Calendar Additional Details - not working in 7.7

👨‍💻 Development Help
1

In 7.6 and prior versions you could change the details shown on the Calendar by populating custom/modules/Tasks/metadata/additionalDetails.php

This no longer works in 7.7

You could also view or edit the task from the calendar

Any ideas on how I can get this functionality back in 7.7?

Thanks

Anyone Know how to-do this?

The file that controls it is modules/Calendar/Cal.js but I can’t work out how to change the display in an upgrade safe way

Hi mikesolomon,

Yes the system to display additional detail have change. So now, if you want to add something to the pop-up,
It’s in Calendar.php in load_activities() function. Add what you want to be displayed with merging strings in the item name: like that

But I don’t think this is upgrade safe. But any modifications to the calendar can’t be upgrade safe.

Regards.

I’ve logged it as a bug on github so hopefully it will be fixed at some point in the future
