@sdetweil Is this working? Should I try it, please advice

@sdetweil
Still I can’t catch you.[2024-05-07 15:03:33.741] [LOG] Use existing calendarfetcher for url: https://ics.calendarlabs.com/76/mm3137/US_Holidays.icsThe log shows, duplicated URL would be integrated into existing fetcher, So unlike your words, 3 clients doesn’t make 3 duplicated wasted fetcher.
If clientA needs cal1, cal2, cal3 and clientB needs cal1, cal4, cal5. In this case server should fetch 5 calendars anyway. User may need cal1 ~ cal5 even on 1 screen or 2 screens, ther server’s burden would be the same.
The only aspect that could be considered a waste is the transmission of unusing event data for cal4 and cal5 to clientA, but unless it’s a performance issue with the data parsing algorithm, simply having large data size being transmitted isn’t particularly problematic. Moreover, since the data is dropped in my code as soon as the notification is received, it can’t be deemed a significant memory issue. If the data size itself becomes problematic, it implies there’s already a problem with the original calendar module using cal1, cal2, cal3, cal4, and cal5.
Too skeptic.

@Spinster said in Show calendar based on IP Address accessed:
Modified the calendars to suite mine. I could see even if there is no calendar defined for a particular ip. Please advice
in the calendar config, I added
clientMap.{ module: "calendar", header: "US Holidays", position: "top_left", config: { clientMap: { "192.168.178.63": [ "cal1", "cal2", "cal3" ], "192.168.178.22": [ "cal3", "cal4", "cal5" ] }, calendars: [ { url: "...", name: "cal1", }, ... -
@Spinster yes, the two pieces together
ipaddress:“…”
at each cal url block… only does one ipaddress per url -
@MMRIZE
Here is my config{ module: "alert", }, /* { module: "updatenotification", position: "top_bar" },*/ { module: "clock", position: "top_left" }, { module: "MMM-ModuleMonkeyPatch", config: { patches: [ { module: "calendar", method: "socketNotificationReceived", patch: async function (original, args) { const [ notification, payload ] = args if (notification === "CALENDAR_EVENTS") { const calendarName = this.config.calendars.find((cal) => cal.url === payload?.url)?.name const r = await fetch('http://10.5.11.1:8080/modules/getip') const ip = JSON.parse(await r.text())?.[ 'address' ] ?? null console.log(ip) if (!this.config.clientMap?.[ ip ]?.includes(calendarName)) { return original(notification, { ...payload, events: [] }) } } return original(notification, payload) } } ] } }, { module: "getip", }, { module: "calendar", header: "Home Cal", position: "top_left", config: { clientMap: { "10.5.11.5": [ "cal1" ], "10.5.11.6": ["cal2"] }, calendars: [ { fetchInterval: 10 * 60 * 1000, symbol: "calendar-check", url: "https://homecals/xEzboFt7Kr3Yfiys?export", name: "cal1", } ] } }This is showing both 10.5.11.5 and 10.5.11.6 the same calendar. Though 10.5.11.6 should not have any calendar since it is not defined. Even I tried without an entry of 10.5.11.6 in calendar map but it still showing the calendar. What am I doing wrong. Please advice

