In the following sections all the available options.
Personalization edit
You can change the text of the blue Add Event! button with:
{{Cronos list|add_button_text = Add Meeting! }}
You can even hide it with:
{{Cronos list|add_button = no }}
Filter by interests edit
You can choose to display just the events under your interests using the tags
argument.
For example, to only show announces about an hackathon or a meetup, you may try:
{{Cronos list|tags = hackathon, meetup }}
If you cannot see anything, maybe there is not any Event associated to that Tag.
It's up to the Event creators to be kind and always put some useful tags to their Event.
Anyway, everyone can contribute to the Event page to add some reasonable Tags.
Next/Previous month edit
You can display future or past months using the month_shift
argument.
Examples:
{{Cronos list|month_shift = -1 }}
{{Cronos list|month_shift = 1 }}
Monday/Sunday preference edit
As default the calendar starts from Monday, but you may want to disable this behavior to start from Sunday.
Example:
{{Cronos list|start_from_monday = 1 }}
{{Cronos list|start_from_monday = 0 }}
Show more days edit
You can change how much days (expressed in number of weeks) are displayed in the calendar.
For example:
{{Cronos list|weeks = 10 }}
Please be kind with the environment and do not try to request too much days. A low number will mean that the page generation will be very cheap.
Style edit
Actually the style is handled by Template:Cronos month/Head/style.css.
