calendar with recurring event

[jasondreher]

I see many posts where recurring events are not showing. But I cant find a solution. Has this been fixed somehow?

I am running the default calendar module and my recurring events are not showing.

At one point I used MMM-MyCalendar and that showed all events, but that no longer works with the current MM version.

Any suggestions on another calendar module to use… something similar to the default one?

@jasondreher

could u post on of the events from the ics file that demonstrates this?

use the url in the cal in the browser,not will download the ics file. open it as a text file not just double click.

BEGIN:VEVENT
…
…
END: VEVENT

change any personal info, don’t change anything else

I only changed the UID, looks like it started 9/12/22, repeats weekly till 10/12/22. (although some of that is a day off, but that is what some of the other forum items said)

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220912T190000
DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220912T200000

@jasondreher ok thx will review shortly.

the day off bug has a fix in the next release ( Saturday), cal entries w BYDAY return junk

[sdetweil]

@jasondreher ok, i don’t see a problem with 2.20 or upcoming 2.21 (with the byday fix) …

do you have broadcastPastEvents:true? in the cal config?

there is a bug there, that I introduced… it chops off maxEvents incorrectly (also fixed in 2.21, Sauturday)

workaround is to increase maxEntries from 10 to 100 (or more) depending on how big the past years events are…

@sdetweil

I do not have broadcastPastEvents: true, in my config.

I will update this weekend, add broadcastPastEvents: true, and see if that fixes anything, thanks.

[sdetweil]

@jasondreher don’t NEED broadcastPastEvents, it was just a bug I introduced… which fixed a regression of another problem…

want to run debug test…

edit config.js and add ,“DEBUG”
to the logLevel:

attribute at the top of config.js

then if using pm2, pm2 stop all

then

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somefie.txt 2>&1

run til cal appears
ctrl-q to end
send the somefile.txt to my email (I don’t share info )
my same userid at gmail

turn off debug

@sdetweil
Wow, I cant find your email, I am sure its fairly obvious. Anyway I narrowed down the event that is not showing…
It looks all right, showing “Corrected startDate: Mon Oct 03 2022 19:00:00 GMT-0500 (Central Daylight Time)”
