Is there a way to show the next month in the “month” view? I want to rotate between the current month and next month. If it can be done, is there a way to show it without having to manually filter it each month (i.e filter = currentMonth + 1 … or something like that)?

@almightyyoshi NM. I was way overthinking that. Found the “fromNow” setting.

That is not correct. If you want to get rid of the week count create a css/custom.css file, never change the main.css! And add this line
.CX2 .weeksmark {
display:none;
}

BKeyport

@marva82 My statement was functionally correct. Yeah, I forgot to use the overused “Use custom.css” mantra

(Which in this case, don’t really matter, as if you’d adjust MMM-CX2’s css stub, it’ll likely never get overwritten as the projects effectively dead)

And yes, you can remove the Week of the year with your stub.

Apparently I’m still using MMM-CalendarExt (which is archived) on my old configured MM, so I wanted to update it.
After a while with MMM-CalendarExt2 I still have an issue.

I don’t get the ‘Today’ and ‘Tomorrow’ in Dutch, also keep giving the date ‘month day’ instead of day/month.

Additional question;
I know that with following you hide the week numbers

.CX2 .weeksmark {
   display: none;
}

But how can you remove the block so that the empty space disappears.
Also how do you get less space between the ‘Today / Tomorrow / next days’
Is it possible to see the entire appointment in ‘month’ view, even on multiple lines?

hi,
these are my lines in the config.js

views: [
			{
				name: "VIEW1",
				mode: "daily",
				title: "Termine nächsten Tage",
				position: "top_center",
				locale: "de-DE",
				calendars: ["eigene Kalender eintragen"],
				slotCount: 3,
				slotTitleFormat: {
						sameDay: "[Heute]",
						nextDay: "[Morgen]",
						nextWeek: "[am] dddd",
						lastDay: "[Gestern]",
						lastWeek: "[letzte] ddd",
						sameElse: "DD.MM."
								},
			},

			],

@sarcux the doc seems to suggest where you have

sameDay: "[Heute]",

you could have the date format too

sameDay: "[Heute]  D, MMM",

you do that on lastWeek

lastWeek: "[letzte] ddd"

@sdetweil @SARCux
changed to

slotTitleFormat: {
	sameDay: "[Vandaag]",
	nextDay: "[Morgen]",
	nextWeek: "[Overmorgen]",
	},
slotSubTitleFormat: " ", // (default value is "ddd")

and give me this

(slotSubTitleFormat empty because changing date format does not work)

debaetstony

How can you make the empty spaces smaller?
I have an overlap between ‘today’ view and ‘month’ view.
Make both narrower in ‘today’ and ‘month’ view

Use daily view. Eliminates the space almost completely. Also, if I remember right, if you change the order of views in the config.js, you may be able to get month view on top of daily view, but I’m not sure about that. Sean wasn’t too clear in order of building the modules.

something else you might be interested in. If you’d like empty days to disappear in daily view:

In your config.js, under views, add the following className: "remove_empty_slot",

For example:

views: [
		{
		mode: "daily",
		position: "top_right",
		slotCount: 14,
		timeFormat:"LT",
		hideOverflow: false,
		filterPassedEvent: true,
		name: "Schedules",
		className: "remove_empty_slot",

Then in custom.css add:

.CX2 .remove_empty_slot .eventCount_0 {
  display:none;
}

Re: MMM-CalendarExt2
I am new here and am trying to get the calendar extension to work. I set it up with the basic configuation but I am getting a blank screen in Magic Mirror. Any help would be appreciated.

{
module: ‘MMM-CalendarExt2’,
config: {
calendars : [
{
url: “https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/ovb564thnod82u5c4njut98728%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics”,
},
],
views: [
{
mode: “daily”,
},
],
scenes: [
{
name: “DEFAULT”,
},
],
},
},

@pkup10 way underconfigured. Compare to mine, stripped down to it’s bare minimum.

	{
			module: "MMM-CalendarExt2", // https://github.com/MMM-CalendarExt2/MMM-CalendarExt2
			config: {
				calendars : [
					{
						url: "<URL>",
						name: "Main Calendar",
					},
				],
				views: [
					{
						mode: "daily",
						position: "top_right",
						calendars: ["Main Calendar"],				
					},
				],
				scenes: [
					{
						name: "DEFAULT",
					},
				],
			},
		},

@bkeyport actually, that might be @pkup10 's problem: he didn’t put a position item in his config. MM won’t display it without knowing where to display it.

sdetweil

@wenike that module doesn’t use the typical display approach. position is not used

BKeyport

@wenike Take a look at my barebones config above. You’ll notice the position is part of the view config not the main part. This module creates virtual positions after the main stuff is done.

Hi,

is there a way to setup a sliding week (sliding 7 days) in the calendar, means always show the actual day as the first day and then e.g. 7 days into the future ?
Currently I’m showing two weeks, but on Sundays the first week shows only gone events and is not very helpful. I rather would like to save the space for the first week by just showing only 7 days in the future. Unfortunately I was not able to figure this out by myself :crying_face: .

Many thanks for the great addon

@askedal
Weeks views purpose is that. Use Daily view with horizontal layout.

MMRIZE

@askedal
And the start day of week respects your locale. So in your country, if the week starts from Monday, adjust your locale to it.

@mmrize said in MMM-CalendarExt2:

I tried the daily view, but then saturday and sunday were missing, it showed only the working days (maybe there were no events ?)

MMRIZE

@askedal
I think you are missing some options;
They might be slotCount and fromNow.
slotCount in daily view points How many days will appear
fromNow in daily view points From which day the view begins.

So if you set daily view like this;

fromNow: -1,
slotCount: 5

It will show 5 days schedules from yesterday.

I think you probably want 7 days schedule from today. In that case, this will work; (You may need more options and CSS modifying to beautify the look of view)

{
  name: "VIEW1",
  mode: "daily",
  title: "My Schedule",
  position: "bottom_bar",
  type: "row",
  slotCount: 7,
  fromNow: 0,
  useEventTimeRelative: true,
},
