MMM-CalendarExt2 vertical orientation positioning

Michelle.H2020

I get a bunch of red errors when trying to run the Ext 3

{
  module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
  position: "bottom_bar",
  title: "test",
  config: {
    mode: "month",
    instanceId: "basicCalendar",
    locale: 'de-DE',
    maxEventLines: 5,
    firstDayOfWeek: 1,
    calendarSet: "my test",
   
  }
},
{
  module: "calendar",
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
    broadcastPastEvents: true, 
    calendars: [
      {
        
	url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/XXXXXXXXX/public/basic.ics",
        name: "test", 
        color: "red",
      },

I use this and get the error
01.11.2023 17:10.06.203] [ERROR] WARNING! Could not validate config file. Starting with default configuration. Please correct syntax errors at or above this line: /home/mirror/MagicMirror/config/config.js:186

not sure where the error is

@Michelle-H2020 So what is above line 186 where the semicolon is?

MMRIZE

@Michelle-H2020
CX2 doesn’t respect usual MM’s positioning. It manage number of “views” in multi-positions, so you need to assign position to each “view”, not module itself.
Read manuals.

And other documents also.

@MMRIZE I think she’s trying EXT 3 now

This is starting at line 180 so there is nothing really there at all??

@Michelle-H2020 well, it appears you deleted a closing }
when u pasted in the new module entry

look at the bottom of the config.js.sample file in the same folder

@sdetweil

Not sure what I did :/ pretty sure I will have to start over and just copy and paste a default config. Do you think I can delete and just copy the whole screw of the sample ?

sdetweil

@Michelle-H2020 when i use my script, I copy the sample to config.js

mv config.js broken-config
cp config.js.sample config.js

then move your good parts from broken to config.js

a module is

{
   module: ...name
    ...
   config: {
     .....
   }
},

always make sure the open { matches the close }

I seem to have got it working I am just wondering how I adjust the events so I don’t just see a few letters of the event, and also the cell height adjustment code when I looked under the module it says

manipulateDateCell callback function See the manipulating dateCell part.

can you give me any info on this? thanks
