v2.22.0 | default calendar: no symbols with customEvents

[kai]

Hi there,
a happy new year and all the best for 2023! Many, many thanks to all who work tirelessly on the MM and keep it up to date!
I just updated to v2.22.0 successfully. :grinning_face:
I just noted that the default calendar does not show any symbols defined with customEvents. (The “main symbol” of the configuaration is displayed.)

Does anyone have a similar issue?

May the code be with you

I’ve been having the same problem. In mine the fas fa-fw fa- prefix was missing, so I changed my config to this:

customEvents: [
    {keyword: "Games", symbol: "dice fas fa-fw fa-dice"},
    {keyword: "Rugby", symbol: "running fas fa-fw fa-running"},
    {keyword: "Guitar", symbol: "guitar fas fa-fw fa-guitar"}
],

I duplicated the “dice” at the start so it keeps working when the bug is fixed. And the icons appear now.

@kai are they in a different fa group?

did u modify the code to make it work before?

Hi @sdetweil,
I’m sorry, I’m being too stupid right now…
The symbols are not in a different fa group - or at least they don’t have to be. :winking_face:
This is the code that previously worked perfectly (with a “global” symbol):

	{
		module: "calendar",
		header: "Abitur",
		position: "top_left",
		config: {
			calendars: [
				{
					symbol: "graduation-cap",
					color: "#00bfff",
					url: "<path_to_local_ics_file>"
				}
			],
			colored:true,
			dateFormat:"DD.MM.YYYY",
			fetchInterval:86400000,
			fullDayEventDateFormat:"DD.MM.YYYY",
			getRelative:0,
			maximumNumberOfDays:180,
			showEnd:false,
			timeFormat:"absolute",
			urgency:0
		}
	},

I wanted to have some entries with different symbols, hence I changed the code by adding customEvents (before upgrading to v2.22.0):

	{
		module: "calendar",
		header: "Abitur",
		position: "top_left",
		config: {
			calendars: [
				{
					symbol: "graduation-cap",
					color: "#00bfff",
					url: "<path_to_local_ics_file>"
				}
			],
			colored:true,
			customEvents: [
				{ keyword: 'Abgabe', symbol: 'file-signature' },
				{ keyword: 'feier', symbol: 'champagne-glasses' },
				{ keyword: 'Bekanntgabe', symbol: 'megaphone' }
			],
			dateFormat:"DD.MM.YYYY",
			// defaultSymbolClassName: "fa-solid fa-",
			fetchInterval:86400000,
			fullDayEventDateFormat:"DD.MM.YYYY",
			getRelative:0,
			maximumNumberOfDays:180,
			showEnd:false,
			timeFormat:"absolute",
			urgency:0
		}
	},

This worked fine as well. After having upgraded to v2.22.0 none of the customEvents symbols is displayed anymore. It doesn’t matter if there is an entry for defaultSymbolClassName.

As in most cases, the problem is probably in front of the screen… Maybe I just chose the wrong class?!?

@sdetweil @kai

Were you guys able to resolve this? I have the same issue immediately after the v2.22.0 upgrade. I’ve tried different combinations of defaultSymbolClassName variables and can not get it to work for any customEvents.

[sdetweil]

@JDIBBY I have not looked at it more. can u say what symbols you used?

the full fontawesome name please.

[sdetweil]

@JDIBBY can you use the link I posted about the dev console and see what symbol class and name was used the those elements?

[karsten13]

there was a change concerning symbols, see https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/pull/2949/files

this should be backward compatible in normal setups but I don’t know how this is compatible with customEvents.

Did you try something like

..., symbol: 'fa-solid fa-megaphone' ... or

..., symbol: 'fas fa-fw fa-megaphone' ... ?

[sdetweil]

@karsten13 but he should not have to use the fa- prefix on megaphone, cause its in the setting

[sdetweil]

@JDIBBY I changed one of my test cal setups to use custom events, copying your data but changing the trigger text

        calendars: [
        {
          url: "http://localhost:8090/modules/default/calendar/woot.ics",
          symbol: "calendar",
          color: "#efefef",
          name: "Rags Calendar",

        }
        ],
          customEvents: [
            { keyword: 'Weekly', symbol: 'file-signature' },
            { keyword: 'Every', symbol: 'champagne-glasses' },
          ],

and see this

@sdetweil looks great - that’s the way I’d like to have it. :grinning_face:
So you didn’t specify a symbol class for the customEvents at all? I have had no success with this so far…
