@tjat How did you manage to increase the font-size of the calendar month heading (SEPTEMBER 2023)?

How did you manage to increase the font-size of the calendar month heading (SEPTEMBER 2023)?

I added in the custom css:

.MMM-CalendarExt3 .module-header {
font-size: [changes here]
[other options you’d like to change]
}

@jalow Thank you. It worked.

I would love to see your configuration and CSS files for this layout - looks really clean.

This is amazing! Thank you.

Do you know if the Google calendar option works with iCal/iCloud calendar?

@jalow

Could you elaborate on the changes you made to be able to be able add/edit/delete calendar entries in EXT3?

I’m able to get the pop up to add events and the events add to the main calendar. I’m stuck tho, as I can’t edit or delete these events.

A wishlist would be able to add events to some of the other linked calendars I have. I’m also stuck and can’t get the MMM-SimpleKeyboard to open. I’m running the magic mirror through server mode and view through a website and just use an attached wired keyboard for the time being.

Thanks for any help!

@wswenson @tjat i’d also love to see the original files. I’m very much a noob here. I’ve tried downloading and installing all the modules but it just looks like the default mm screen -how do I configure/edit to look like yours, etc, please?

Man I thought I was the only person on the internet who wanted a family dashboard that was interactive (ie to enter events on Google calendar -not just view them!). I’ve got the RPI and touch screen (Hannspree 23") sorted but with no real knowledge of coding or magic mirror modules was at a loss. I will be looking through your posts/git in more detail then I next get time! Thanks!

I was having issues with the calendar swipe feature not working. The keypress would work fine though. Looks like the new version of Electron has removed touchevents and changed to pointerdown and pointerup.

I forked the original and made the changes: https://github.com/B3DTech/MMM-KeyPress

I’m looking at cleaning up code in the add event module to remove some of the hard-coded customizations in the original. They are very much customized to the original creator with family names and icons hard coded. For the most part, that isn’t needed in a general framework for just adding events.

I am also looking at merging the code into the latest version of MMM-CalendarExt3 since it’s so far behind now.

It’s a slow work in progress. If anyone else has some time and wants to help out let me know.

@mdiorio electron still will provide touch events provided the underlying screen service does…

did you change OS levels since it last appeared to work?

they have changed the window manager twice in the last year.

Original was X11
last year introduced Wayland
this Oct introduced Labwc
