google calendar event location

[Andy_nde]

Hey there,

I have daily changing locations for my work, so I’d like to get the route to these locations every morning. the location is implemented in my google calendar events and it just has to be displayed maybe like in MMM-Commute e.g. is there any solution to implement this?

@andy_nde said in google calendar event location:

the location is implemented in my google calendar

what field of the event is this in?

can u download the ics (use the URL from the cal )
it is just a text file…

so one event.

BEGIN:VEVENT
…
…
…
END:VEVNET

the calendar module broadcasts the events so other modules might augment the system with at info
(weather, etc…)
i don’t know what field it is, so doubt we broadcast it…

[Andy_nde]

@sdetweil yes the broadcast of the calendar module was the solution. With MMM-google-route I found the right thing I was looking for.

@Andy_nde how did you do it? Can you share your steps and config file? Thanks

[sdetweil]

@rodrigolousada add
broadcastEvents:true,
to the default calendar config section

[rodrigolousada]

@sdetweil Thank you! I also added to the configs of MMM-google-route

listen: "CALENDAR_EVENTS"

Now it is working :) Do you know how could I have the MMM-google-route showing only if I have something on my calendar? Right now I have a default route, that is changed if I have something on my calendar. But it would be nicer to have the module hidden, and then appearing when I get something on the calendar. I tried deleting the “destination” from the configs file, but it shows a big grey square when I don’t have anything on my calendar.

@rodrigolousada sorry, I do not know the module at all
