Getting Started

First-Time Setup

When you open Full Calendar for the first time, you'll be prompted to add your first calendar source.

It's recommended to start with a local calendar type, as these are editable directly from the plugin.

  • Full Note Calendar: The most powerful option. Each event is a separate note in your vault.

  • Daily Note Calendar: Store events as checklist items in your daily notes, in a efficient and compact way.

Remote calendars (ICS/CalDAV) are read-only.

Tip

Use a combination for Full Note (for recurring and other detailed events) and Daily Note Calender (daily events stored compactly). Also check out Advanced Categorization and its event naming convention, to unleash the full power of this plugin and supercharge your workflow!

Opening the Calendar

You can open the main calendar view in two ways: 1. Click the Calendar icon in the Obsidian ribbon (the left-hand bar). 2. Run the command Full Calendar: Open Calendar from the command palette (Ctrl/Cmd + P).

For quick reference, you can open a more compact version of the calendar in the sidebar. Run the command Full Calendar: Open in sidebar.

Troubleshooting

If something is not working as expected, the first thing to try is resetting the event cache. - Run the command Full Calendar: Reset Event Cache.

This forces the plugin to re-read all events from all your sources. If this doesn't fix the problem, please submit an issue on GitHub.