@MMRIZE I even added the calendarmap, I hope you seen my config.js sent earlier

Sorry, i think I have not installed Monkey module, will install and check again
-
Should I use your earlier code and this? Please advise
-
@Spinster yes you need both
I am away from my system for another couple hours
will collapse to one post then
-
@Spinster ok, here is the final
in calendar.js
add these variables
updateOnFetch: true, useIPAddress: false // add config var }, timerHandle:null, // add this ourIPAddress:null, // add this requiresVersion: "2.1.0",change this
// Override start method. start () {to
this// Override start method. startup () {add this code
let ip_match = false; if(this.config.useIPAddress){ const client_ip_for_this_calendar = this.getCalendarProperty(calendar.url, "ipaddress", null) if(this.ourIPAddress) ip_match = client_ip_for_this_calendar.includes(this.ourIPAddress) } if(this.config.useIPAddress == false || ip_match==true) this.addCalendar(calendar.url, calendar.auth, calendarConfig); // old original lineand add this routine somewhere
notificationReceived(notification,payload){ if(notification === 'ALL_MODULES_STARTED'){ // if we are using ip address checking if(this.config.useIPAddress){ // loop thru all the modules let m = MM.getModules().withClass("getip"); if(m.length){ // if getip is configured and not disabled if((m[0].disabled== undefined || (m[0].disabled != undefined && m[0].disabled == false)) ){ // start a timer to wait for getip to finish this.timerHandle = setInterval(()=>{ // get its dom content let client_ip = document.getElementById("getip_address") // if we found id if(client_ip !== null){ // stop the timer clearInterval(this.timerHandle) // save our IP address, only need to look it up once this.ourIPAddress=client_ip.innerText // call startup this.startup() } }, 500) } } // thru the loop, didn't start a timer, module not found if(this.timerHandle === null){ // didn't find getip // module not found, can't do this later either this.config.useIPAddress = false; this.startup() } } // use default else this.startup() } else if (notification === "FETCH_CALENDAR") { this.sendSocketNotification(notification, { url: payload.url, id: this.identifier+(this.ourIPAddress?'_'+this.ourIPAddress:'') }); } },and in the socketNotificationReceived routine
change thissocketNotificationReceived (notification, payload) { if (notification === "FETCH_CALENDAR") { this.sendSocketNotification(notification, { url: payload.url, id: this.identifier }); } if (this.identifier !== payload.id) { return; }to this
socketNotificationReceived (notification, payload) { if (this.identifier+(this.ourIPAddress?'_'+this.ourIPAddress:'') !== payload.id) { return; }and in the addCalendar routine
change thisid: this.identifier,to this
id: this.identifier+(this.ourIPAddress?'_'+this.ourIPAddress:''),to use
add the getip module to config.js, anywhere
add property to calendar above the calendars list (but still inside the config:{}{ section)useIPAddress:true,in any cal url block you want to be sensitive to IP address add property
ipaddress:"xxx yyy zzz", // space separated list of client ipaddresses this calendar can be displayed onandhow

After installing MonkeyPatch and adding the patch you have mentioned, I get the following error message when I run , npm run config:check

}If I ignore the error and run the server, I don’t get any calendar and it just says Loading… in the mirror page
What is the reason for the error. Please advice -
Wow, Clear, will try it and provide feedback please.

Hi,
I made all the changes you have mentioned, it is working!!!. Thank you so much for the efforts.
However, following are the observation,
When I add the config.js with useIPAddress: true (calendar.js has the entry of useIPAddress:false in its default), there is no effect, however in calendar.js if I set the useIPAddress: true, it is working, I don’t understand why the configuration settings are not taken.I clearly added the useIPAddress: true before the calendars declared as part of the module configuration. Please advice how to fix this.
I also have doubt on when we override the start to startup, how the notificationreceived is called. What happens when there is no start in the module.
In fact this is the first time, I have added code without understanding of anything :).
Please help me with configuration settings (config.js) to get it effected than hardcoding it to calendar.js
-
@Spinster can you show the calendar config, you can leave out the calendars:[] list entries
start is optional. but only called once
getip has not placed its content yet.the notification ALL_MODULES_STARTED is sent be the system when all the
modules start methods have been calledfrom the module development doc

-
@sdetweil
Thank you for the details.As required, my calendar config as follows
{ module: "getip", position:"bottom_left" }, { module: "calendar", useIPAddress: true, header: "My Calendars", position: "top_left", config: { calendars: [ { name: "cal01", fetchInterval: 5 * 60 * 1000, symbol: "calendar-check", url: "https://mycalendar/xEzboFt7Kr3Yfiys?export", ipaddress: "10.5.18.252 127.0.0.1 10.5.14.104", }, { name: "cal02", fetchInterval: 10 * 60 * 1000, //useIPAddress: true, symbol: "calendar-check", url: "https://mycalendar/4aK7xZPQkGKz6nCZ?export", ipaddress: "10.5.11.5", } ] } },Please let me know if I have done any mistake
-
@Spinster yes, it has to be inside the
config:{} sectioneverything outside config are MagicMirror properties about a module
see
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/configuration.html#exampleconfig is properties FOR the module and override what is defined in the module defaults:{} object
-
I made the change and it first showed correctly, but when I refresh any one of the client, the other client is getting both the calendars. What is wrong? Here is my updated calendar.js as suggested by you.

@Spinster sorry, explain
the other clienton refresh, everything is the same in the module.
each module has a unique id assigned, based on its placement in config.js
calendar sends its id down to its helper
and the helper sends the id back on response. as the response mechanism is a broadcast to all connected clients.
the clients then check to see if this response is for their request.
from code posted

also, please start using code block wrapper for all config, code and error postings
paste text into the message editor

Sorry for not explaining it clearly.
I have two clients, one from a browser using http://ip:8080 and another the native client.upon using pm2 start MagicMirror, I get the out put in native client and the browser properly showing their respective calendar.
If I hit refresh button on browser, browser is showing only its own calendar however the native client is displaying both the calendars (ie. its own and the one which is supposed to be shown in browser), If I hit Ctr-R on the native client, then browser is showing both the calendars while the native client is showing only its own calendar.
Also I don’t understand the following instructions, please explain what should I do
