MMM-CalendarExt3Journal not displaying

[jlward73]

I am unable to get the Journal module to work at all. I am running CalendarExt3 fine now with all my calendars feeding in properly, but the Journal shows nothing. I’ve gone through the tutorial for the submodule update, but that did not help. I’m running the “normal” configuration as follows:

 module: "MMM-CalendarExt3Journal",
  position: "bottom_bar",
  config: {
    height: '50vh',
    width: '100%',
    staticWeek: true,
    staticTime: true,
    hourLength: 14,
    beginHour:  6,
    calendarSet: [],
  }

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Syntax strikes again. I had the variable as hourlength vice hourLength. Also, I had CX3J and the newsfeed module both along the bottom bar. I moved CX3J up to the lower third and all is displaying right. Now I just want to do some tweaks to the css file for formatting. Thanks again for all your help and the great modules.

@jlward73
What do you mean shows nothing ? Is the module itself not showing anything else(even if an empty time table frame)? Or events are not showing?
Your config itself seems nothing wrong.

calendarSet: [] means all calendars, so it is OK.

Could you show me your front-end log? (With Ctrl+Shift+i)

[jlward73]

It is not showing anything at all. No events, no empty calendar. . . completely blank. That’s what’s really confusing since the CalendarExt3 module I have is working just fine. I just want to be able to use Journal to show the current week in more detail. I will try to send you the front-end log tomorrow.

@jlward73
Perhaps,… Are you place CX3 and CX3J to same region? Overflow may happens so the module locates out of screen… Just a guess.

I know this has been dormant a while, but I had to fix the issue with my buttons not working with Carousel. I pulled up the front-end log, but not sure what to look for. I did not see any blaring errors associated with the Journal. Most of my errors were with Key Bindings which I don’t think I am really using at all, so may remove it. Is there something in particular that should stand out to me?

@jlward73 this module may help you cause it will report the notifications

@sdetweil I tried using ViewNotifications before while I was troubleshooting MMM-Buttons, but could not get anything to show up. I can try it again, but what notifications would be sent regarding CX3Journal not showing up?

[sdetweil]

@jlward73 view notifications

all the config is optional, so it should display every notification and there are a lot of them

Let’s make things simpler.
What is your current major problem. CX3J is not showing? Or Button is not working?
Solve it one-by-one.

If your issue is about Button, create a new post about it. You don’t have to mention CX3J not to make things complex. Only focus on the Button’s work (and its notification maybe.)

If your issue is CX3J’s working, Forget Button things.
Backup your current config then remove all other modules from config except clock, calendar, MMM-CalendarExt3Journal. Then execute MM.
Show me the whole front-end log.

@MMRIZE I got Buttons working, so just need to focus on CX3J. Let me take it down to just the basics like you say and I will see what shakes out. Thanks.
