: "basicCalendar",
			    locale: 'hu-HU',
			    maxEventLines: 8,
			    firstDayOfWeek: 1,
			    weekIndex: 0,
			    weeksInView: 2,
			    useWeather: false,
			    skipDuplicated: true,
			    useSymbol: false,
			    calendarSet: ['Csongor', 'Iza']
			}
		},

What I find strange that I have a day with more than 5 events and I am seeing a +1 for that day even though maxEventLines is set to 8.

The title which worked in Ext2, seems to be ingored. Is there a different way to add a title to the module?

In this week view, I am not seeing any past event that happenes earlier that week. Although I have not set anything to hide the past events. Is this dependent on the main calendar configuration?

In my Ext2 examples, I had a simple upcoming list, separate for my and my wife. I tried using a mode=day for this, but that is still displaying 7 days. And in the documentation I am not seeing a daysInView option.

		{
			module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
			position: "top_left",
			title: "Csongor",
			config: {
			    mode: "day",
			    instanceId: "basicCalendar",
			    locale: 'hu-HU',
			    maxEventLines: 7,
			    dayIndex: 0,
			    calendarSet: ['Csongor']
			}
		},

Or would it be better just to use the main calendar component to display a simple upcoming list?

@csongor-varga-0 List view is provided by either the main calendar module itself, or CX3Agenda. (Same name, just add Agenda on the back)
