There could be some tricks like hiding day-slot when there is no event or filtering unimportant events on view… However, it needs some knowledge about JS and CSS.

1. Weird. if you are using timeFormat: "h:mm A", it will show 11:00 AM not 11 or 11AM.
   https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/Event-Time
2. In that case, just use daily view with filterPassedEvent: true
   https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/2c.-Configuration:View
3. use fromNow to skip days.
   https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/2c.-Configuration:View
4. like this?
   
   add this into your css/custom.css

.CX2 .view.upcoming .eventCount_0 .slotFooter::after {
  content: "There is no event."
}

@Sean Thanks. Got some of them working but not all.

1. I’ll keep tweaking.

2. How do I filter the events for Today’s date only in “daily view”. I see Today, Tomorrow, Tuesday, Wednesday listed in my daily view but can’t figure out how to filter that to today’s date only.
   

3. Works! :-) Thank you!

4. The suggestion about showing “There is no event” does not work. Nothing shows up. I used the same syntax as above and also tried to modify it but no luck.

Thanks

For 2. filterPassedEvent makes not loading passed events at this moment, so it will not affect to tomorrow or future days. Only today will be affected.

For 4. It will work on upcoming view. For daily view, this selector might work (not tested). Try yourself with documents.

.CX2 .view.daily .eventCount_0 .slotFooter::after

[Jas]

@Sean I just want Today’s events to show up. So that should not list Tomorrow or any other day’s events. Sorry if I wasn’t clear.
Thanks

@Jas
set slotCount: 1
https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/2c.-Configuration:View

[Jas]

@Sean Thank you so much! Yup all working now. I got the “No more events” to show up by using the following in the daily view if that helps anyone else.

.CX2 .slot.eventCount_0 .slotContent::after {
  content: "No Scheduled Meetings"
}

Thanks for the amazing work and support!

[A Former User]

@Jas
.CX2 .slot.eventCount_0 this is not only for daily view, so could be risky on other views. Anyway, if it works at this moment, don’t mind. :D

@Sean Hey Sean, not sure if you saw my last response. I updated to static with still no luck. Any ideas. I was thinking it might have to be with telling timeline the right name or something along those lines. This is my configure except dynamic switched to static. Thanks!

Hmmm… I think there is no flag about repeated events. I’ll research about it.
For filtering; See this; https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/Filtering-and-Sorting
And this also; https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/Event-Object

I haven’t seen any mention about that property in the filtering or event-object. I did browse through your parser and didn’t see any mention about repeating objects. I did Google a little further and found this function in (what I gather is) the underlying parser: http://mozilla-comm.github.io/ical.js/api/ICAL.Event.html#isRecurring

Rather proud that I did (eventually) get it to work. I added

// Check if an event is recurring and make a filterable property
      ev.isRecurring = ri.isRecurring()

around line 140 in node_helper.js and added the following filter:

filter: (event) => {
  if (event.isRecurring) {
     return false
  } else {
      return true
  }
},

to remove all recurring items from one of the views.

Last week I switched from MMM-CalendarExt to MMM-CalendarExt2 due to problems with showing full day events one day to late.
I have almost everything setup the way I would like with the custom.css, but have a few points left where I need some help with.

• Can you make the font larger for slotTitle in only “current” and “upcomming”.
• Can you make slotMaxHeight auto size in “week” and “current ”so that is always shows all events and not a +2.
• Can an event in “week” be bigger than 1 line, so no data is lost.

That’s all.

@Arjan
Well.
There are already hundreds of questions similar with this.

1. possible. See the MMM-CalendarExt2.css then find proper selector, then redefine it on your css/custom.css.
2. impossible. autosize? fit for what? How about number of events are over 100 in those views?
3. possible but not recommended. MM screen is too narrow to display week/month view with ALL DATA.

@Sean How do I remove these green underlines on current month header and current month events?

[A Former User]

@JRB1988
? In default CSS, there is no green underline. I think you’ve modified CSS or there might be a collision with other modules.

[JRB1988]

@Sean So strange. And the really weird thing is that it’s happening both on CalendarEXT and CalendarEXT2. But good to know its not supposed to be there. I’ll dig around more. Thanks!

Edit: seems to be some conflict with the Todoist Module. Thanks for the tip again, I think i would have been digging around the CSS forever trying to find what was underlining. Now to figure out why the other modules does this…

@Sean
Sorry, last question. Is there a max of 6 calendars? I have 7 and only the first 6 populate. If there is, can I up that limit?

[A Former User]

@JRB1988
There is no calendars limit. hmmm… weird. Can you share the url of calendars with me? (eouia0819@gmail.com)

[JRB1988]

@Sean I was able to find a work around for this. Essentially it was always just ignoring the last calendar for some reason so I just added a fake calendar at the end (so now the config has “eight” calendars and gives me the first seven)

[A Former User]

@JRB1988
I cannot represent your symptom, Mine works well. So I should get your config and real ical url to diagnose.

[cskenney]

@JRB1988 I can confirm that 7 calendars works fine. I wonder if you have a syntax issue on the last one in your list. You should be able to look at the log window and see each of the calendars being read and the number of entries that are selected.
