@mmrize Is there a plan for MMM-CalendarExt3 in the near future?
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

@flemmingss
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.

Hi all,
I’m not quite sure how to achive that relative time format is displayed correctly. Please notice the given picture

Where it says “in 3 Stunden” (german for in 3 hours) it should say tomorrow and where it says “in einem Tag” (german for tommorow) it should be the day after tommorrow as the event starts tomororw plus a few hours.
Any suggestion how to achive that ?

I don’t suppose there’s a dummies guide to make this work?

@ccr41981 this is one of the most complex modules. and the author does not support it anymore.

so it’s community help

@gekberlin
RelativeTime would be auto-scaled by remain period to target time from now on. So “tomorrow” is displayed as “in X hours” because after X hours the tomorrow will begin. “In 10 days” means exactly “in 10days and a few hours”
So it is not so desirable to display exact time, especially fullday events.
Use dateFormat or dateTimeFormat. See the localization part also.

RelativeTime itself is more useful when you use it to display near events in 24 hours.

@sdetweil understood, I got that from the thread. Was just hoping there was some other documentation than the main GitHub page. I don’t want to ask a bunch of annoying questions, but I could use some help.
