Problem installing new module (beginner), CalendarEXT3 not displaying

sdetweil

@Manino do you see all the events from the calendars in the default calendar?

i am not the EXT3 author…

I start with no calendarsets in ext3

I used this and it works

      {
  module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
  position: "bottom_bar",
  title: "",
  config: {
    mode: "month",
    maxEventLines: 5,
    firstDayOfWeek: 1,
    calendarSet: [], 
  }
},

@sdetweil thanks for your printscreen and your time. As what I can see, I have exactly the same config when it comes to the EXT3. Including the open/close brace. (Did’nt copy paste them last time). And now for my picture i did exactly as you.

When I have bottom_bar the EXT3 also almost drowning. How can it be so different. Can you see something?

Maybe your 3 calendars might have tons of events(at least 10) since long long ago time(at least 1 year).
Past events might be too many, so all of the quota for broadcasting was already consumed by the older events.
To test it, remove 3 calendars, try ‘us-holiday’ calendar of the default config example.

If so, check maximumNumberOfDays and maximumEntries of the default calendar module.

I think it is not the bug of that module but unexpected behaviour. Generally, for past events, People will regard newer events than older events as more important. But broadcasting of this calendar module contains older events prior to newer ones.

but you could walk from end of list back to before today, and now know forward looking and past looking… keep going back to the start date of the calendar view … this is what I do with a port of your code to another platform…

@MMRIZE bad news, all my calendars are new. No old event. I’m an apple user and usually not use google calendar at all. :(

And in september it’s kind of few events.

@Manino
But your picture above post shows you have Google Calendar. Could you send me the real URLs of icals? eouia0819@gmail.com
To represent your symptom, I need real data.

AFAIK, without proper maximumNumberOfDays and maximumEntries values, the bunch of broadcasting will be filled with prior events first up to maximumEntries. So the casted payload will not contain recent newer ones.
Is something changed in default calendar?

Manino

@MMRIZE You got mail! Yes, I do have Google Calendar. And it’s all brand new for me. No old event.

I tested URL you sent me. (Green is that one. I hope this will not be too privacy things.)
