Default Calendar module // request to show events only if start date > today + 2 days

No you did not miss anything in my code i just misinterpreted your question. Sorry for that here is another idea that could work. Maybe the continue statement will help you to skip the 2 first entries of the calendar. You will need to change the module code for that to work.

@ganget
no problem. thanks for the idea.
I was thinking about modifying the module code to change “today’s” date into “today’s date +2” but can’t yet figure out how too.

the existing code is.

	if (event.startDate >= new Date()) {

and ideas on how to add days to today or whatever

Hi again, I just tried by modifying the createEventList “today” and “now” variable, but it didn’t work…

createEventList: function () {
		var events = [];
		var someDate = new Date();
		var numberOfDaysToAdd = 6;
		someDate.setDate(someDate.getDate() + numberOfDaysToAdd);
		var today = moment(someDate).startOf("day");
		var now = someDate;
		for (var c in this.calendarData) {

@bolish close…

the existing loop takes ALL events, just checking to see if each event is TODAY (sets a flag)

to eliminate them you need one more test (in addition to the rest of your code above)

		var someDate = new Date();
		var numberOfDaysToAdd = 6;
		someDate.setDate(someDate.getDate() + numberOfDaysToAdd);
		var today = moment(someDate).startOf("day");
	//var today = moment().startOf("day");
		for (var c in this.calendarData) {
			var calendar = this.calendarData[c];
			for (var e in calendar) {
				var event = calendar[e];
                                 // if event happens further away than x number of days (6 in this sample)
				if(event.startDate>= today) {    < ------
					if(this.config.hidePrivate) {
						if(event.class === "PRIVATE") {
							  // do not add the current event, skip it
							  continue;
						}
					}
					event.url = c;
					event.today = event.startDate >= today && event.startDate < (today + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
					events.push(event);
				}
			}
		}

Works like a charm.
Thank you very much, I’ve learnt something thanks to you and appreciated your support for debug.
See you around.
