@sdetweil here is some information:

@oldrocker said in Calendar Not Displaying Recurring Events:

broadcastPastEvents: true,
maximumEntries: 100,
maximumNumberOfDays: 365,

these parms are not calendar specific, they need to be above the calendars:[] list
and the first/last are the same as their default value

in the config options doc,

the first section applies to ALL calendars

the later section applies to each calendar entry. { url:…}

also

the master event with the start:/dtend is not present in the list you showed

@sdetweil Sorry, I’ve made a mess out of my config file the past three days figuring this out. I used the CalDav 3rd party module to create ics file, so if it’s not correct, I suppose I should download the ics directly from my calendar to troubleshoot. Perhaps the problem is in CalDav and I’m asking the questions in the wrong forum.

For a work-around, I can use the public subscription to the calendar just fine but the recurrences are shifted over one day like in a previous post in this forum you participated in. I looked at the calendarutils.js you mention in that posting for modification but I don’t see the lines that should be modified. I would rather use the ics method but will use this export method if I can get the events to be in the correct day. Can you help me with that?

sdetweil

@oldrocker point me to the post you reference…

oldrocker

@sdetweil

Here it is. I’d rather not have a public subscription out there but it is what it is.

sdetweil

@oldrocker yeh, I added that code already to attempt to fix this. but the rule lib keeps giving back junk. I haven’t found a way to fix this.

oldrocker

@sdetweil ok, then I’m stuck. Thanks for your help!

There should be RRULES in the file. Could you find?

oldrocker

@MMRIZE

RRULES is not in the file that I could find. I also downloaded the ics directly from my Nextcloud instance and tried a manual static load like BasicUser did found here:

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/13488/default-calendar-and-nextcloud-caldav

Effectively, I am cutting out the use of any 3rd party module and the recurrences are the same. The recurrences on Saturdays are correct while my recurrences on Wednesday shift to Thursdays after the first event. The ics loads just like when I pull it directly from the export url; SOME of the recurrences are a day ahead. This appears to be an issue with the default calendar and not the ics or the third party modules because the third party modules mirror what the default calendar sees and the ics file displays correctly in other applications and programs.

Perhaps I will spend some time looking into learning more about JS this weekend so I can troubleshoot further.

@oldrocker its rrule
