Calendar is condensed

[MechEng70]

The output file has a condensed calendar, incorrectly formatted calendar and missing date at the top of the daily pages.

rm2.mos.default.dailycal.log

rm2.mos.default.dailycal.pdf

rm2.mos.default.dailycal.out.log

Would appreciate any insight in the issue.

Running this on a macbook air.

Hi @MechEng70! Can you please put more info on what you're doing? Are you getting a bad planner after the clean clone, or did you do any modifications?

[MechEng70]

Absolutely..

I am trying to change the time on each of the daily, to start a 0600 and go to 1800.

Here is my command:

PLANNER_YEAR=2023 PASSES=1 CFG="cfg/rm2.base.yaml,cfg/template_months_on_side.yaml,cfg/rm2.mos.default.dailycal.yaml" NAME="rm2.mos.dailycal.default" ./single.sh

Attached is the one file I changed. (I added .txt to upload it :) )

rm2.mos.default.dailycal.yaml.txt

[MechEng70]

did a little digging and there were comments about the xcolor package.. so currently updating all the packages with the TexLive app on MacOS. Will let you know if it succeeds.

[MechEng70]

Did not work as I expected.

Getting 40678 of these types of xcolor errors, not sure if they are related to the condensed calendar. Have also noticed that the month/quarter bar on the left sometimes when compiled shifts to the right.

 ./out/weekly.tex:4527: Package xcolor Error: Undefined color `'.

See the xcolor package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.

[MechEng70]

Any ideas?

[kudrykv]

Hey Thanks for the wait Let's try digging step by step

First, did you try compiling whatever was in the repo from the beginning? That would help eliminating a problem of something missing in the system

[kudrykv]

I mean, I would expect that the change of two fields, remaining everything else as-is, has to compile. If it doesn't, something is likely to be outdated

How did you install LaTeX and which version do you have?

[MechEng70]

no idea why changing just the two have such a profound effect...

I am out of the house for the next 10 hours. will try to do this when I return or see if I can ssh into my ubuntu server and try it on that platform. Thanks

[MechEng70]

Before pulling down everything, ran the code on the main page and it produced a pdf without any obvious calendar compression. Using Github desktop, I identified the one file that had the 8 changed to 6 and 20 to 18. Replaced that file and ran the code:

PLANNER_YEAR=2023 PASSES=1 CFG="cfg/rm2.base.yaml,cfg/template_months_on_side.yaml,cfg/rm2.mos.default.dailycal.yaml" NAME="rm2.mos.dailycal.06001800" ./single.sh

And the calendars are compressed.

[kudrykv]

You need 2 passes for MOS planners. Please, try running again

[MechEng70]

Will do in the morning. Thank you.

[MechEng70]

Did run the rm2 code twice and it didn't produce anything different from the image above. This seems to only happen with the rm2 cfg files.

[MechEng70]

Noticed that if the following was added to the rm2.base.yaml:

colors: gray: gray lightgray: gray!50

Changed this line: quarterlyspring: \textcolor{white}{..}

quarterlyspring: \textcolor{white}{.}. <- removed one of the dots.

There are less xcolor errors. Ran the command twice. attached the logs and pdf. rm2.mos.default.dailycal.log rm2.mos.default.dailycal.pdf

I imagine something must be outdated.

That's on main branch. And here are PDFs I get for this config entry:

[kudrykv]

Oh. Also, another possible source of issue: You're saying that you are specifying the config as CFG="cfg/rm2.base.yaml,cfg/template_months_on_side.yaml,cfg/rm2.mos.default.dailycal.yaml". As the repo works today (which I hope to change in the future ¯\_(ツ)_\/¯), is that it takes all the configurations from the list, merging right values to left values. So, as you dropped the cfg/base.yaml, you've lost a bunch of configs

[MechEng70]

The last comment solved the issue with the calendars. SW version are the same.

How do I have lines in the notes section of the daily? and thank you for walking me through this.

[MechEng70]

also, where would you put the cfg/base.yaml in the line above? I have tried it before and after the first config. the challenge is that now the calendar is not compressed but shifted to the next line.

I will play around with the order today

rm2.mos.dailycal.2023.pdf

[MechEng70]

I have everything working with the following code: PLANNER_YEAR=2023 PASSES=1 CFG="cfg/base.yaml,cfg/template_months_on_side.yaml,cfg/rm2.mos.default.dailycal.yaml,cfg/rm2.base.yaml" NAME="rm2.mos.dailycal.0618.0627.2023" ./single.sh

The configuration files have is so that the time is from 0600 to 1800 and there are 06 todos and 27 lines for notes. The only thing I would like to change is the calendar starting on Sunday (american thing :) )

Appreciate all the help. I have been running it twice and been successful. Would changing PASSES=1 to PASSES=2 accomplish the same thing?

[kudrykv]

I have been running it twice and been successful. Would changing PASSES=1 to PASSES=2 accomplish the same thing?

Yes. There is a loop, that runs PDF generation PASSES number of times.

I would like to change is the calendar starting on Sunday

In base.yaml, change the weekstart: 1 to weekstart: 0 (0 is Sunday, 1 is Monday, 2 is Tuesday, ...)

Appreciate all the help

❤️

[kudrykv]

How do I have lines in the notes section of the daily?

The dotted/lined is planner-wide, not only the daily pages. For it, change the dotted: true to dotted: false in the base.yaml

[kudrykv]

tl;dr other way of running it. May be not needed.

---

where would you put the cfg/base.yaml in the line above?

Not sure what you mean. The value to the right overwrites the value to the left. You could even have a single YAML file if you merge all configs into one file. The many configuration files are my embarrassing way to lower the duplication there.

How do I have lines in the notes section of the daily?

Again, the config of the main branch is far from ideal, so bear with me. Open the release.sh and within configurations array, remove or comment lines that you don't need:

Edit years for which you want to generate the planner:

Then, in the same file more lines below, there is another config: dotted/lined, Sunday/Monday, AMPM/2400. Comment out or remove all lines that you don't need. Only one should be left.

Now, run the ./release.sh. It'll generate the planner for you into the pile directory

[MechEng70]

Perfect! Thank you.
