CalendarExt3 colour custom Css for specific name.

[bradley1982]

Hi all,

looking for some help please as really struggling to get the mirror to show different events in people names to show a different colour.

I have one calendar linked to the mirror and looking to set up the calendar has a name in the title that the text is a different colour however can’t for the life of me figure it out via the various forums etc.

This is my config set up:

		{
			module: "calendar",
			header: "Bradley Family",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
						fetchInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
						symbol: "calendar-check",
						url: "
					}
				]
			}
		},
		{
  module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
  position: "fullscreen_below",
},

I have tried various under custom ccs by none coming through:

.CX3 .event[data-calendar-name=“Evie”] {
color: #FF0000;
}

.CX3 .eventTransformer: (ev) => {
if (ev.title.search(‘Evie’) > -1) ev.color = ‘#FF0000’
return ev
}

.CX3 .event .eventTransformer: (ev) => {
if (ev.title.search(‘Liam’) > -1) ev.color = ‘#FF0000’
return ev
}

.CX3 .event .eventTransformer: (ev) => {
if (ev.title.search(‘Liam’) > -1) ev.color = ‘#FF0000’
}
return ev

Any ideas? not great with this so all help appreciated!

@bradley1982 from the transformer you must ALWAYS return the event (ev) even if you didn’t modify it

.CX3 .event .eventTransformer: (ev) => {  // this transformer runs, but never returns the event called on
if (ev.title.search(‘Liam’) > -1) ev.color = ‘#FF0000’
}
return ev   //<---- this is outside the transformer, and doesn't do anything
needs to be inside the braces

data-calendar-name="Evie"

you didn’t name the calendar entry in the default calendar
where to url is add

    name: "Evie",

@bradley1982 said in CalendarExt3 colour custom Css for specific name.:

.CX3 .eventTransformer: (ev) => {
if (ev.title.search(‘Evie’) > -1) ev.color = ‘#FF0000’
return ev
}

It is totally wrong. You tried to use JS in the CSS. nonsense.

.CX3 .event[data-calendar-name=“Evie”] {
color: #FF0000;
}

When you want to select the event by calendar name, you should specify the name of the target in your calendar module’s config. It makes sense when you have several calendars and need to distinguish each calendars by its name.

{
	module: "calendar",
	header: "Bradley Family",
	position: "top_left",
	config: {
		calendars: [
			{
				symbol: "calendar-check",
				url: "...",
				name: "Evie", // <== Like this.
			}
		]
	}
},

But what I guess is, you may have some events in ONE calendar, so want to distinguish by its partial string of the title.

/* in your config.js */
{
	module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
	position: "bottom_bar",
	config: {
		eventTransformer: (ev) => {
			if (ev.title.search('Test') > -1) {
				ev.class = 'test'
			}
			return ev
		},
	}
},

/* in your css/custom.css */
.CX3 .event.test {
  color: red;
}

@MMRIZE hi thanks so much!!!

[MMRIZE]

@bradley1982

/* in your module config of CX3 */
eventTransformer: (ev) => {
  if (ev.title.search('Tom') > -1) ev.class = 'tom'
  if (ev.title.search('John') > -1) ev.class = 'john'
  return ev
},

/* css/custom.css */
.CX3 .event.tom {
  color: blue;
}
.CX3 .event.john {
  color: green;
}
