Default Calender-absolute Date

[Les]

I’m also having the same problem of absolute/relative dates. From the config file if it helps to troubleshoot…

           {
                    module: 'calendar',
                    header: 'Calendar',
                    position: 'top_left',
                    config: {
                            maximumEntries: '6',
                            calendars: [
                                    {
                                            symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
                                            url: 'https://calendar.google.com....',
                                            fade: 'false',
                                            timeFormat: 'absolute'
                                    }
                            ]
                    }

Hi,

I’m new to this MM but I had the same problem. The solution is placing the timeFormat: ‘absolute’ parameter before the "calendars: [ " line.

I hope this helps.

Also the urgency variable. Default is set to 7 days, so only those items after 7 days are displayed in absolute. So I set my to 3 days, anything after that shows up as it should. So SimJim, you may want to check that variable. Even set it to 1 for testing :)

I can’t get absolute dates working. Here’s the relevant part of my calandar.js file.

Anyone have any ideas?

Module.register(“calendar”,{

// Define module defaults
defaults: {
	maximumEntries: 10, // Total Maximum Entries
	maximumNumberOfDays: 365,
	displaySymbol: true,
	defaultSymbol: "calendar", // Fontawesome Symbol see http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/
	displayRepeatingCountTitle: false,
	defaultRepeatingCountTitle: '',
	maxTitleLength: 15,
	fetchInterval: 5 * 60 * 1000, // Update every 5 minutes.
	animationSpeed: 2000,
	fade: false,
	urgency: 0,
	timeFormat: "absolute",
	fadePoint: 0.25, // Start on 1/4th of the list.
	calendars: [
		{
			symbol: "calendar",
			url: "http://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics",
		},
	],

Just a note for others (adding as i work out the system), to change the feed for dates (holidays) from the default list of 10, just open up Calandar.js and

	maximumEntries: 10, // Total Maximum Entries

Update that to the appropriate days… i.e

maximumEntries: 4, // Total Maximum Entries
and to change colours add to Custom CSS
}
.calendar .symbol {
color: yellow;
}
.calendar .time {
color: red;
}

Paste your config.js entry for the calendar module here, using this guide:

I followed @paulocarrasco suggestion and it worked!

Here is the code

{
                        module: "calendar",
                        header: "US Holidays",
                        position: "top_left",
                        config: {
                                timeFormat: "absolute",
                                calendars: [
                                        {
                                                symbol: "calendar-check-o ",
                                                url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics"
                                        }
                                ]
                        }
                },

I just checked my module, I have timeFormat: ‘absolute’,
So not: “absolute”
I hope this makes the difference!
