MMM-CalendarExt3 not showing events on calendar, but does on list after 2.30 update

[sdetweil]

@tke499 i’ll give you a hack til next release

in ~/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar.js
add this line

		fadePoint: 0.25, // Start on 1/4th of the list.  line 25
		fadeSteps:0,  // ------- this one

and

			startFade = events.length * this.config.fadePoint;   // line 255 after above added
			fadeSteps = events.length - startFade;
			if(this.config.fadeSteps)                  /* these two */
				fadeSteps=this.config.fadeSteps 

then in your config.js calendar

          fade:true,
          fadePoint:0.02,   //  use this to get into the top 10 (my 200 list gets to number 4)
          fadeSteps:6,         // use this to decide how many steps from full to gone

@sdetweil Thanks. Do we know why this is happening with this release? Assuming it had to do with the calendar update.

[sdetweil]

@tke499 I do not yet… I checked the code that sends the list to other modules and I don’t SEE anything … ps, I personally did all the calendar updates

both versions clip the list to the config.maxEvents: value. (10 default in both)

[sdetweil]

@tke499 looking at the code again, there WAS a bug in prior releases, where
you COULD specify to limit the number of entries produced BY calendar

    { 
       url: "some cal url",
       maximumEntries:xxx   // default whatever the base config has for this property
    }

so, I added code to fix that bug

SO, if one does NOT specify maximumEntries in the cal url section,
it will clip to the default value,
which it did NOT DO before…

the prior bug was maxEvents said 100 (including old)
1st cal contributed 20
2nd cal contributed 100
3rd cal contributed 5

1st 100 (maxEvents) is returned… so none of cal 3 got processed…

the code and limits were present in prior release, just not the clipping

[tke499]

@sdetweil so I am assuming that I should just keep the coding you provided earlier correct?

[sdetweil]

@tke499
if it works for you

yes, next release is April 1

@sdetweil appreciate being patient with me. Thanks again. I made this MM for my wife for Christmas and it has fought me every single step.

[sdetweil]

@tke499 no problem… been there , done that…

thats why I do the install/upgrade, and backup/restore scripts,
and look for other ways to make the core functions easier to use

@sdetweil Wondering if this hack would work for MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda? Had half my calendars stop showing events today (the ones that have the most events in them, oddly 2 of the calendars that only have 1 or 2 events are still showing). I confirmed that the events still show in the default calendar module. I also tried the troubleshooting steps listed previously in the thread (pulling the latest from git and npm install) but no luck.

Thanks as always!

@Como yes, all the ext3 modules get the data from the same place
