2.32.0 Calendar module limitDays and excludedEvents stopped working
-
@sdetweil yeah that’s what I was using limitDays for and it was working great for my needs until now - I have my kids school lessons synced to a google calendar, and setting limitDays to 1 used to show the full set of lessons for the day. When they get home from school (all events from the current day are in the past), it automatically showed all of the lessons for the following day. Best thing I’ve ever used MM for! Even highlights PE lessons so they know when to bring kit :)
For me now, limitDays: 1 just shows the single next event even when there are 6 more events on that day (and if that event is ‘Tutor time’, it displays when it should be hidden).
I can’t say exactly what version I was on prior to the update but it should have been whatever the previous version was - since I set this up with watchtower in docker I’ve not had to do any manual upgrades.
Here’s my anonamised calendar config - I have 5 different calendar modules running if that’s likely to be a factor, but this is one that has the config issues:
{ module: 'calendar', header: 'School day', position: 'bottom_right', config: { coloredSymbol: true, coloredText: true, showLocation: true, displaySymbol: false, hideTime: true, tableClass: 'medium', flipDateHeaderTitle: true, fade: false, timeFormat: 'absolute', dateFormat: 'ddd', fullDayEventDateFormat: 'ddd', urgency: '0', sliceMultiDayEvents: true, nextDaysRelative: false, limitDays: 1, fetchInterval: '600000', displayRepeatingCountTitle: true, wrapEvents: false, //maxTitleLength: 30, customEvents: [{ keyword: 'Physical Education', symbol: 'volleyball', color: 'Gold' }], excludedEvents: [ 'Tutor time' ], calendars: [ { symbol: 'graduation-cap', url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/REDACTED/basic.ics' } ] } }, -
@AndyHazz Do you mind sharing your ICS, anonymized off course.

@AndyHazz found it…
comparing date AND TIME oops…
edit modules/default/calendar/calendar.js
approx line 708
change the lines marked below with //if (this.config.limitDays > 0) { let newEvents = []; let lastDate = today.clone().subtract(1, "days").startOf('day'); // add .startOf('day'), note dot let days = 0; for (const ev of events) { let eventDate = this.timestampToMoment(ev.startDate).startOf('day'); // add .startOf('day'), note dot -
@sdetweil nice! Yes that’s fixed the limitDays issue for me …
Now, how about part 2 of my issue, the excludedEvents config? The first event showing for me is titled ‘Tutor time’ despite that string being excluded. I’ve tried other terms with/without spaces and nothing seems to work to exclude events any more?

@AndyHazz working on it

@AndyHazz ok, got it too… this one looks like a javascript difference in scopes…
I added the Log.debug lines, they are not important
modules/default/calendar/calendarfetcherutils.js , starting line 18 (4 changes total)
see // change this lineshouldEventBeExcluded (config, title) { let result = { // change this line excluded: false, until: null }; for (let f in config.excludedEvents) { let filter = config.excludedEvents[f], // this line uses the same variable name, filter, now we have two, testTitle = title.toLowerCase(), until = null, useRegex = false, regexFlags = "g"; if (filter instanceof Object) { if (typeof filter.until !== "undefined") { until = filter.until; } if (typeof filter.regex !== "undefined") { useRegex = filter.regex; } // If additional advanced filtering is added in, this section // must remain last as we overwrite the filter object with the // filterBy string if (filter.caseSensitive) { filter = filter.filterBy; testTitle = title; } else if (useRegex) { filter = filter.filterBy; testTitle = title; regexFlags += "i"; } else { filter = filter.filterBy.toLowerCase(); } } else { filter = filter.toLowerCase(); } Log.debug("should be excluded ", testTitle, filter, useRegex, regexFlags) if (CalendarFetcherUtils.titleFilterApplies(testTitle, filter, useRegex, regexFlags)) { if (until) { result.until = until; // change this line } else { Log.debug("event should be excluded = true,", testTitle ) result.excluded = true; // change this line } Log.debug("filter applies result =", result) break; } } Log.debug("filter applies returning =", result) return result; // change this line }, -
@sdetweil perhaps I’m missing something, but that’s not working for me - it’s made no difference, excluded events are still appearing … I’ve double checked and can’t spot anything amiss, I’ve made the 4 changes from ‘filter’ to ‘result’?

@AndyHazz hm…
my config parm for excluded EventsI added one event for saturday… without excluded it shows, with excluded it doesn’t
excludedEvents: [ 'Birthday' ],I checked the changed lines and only see those 4

@sdetweil yep that’s what I’ve got, copying below in case I’m missing something …
I’ve also added your debug messages back in and changed Log.debug to console.log (as I still can’t get any debug logs from docker but I do get console.log messages from other modules) but nothing comes out in the console log - seems odd that all these changes have had zero effect, am I missing something that might be needed to get these changes to kick in?

TODO This seems like an overly complicated way to exclude events based on the title. -
@AndyHazz note that the excluded events is an ARRAY (so for loop to look thru them )
test ALL til find one that is true (CalendarFetcherUtils.titleFilterApplies returns true) , or notAND the item in the array can be an object with more specific controls, or a string
MM doc entries on separate lines
[ 'Birthday', // text 'Hide This Event', // text {filterBy: 'Payment', until: '6 days', caseSensitive: true}, // complex, but text {filterBy: '^[0-9]{1,}.*', regex: true} // complex, uses regex ]AND the list/array can be a MIX of those things,
and the string test is the test string is SOMEWHERE in the title, doesn’t have to BE the entire title
