MMM-CalendarExt2

MMRIZE

@askedal
Anyway, I need to point this; The MMM-CalendarExt2 is going to die because of its unusual complexity to use and heavy dependencies of obsoleted legacy node modules. I already have archived it. I wish I can release Ext3 in near future to solve those problems.

Many thanks, it is mostly working. I have now set it like this and it is showing the next 7 days correctly.

{
            name: "Overview",
            mode: "daily",
            useEventTimeRelative: false,
            fromNow: 0,
            slotCount: 7,
            type: "row",
            position: "bottom_bar",
            calendars: [],
            dateFormat: "dd",
            slotTitleFormat: {
                sameDay: "dd",
                nextDay: "dd",
                nextWeek: "dd",
                sameElse: "",
            }
        },

But there is a lot of free space between the days, can I somehow move the days closer together so that they look more like a table and not like 7 single days ?

Many thanks for your help

@mmrize I do believe that there are some working within the code to try and figure out Sean’s work. It’s a shame he stepped back though, but I get it. even with my minor modules I’m suffering a bit of burnout and frustration for a free product.

@bkeyport @MMRIZE IS Sean!!

Will a touch screen work with MMM-CalendarExt2? For example have the current month displayed, and then be able to scroll to the next month, or months ahead like a phone calendar.

@mmrize Is there a plan for MMM-CalendarExt3 in the near future? :alien:
if so, when can it be expected?

@ge I do not think the module provides any clickable elements

typically the MM is a passive output only device, w no keyboard or mouse

none of my modules provide clickable elements

I’m trying to build a new X3 from the scratch, which will respect default MM’s behaviours, will be independent of legacy/external momentJs or other 3rd parties, will be more modular and lighter than X2 and with a few new features.
But it needs more days or weeks to release. I wish I have more dedicated time to that work. Sorry.

How can I add an image to the background of a specific slot, such as a pumpkin to October 31 or a Christmas tree to December 25. I was thinking of .slotcontent, but not sure how to filter that. Also, how would it be done for things like Hannukah, where there aren’t set days. I was also thinking of using dayofyear, but leap years would mess with that, and still wouldn’t solve Hannukah or any other shifting holidays.

Each slot may have its characteristic class name like;

slot : all slots have slot as its class name.
daily, weekly, monthly, week, month, current, upcoming : mode of view
period, agenda, weekSlot, cellSlot, timelineSlot… : types of slot.
seq_0, seq_1, … : slot sequence in view
thisyear, thismonth, thisweek, today : slot relation with today.
year_2018, month_12, week_51, day_25, weekday_6, dayofyear_361, … : You can specify slot with this class names.

So, let’s guess what these class selector in your CSS means; .slot.daily.thismonth.weekday_6. Or .slot.month_12.day_25.
After specifying the slot, you can control its header/content/footer or events inside.

.slot.daily.month_12.day_25 .slotContent {
  background-image: url( ... );
}

The non-gregorian calendar is not supported.
