      if i understand all correct so i need to change in my case not “dateEndFormat” … i need to change “dateFormat: “MMM Do”,” or “fullDayEventDateFormat: “MMM Do”,” to change the name of the week to a shorter version, correct?

      but what means “MMM Do” ? i cant see on both site this format … and if i see this correct, the cell contais dateFormat + dateEndFormat = MMM Do + LT, or iam wrong?

        @skyzuma if you read the formatting options link i provided in the last post, you would see

        the MMM means the 3 letter english month name

          thats correct but i need ONLY a short day name for an event with an time. the next event is “Friday at 15:30” … but i need “Fri at 15:30” - its “ddd” - but where i set this? i cant change “dateFormat” or “dateEndFormat” that will change ALL i think

          MMM Do is important for evnets in a few weeks / month like “May 14th”
          LT is ONLY the time on an event on a day

          i think this cant change in the config.js … i think this need to be changed in the source code or maybe as an option, idk …

              @skyzuma show the config.js settings for calendar, xxx out the url but dont change anything else

              there are 3 format

              dateFormat is the event START date/time, when NOT a full day event
              dateEndFormat is event END date/time, when NOT a full day event
              fullDateFormat is for the date when the event IS a full date event (has no time)

              spelling case matters. mm is case sensitive

                  yes, only variables defined in the defaults section of the modulename.js are addressable and over-ridable via config.js
