Custom Event Colors for MMM-MonthlyCalendar

[superior_carter]

I was hoping to use the array for custom events that’s in calendar.js to save some time and then I wouldn’t have to do anything crazy as I’m still new to this. I quickly found that the colors don’t show on the monthly calendar module I’m using (MMM-MonthlyCalendar), but they do show on the default calendar. There is a block of code for broadcasting custom symbols in calendar.js, but nothing for the colors… I believe the issue is just that, that the custom event colors are not being broadcast to other modules but the calendar url colors are. I’m not sure how to implement it so it would work the way I’m wanting though, any help on how this would be done would be appreciated!

@jonnyollet the default calendar module does not get the Google calendar event colors in the ICS data. it is not part of the interchange standards.

so the only thing we can send is the URL configured colors.

the custom event config colors are not used until display time so they are not available when the broadcast is done
