Lessons Plugin

The lessons plugin shows lesson changes as a list. It is best if you mainly care about substitutions, cancellations, moved lessons, and other irregular timetable entries.

Enable The Plugin

Simple activation via displayMode:

displayMode: 'lessons'

Canonical activation via plugins.lessons:

plugins: {
  lessons: {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      nextDays: 2,
    },
  },
}

The old top-level namespace lessons: { ... } is still accepted for compatibility, but plugins.lessons.config is the canonical form.

All Configuration Options

Option	Type / Values	Default	Effect
nextDays	number >= 0	2	How many future days are shown after today
pastDays	number >= 0	0	How many previous visible days are shown before today
previewNext	boolean	false	Once today has nothing left to show, the list rolls over to the next school day (see below)
previewFrom	"HH:MM" or ""	""	Earliest time for that rollover on a school day; empty means right after the last entry of the day
dateFormat	string	EEE	Date label format for each lesson day
hideWeekends	boolean	false	Hides weekend rows unless that weekend day actually contains lessons
showStartTime	boolean	false	Shows clock times like 08:15 instead of period labels
showRegular	boolean	false	Also shows normal, unchanged lessons instead of mostly focusing on irregular ones
useShortSubject	boolean	false	Uses the short subject label when both short and long names exist
showTeacherMode	off, initial, full	full	Controls teacher display: hidden, initials, or full name
showRoom	boolean	false	Appends room information to each lesson row
showSubstitution	boolean	false	Adds substitution text below the lesson when available
naText	string	N/A	Fallback text when a changed field exists but no replacement value is available

Notes On Behavior

• With showRegular: false, the plugin mainly shows irregular entries such as substitutions, cancellations, and visible changes.
• Past lessons are hidden in normal operation. If logLevel is debug, past entries stay visible for troubleshooting.
• If showStartTime is false, the plugin uses timetable period labels when the backend provides time-unit data.
• hideWeekends only removes empty weekend days. Weekend days with lessons still appear.
• previewNext replaces today with the next school day once today has nothing left to show: every entry the list would show has started, or today is a weekend or holiday day. The next school day skips weekends and holidays (up to three weeks ahead, longer breaks get no preview); nextDays then counts from that day, pastDays still from today. The header says "preview", preview rows carry the CSS class lesson-preview, and a preview day without changes shows "no changes". With showRegular: false a school day without any change rolls over right away in the morning; set previewFrom (e.g. '14:00') to keep today until then. previewFrom does not apply on weekends and holidays.
• Lessons can be hidden with excludeLessons (this also hides homework and exams of the same subject) and own lessons added with addLessons, see Hiding and Adding Lessons.

Typical Config

plugins: {
  lessons: {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      nextDays: 3,
      pastDays: 1,
      dateFormat: 'EEEE dd.MM.',
      hideWeekends: true,
      previewNext: true,
      previewFrom: '13:00',
      showStartTime: true,
      showTeacherMode: 'initial',
      showRoom: true,
      showSubstitution: true,
    },
  },
}

Per-Student Override Example

students: [
  {
    title: 'Alice',
    qrcode: 'untis://...',
    plugins: {
      lessons: {
        config: {
          nextDays: 5,
          showTeacherMode: 'off',
        },
      },
    },
  },
]
