Dashticz Calendar - Features, Fixes & Updates

[Lokonli]

@Lokonli Due to Covid-19 my calendars are now empty. Is it possible to have a custom message of in the calendar block when it’s empty?
If not, can that option be added?
Thanks again.

Implemented in latest beta.

You can set a custom text via the block parameter 'emptytext'

Only implemented in the new calendar block (type: 'calendar')

Thanks. Didn't expect the addition that soon. I'm trying to add a text, but I still got an empty block (except the icon).
This is the code I'm using. Am I missing something?:

Code: Select all

calendars.concerts = {
	type: 'calendar',
	layout: 0,
	startonly: true,
	maxitems: 5,
	emptytext: 'No upcoming concerts or festivals',
	image: '../custom/img/rock.svg',
	icalurl: 'http://192.168.2.14:3000/kalenders/concerts.ics',
}

It’s working on my iPad. I think I have to clean my cache

When using the url parameter to load a page I got a message in the popup frame that loading the page is not allowed. Is it possible to load in a new window like the parameter newwindow for a normal block?

@Lokonli If you have an all day calender (for example a birthday calender) and you don't want the time table data cell you have to do that by add code to config.css:

Code: Select all

[data-id='calendar_id'] .agenda-time,
    display: none;
}

Another layout option without the time table data cell would be great.
Thanks in advance.

the block of an public iCloud calendar shows events from the past. Even when maxitems is set to 1.

does anyone knows how to fix this?

Hi HansieNL
Your calendar is working great on my side, and I have a few questions:
- is it possible to have only the titles in bold like the old calendar?
- on my side, the google calendar is displayed slowly only after a few sec, is there a reason?
- I wanted to use a popup and display a calendar layout=2 in full screen, but cause it is very long to load, I abandoned it

Here is my code:

Spoiler: show

blocks['calendrier_Google'] = { type: 'calendar', layout: 1, maxitems: 7, color: 'blue', emptytext: '-',
icalurl: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ic ... /basic.ics',
holidayurl: 'https://.../scolar-calendar.ics',
icon: '', dateFormat: 'dd D.MM', startonly: true, lastweek: false, isoweek: true, width: 12 }

Thx for your help

For the only the titles in bold you can add the following code to your custom.css:

Code: Select all

.calendar .agenda-title {
	font-weight: bold !important; 
}

Can download your google calendar .ics and try to load it local?

[TroisSix]

Thanks HansieNL for the css part, it was so simple

For the loading in local I put the file in /home/pi/dashticz/ical/
Then in config.js I call it with

Code: Select all

icalurl: 'http://127.0.0.1/dashticz/ical/basic.ics'

And yes it is loaded twice faster, it takes 3-4 secs to be displayed in local instead of 7-8secs from the web
Is there a way to reduce the content of this file in order to get it faster? cause I only take the next 7 items, and I think it downloads the whole agenda?

edit: tested with 127.0.0.1 but is there a way to point on /home/pi/dashticz/ical.basic.ics ?

Its been awhile but i started my dashticz hobby again and i have a problem with the new way of the calendar.

Hi,
Could it be possible to personalize the name "entire day" by something specific?
Cause it certain language, it can be very long
Thanks

I got the same problem with my calendars.
I added the parameter lastweek: false to my calendar block and the problem seems to be solved.

Hi guys

Thanks for the GREAT wokr V3...
Did have time and wil give dashicz a other try so...
See nice new stuf..

Perhaps for the calendar part.
When tab on the calandar.
Open a new windowand then a option to choose. num 1 or 2 or 3 etc. [ like some other blocks has ]
Adjustable for size and color etc.

Looks a great feature for the smal screens so you kan save spade onyour dash, and when you wil see the detais
tab on the calendar part.

I have a small issue with the calendar functionality. Everything works fine except my training scheme does not show the work-out of that day. I suspect that the time indication, or the lack of it (00:00 -00:00), is the reason as it is in the past as soon as the day starts.. Is there a work around that items without a time indication are shown until end of day instead of beginning of day?

Thanks in advance.

Can you mark the work-out as a full day event? Then it will probably show.

In the mean I will check whether I can reproduce the problem.

I've created some test events in my google calendar from 0:00 - 0:00 (0 minutes). They display just fine.
Can you send me your ical file, or an url, then I'll check your file as well. You can do it by PM.

What is your Dashticz version? You could try latest beta.

[mwehrens]

Thanks for the help.. I'm on V3.8.0.2 master branch. As newby I'm not allowed to PM you. (Feels weird to write that down...) Does the ICS file contain 'personal information'? I can not see anything specific but it contains a UID, so iḿ a bit hesitant to post it here.. I will try to create all day events and see what happens.

I clipped some information out of the ICS files:

Spoiler: show

** Original event as in garmin ICS file)

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTAMP:20211009T152457Z
SUMMARY:FTP TEST
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20211009

Look at the DTSTART of the last item. It shifted to GMT+0 zone. (I entered: 20211009T000000Z) and is also not shown in dashticz

[mwehrens]

I solved this issue by pointing directly to the training peaks calendar. At first, Training Peaks updated my Garmin Calendar which I imported in Google. This google calendar was than accessed by dashticz. I cut out all the 'middleman', and everything goes smoothly..
