Calendar CustomEvents

[daportelli]

Hi,

I am trying to update the text in the customEvents section of the default calendar using a transform, but I am unable to make it work. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

{keyword: 'Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs', transform: { search: 'Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs', replace: 'Bulldogs'},
{keyword: 'Spotify', transform: { search: 'Spotify', replace: 'Music'}},

Thanks
David

Here is the full module config, everything else works. I cannot figure this out. Thanks for the assist.

@daportelli I won’t be able to get to looking at this til late today

Can you use an online regex tester on you regex and data

Like

(?i)Spotify\s*$

this didn’t work for my tests, find any title with the word Spotify in it, and change it to only Music

this works (I use https://regex101.com/ to test my regex’s)

search: '^.*\b(Spotify)\b.*$', replace:'Music'

on the other… do you know that the space looking thing between is actually presented as a space?

open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, go to the sources tab, navigate the left pane
to the modules/default/calendar, select calendar.js

put a stop on the line in the listed in this image (click the line number),
press ctrl-r to refresh the page,
code will stop there, move the mouse over the word calendarData
it will popup the box, mouse up to click the list,
and it will expand, scroll to find the event, and click to expand it to look at the text…

Sorry for the delayed response. Work and life got in the way. I went to the regex tester and used the example from the calendar config for customEvents {keyword: ‘in Hamburg’, transform: { search: ’ in Hamburg$’ , replace: ‘’}} and I could not make it work as per the example in the documentation.

I also tried the other checker with a simplier transform.

I am struggling to understand what I am doing wrong.

Your help is appreciated.

The ‘Regular Expression’ is your ‘search’ from the config line, hence ‘in Hamburg$’.
The ‘Replacement Pattern’ is your ‘Replace’ from the config line, hence ‘’ (nothing)
The ‘Test String’ is what is triggered by your ‘keyword’ so in this case ‘Geburtstag in Hamburg’ will trigger the search and replace.

So, fill in:
Regular Expression: in Hamburg$
Test String: Geburtstag in Hamburg
Replacement Pattern: ‘’

Then your Match will be ‘in Hamburg’ and your Highlighted will be ‘Geburtstag’ (that what remains white).

For testing search & replace on https://regex101.com, you will need to choose Function - Substitution on the left side.

Regular Expression: .in.Hamburg$
Test String: Geburtstag in Hamburg
Substitution:
This will result in: Geburtstag

This will only match on ‘in Hamburg’, so to make it more flexible you will need to make use of so called grouping:
Regular Expression: (Geburtstag).+$
Substitution: $1
This will result in: Geburtstag

Thanks for explaining this in a language I can understand. I got that to work.

In my calendar I have “amex” typed in lower case and I want the transform it to upper “AMEX” to show this works.

However when I use the below code on a calendar event that only has an event titled ‘amex’ in lower case does not work.

{keyword: 'amex', transform: { search: 'amex', replace: 'AMEX'}},

This simple thing is confusing me. I have removed all variables, and it still does not work.

Thanks again for everyone help.
