Oh my! I know what it’s like, COVID finally got me during the last NaNoWriMo, and at the beginning of this year I had a hard time for months.
So let’s think about it once again:
- We need named Zodiac years, but the only way Aeon displays years is by numbering.
- A way to enter names into the calendar is provided by the Aeon eras.
- So we define Aeon eras, one for each Zodiac year.
- Each Aeon era has one Aeon year.
- The Aeon year is automatically named “1”.
- The corresponding Zodiac year is represented by the Aeon era’s name.
All clear until then?
Next, we need 12-year Zodiac eras. The trick is, to simply include their names with the Zodiac years’ names so that they appear in the calendar.
However, Aeon doesn’t know about the Zodiac eras. They appear to the user due to a name convention, that’s all.
You can see that if you open Aeon’s calendar settings (you may have to delete the events before). There are 1002 Aeon eras, 1000 of them last only one year.
To repeat once again: This is a workaround. The fact that a “1” is displayed for every year in the calendar is the price you pay. But otherwise it works quite well, doesn’t it?
Cheers,
Peter
