Hello everyone,
I'm working on an application with a calendar as the main focus, with a bunch of custom Javascript to customize it. We're doing a big upgrade of the app and as part of that we're changing the deprecated FullCalendar 3 to FullCalendar 5. Most of the changes have been dealt with but I'm stuck on 2 issues that I was wondering if anybody could help with:
1. The main issue I have is that event start and end times don't display on the events anymore. According to the FullCalendar 5 documentation that should be adjustable with the 'displayEventTime' and 'displayEventEnd' options. I've set both to true in our custom javascript configuration of the calendar but it doesn't change anything. I've also tried setting these attributes on the events themselves before they're rendered but that doesn't work either. I could add the times to the title myself, but then they would show up twice in the tooltip so that's not ideal. I haven't been able to find a single example of a FullCalendar 5 in APEX (like in the sample calendar app) where the event times are shown, so is this even possible?
2. When I hover over an event the tooltip displays the supplemental information you can define in page designer, but above that it also shows the event title, date and times. However the date format for the new calendar has changed from a more user friendly format to YYYY-MM-DD and I can't seem to find any way (in APEX or via Javascript) to define the dateformat to be used here. Again, also in the examples in the sample calendar app this YYYY-MM-DD date format is used. Does anybody know if this is customizable?
Here's a comparison of both the event display (time and title vs title only) and tooltip in both versions of FullCalendar:
If anybody knows how to change these things I would love to hear it. If these options are for some reason not available I'd like to make a request to add these options to APEX but I don't know if this is the right place for such a request.
Thanks,
Daniel
