Calendar / CalendarExt3 Font-Color and Symbol

MMRIZE

{
	module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
	position: "bottom_bar",
	config: {
		... // other configs...
		eventTransformer: (ev) => {
			const customEvents = [
				{ keyword: "Gelber Sack", symbol: "fas fa-arrows-spin", color: "yellow" },
				{ keyword: "Hausmüll", symbol: "fas fa-trash-can", color: "green" },
			]
			const found = customEvents.find((condition) => {
				return ev.title.search(condition.keyword) !== -1
			})
			if (found) {
				ev.icon = [ found.symbol ]
				ev.color = found.color
			}
			return ev
		},
	}
},

PS. It was a somewhat late answer. For your new questions, I’ll reply again.

if I use ev.sybol = ‘trash-can’ my calendar module is no longer displayed, but if I use ev.symbol = [‘trash-can’] the entry is displayed without a symbol.

Broadcasted events information from default calendar module is not so well-formed. You should use like this.

["fa-solid fa-trash-can"]

I’m not sure somebody fix this issue, I reported long days ago. Anyway, until fix, use that way.

for “Fitness” I have selected the color “pink”. However, the “Fitness” entry is not colored pink, only the symbol. How do I make the font pink?

That was my intention. (I hate colored text. :D)

If you really want colored text, append belows into your css/custom.css

/* custom.css */
.CX3 .event.singleday .headline .title {
  color: var(--calendarColor);
}

If I abbreviate a birthday with “Geb.” and want to see the “birthday-cake” symbol instead of “Geb.”, how would I have to execute the “Replace” entry?

Maybe this… (not tested)

...
if (ev.title.search('Geb.') !== -1) {
  ev.title = ev.title.replace('Geb.', '')
  ev.symbol = ["fas fa-birthday-cake"]
}
...

@MMRIZE Many thanks for the quick reply, but unfortunately that didn’t work either.

This is how I stored it in Config.js

		{
			module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
			position: "bottom_bar",
			title: "Kalender",
			config: {
				mode: "week",
				useSymbol: true,
				eventTransformer: (ev) => {
						const customEvents = [
							{ keyword: "Gelber Sack", symbol: ["fa-solid fa-arrows-spin"], color: "yellow" },
							{ keyword: "Hausmüll", symbol: ["fa-regular fa-trash-can"], color: "green" },
							{ keyword: "Fitness", symbol: ["fa-solid fa-dumbbell"], color: "pink" },
						]
						const found = customEvents.find((condition) => {
							return ev.title.search(condition.keyword) !== -1
						})
						if (found) {
								ev.icon = [ found.symbol ]
								ev.color = found.color
						}
						return ev
				},
			}
		},

result

The all-day events are yellow and green.
I can understand the colorful font, but then I’ll see how I can get it into the .CX3. Can you do it there only for the keywords or only completely? I just want Fitness to be pink but everything else to stay black or white.

Unfortunately, the desired symbols are still not displayed.
They still remain at "arrow-right as I set it in the module: “Calendar”.
I have tried it in the config with [] and also without. Both here the same result.

I’ll try the “replace” later. Thank you! :-)

Original. (All these test events are from the same calendar)

eventTransformer: (ev) => {
	if (ev.title.search('Fitness') !== -1) {
		ev.symbol = [ 'fa-solid fa-dumbbell' ]
		if (!ev.isFullday) ev.title = ev.title.replace('Fitness', '<font color="pink">Fitness</font>')
	}
	return ev
}

After.

@MMRIZE Awesome!!!

It’s awesome!!! Thank you very very much. It works perfectly.
Since I use both CalendarExt3 and CalendarExt3 Agenda, I have stored the key lines and if lines in both modules in the config.

For all-day events, the symbols are displayed in the calendar, but not in the agenda. And only for all-day events. But I don’t care. I’m happy.
Just in case you want to make an improvement here or I have made a mistake!!!

So thank you very much. I will post my project soon in the forum under “Show my Mirror” incl. all information from the config and custom.
Maybe someone will be interested… :-)
