Cal EXT3 - Symbols and colors

sdetweil

Yes, really that simple

eventTransformer: (ev) => {
  if (ev.title.search("John") > -1) {
          ev.symbol= "WHAT TO PUT HERE";
          ev.color= ‘blue’
  }
  return ev;
};

When using the font-awesome set,
They give you a name or a number, you can use either value
I dont know the set you picked

Fa house is ‘house’ or ‘\f015’

@sdetweil Hey Sam
As soon as I try to use symbol, the calender wont load up - I see the current month but thats about it.
I tried different icon, I tried changing only symbol and I tried putting up a transform command for color and symbol seperately

eventTransformer: (ev) => {
if (ev.title.search("Geburtstag") > -1)
ev.symbol= "mdi:birthday-cake-outline";
ev.color= "ff00ff";
return ev
 },

I also tried your version with the additional {}, but no change either way
I put this into the ext3 config file, using iconify icons

sdetweil

@_V_ if you want to set multiple properties on this event when the if condition is true

the you need { }
after the if()

otherwise only the first is used when the condition is true…

you would have to open the browser developers window to see what the problem is
ctrl-shift-i (chrome)
console tab,
put ext3 in the filter field.

@sdetweil I finally understood what you meant by put in filter…^^

So I set the additional {} and the cal stopped again, message saing:

TypeError: event.symbol.join is not a function

Does this give you any clue or do you need the additional “at …” lines too?

sdetweil

@_V_ ok, symbol is a list…

use
ev.symbol.push( “mdi:birthday-cake-outline”)

instead of
ev.symbol=

_V_

@sdetweil OK no error, color is shown but no symbol.
Did I miss some basic setting in the modules config?

sdetweil

@_V_ sorry, don’t know about that icon library…

can you try one of the FA values…

"\f015"

for example

_V_

@sdetweil Tried, no change.

Does it matter, where in the ext3 config it is placed, like at the end for example?

sdetweil

@_V_ the filter/transformer is INSIDE the Ext3 config:{} block…

{
module: "MMM_CalendarExt3",
position:
config:{
   .
.
.
.
  eventTransformer: (ev) => {
        if (ev.title.search("John") > -1){
              ev.symbol= "\f015";
             ev.color= "blue";
        }
        return ev
   },
 }
},

So I put it in the ext3 block but that didnt change anything.
I set “useIconify: false” to check if the fontawesome would work, but nothing too.

Also I wonder why I nowhere read about the ev.symbol error in any of the topics :/
