Date display for Calendar entries to be DD MM YYYY hh:mm - currently is "In 3 days"/"In 15 hours"

@sdetweil

Thank you Sam for that but I still do not get it to do what I want.
I might be too thick.

To make sure I understand you correct?
White = upper part
Yellow = lower part

I have now tried the : format: “absolute” setting in the second part and as I understand in the manual set the date and time to show 15 May 14:25 .

Just to make sure I also commented out the two format and dateFormat lines in the upper part

What am I doing wrong then?

@sdetweil

Okay, I also changed format to timeFormat

@frits-erasmus can u chat text me the config for the calendar module…

i did this

      {
        module: "calendar",
        classes:"page1",
        header: "US Holidays",
        position: "top_left",
        config: {
          timeFormat: "absolute",
          dateFormat:"MMM, HH:mm",
          fullDayEventDateFormat: "MMM DD",
          colored:true,
          hidePrivate: true,
          fetchInterval: 120000,
          broadcastPastEvents: false,
          calendars: [
            {
              fetchInterval: 604800000,
              symbol: "calendar-check",
              color: "pink",
              url: "http://localhost:8090/modules/default/calendar/test_time_width.ics",

            },
            {
              url: "https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/en.usa%23holiday@group.v.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics",
              color:"green"
            }
          ]
        },

and got this

note that dateFormat andfullDayEventDateFormat: “MMM DD” are different settings… (one has a time, the other doesn’t) (oops no time shown, see next post)

extra spaces cause problems too … symbol:"calendar ", is NOT correct

[sdetweil]

@frits-erasmus I also changed the test cal to have time and used other properties to force absolute

      {
        module: "calendar",
        classes:"page1",
        header: "US Holidays",
        position: "top_left",
        config: {
          timeFormat: "absolute",
          dateFormat:"MMM, HH:mm",
          fullDayEventDateFormat: "MMM DD",
          colored:true,
          urgency: 0,
          getRelative: 0,
          hidePrivate: true,
          fetchInterval: 120000,
          broadcastPastEvents: false,
          calendars: [
            {
              fetchInterval: 604800000,
              symbol: "calendar-check",
              color: "pink",
              url: "http://localhost:8090/modules/default/calendar/test_time_width.ics",
              //url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/brigidspina%40gmail.com/private-065de47caae525540e8b162d9af31b3f/basic.ics"
            },
            {
              url: "https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/en.usa%23holiday@group.v.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics",
              color:"green"
            }
          ]
        },
}

My Code

                {
                        module: "calendar",

                                colored: true,
                                timeFormat: "absolute",
                                maximumEntries: 15,
                                maximumNumberOfDays: 5,

                                calendars: [
                                        {
                                                symbol: "calendar   ",
                                                color: "#37CBFF",

                                        },
                                       {

                                ]
                        }
                },

Yes - I deleted a few characters from the URLs

MMM display

I double-checked everything and cannot find the error

[sdetweil]

@frits-erasmus notice the getRelative in mine

[frits.erasmus]

@sdetweil
Thank you very much SAM - I really appreciate your help.

My understanding was that I needed to use one of the options:
the options timeFormat:“absolute”, urgency:0, getRelative:0,

Now, with hindsight, it makes sense that I should have all.

Thank you - you have taught me a lot. - now for me to tackle the next one.

My calendar:

I am going to try and fade the events that are in the past …Is that even possible? …Have to search

[sdetweil]

@frits-erasmusthe default calendar does not display events from the past, ever.

other add on modules that display a wall calendar view will do that.
