Show calendar based on IP Address accessed

Spinster

@sdetweil I understand about the log. Thank you.

Regarding the IP address, I am very new to javascript hence trying to get my head around it. Being a C programmer, certain things in JavaScript is still a distant for me. Hope to understand soon.

Just in case if you have some time, a simple code from you would help me. Please.

@MMRIZE I understand, Ideally I would like to avoid opening multiple ports and use a common config to serve clients based on their IP. In fact, though DHCP is used by my home server, I have only assigned the IP address to reservations, hence static IP within my home network is not a problem.

Please suggest a simple code to use a specific calendar based on IP address of the client.

I’m out of my test PC, so I can’t show atm. (Maybe tomorrow possible, if you couldn’t success until that time)
You can add custom config attribute map-like object calendarMap in your config.js

module: "calendar",
position: "top_left",
config: {
  calendarMap: {
    "192.168.178.100": ["calendar1", "calendar2"],
    "192.168.178.101": ["calebdar1", "calendar3"],
  },
  calendars: [
    {
      url: " … ",
      name: "calendar1",
    },
…

In calendar.js around line 176, when CALENDAR_EVENTS notification coming, you can filter the payload(array of events) of that notification by checking calendarName of each event is matched to this.config.calendarMap.

Sorry I can’t show the real code now. Maybe some hours later I may be able to. Anyway concept would be like this.

@MMRIZE Great, You have given me an idea, will wait for your code. Please share when possible.

@Spinster
Ah I suddenly remember that getting Internal IP with only JavaScript on client browseris hard.
Hmmm another approach might be needed.

sdetweil

@MMRIZE that is why you need the express api call…

I would make a separate module that has ip in div, not shown, but w id

then call in calendar is document.get…
compare, your way or on cal entries
more synchronous…

MMRIZE

@sdetweil
Yes. I thought a small module with node_helper that could return clients’ ip as a result of REST api call from calendar module.

sdetweil

@MMRIZE and that module calls its own rest call publishes the address in its getDom() result, with id= on div

and then cal module can use synchronous document.getElementsById()

to get that value.

@MMRIZE @Spinster

so the little module is

and it does correctly return the ip address of the client… tested from 4 different systems to the same MM…

see later post for final solution

Wow, you are quick, you have given me some homework. Will use your code and get back with the result.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.
