MMM-CalendarExt3

[anonymous321]

Hello, I’m new to MagicMirror trying to build my first. I’m having an issue with any events showing up. When I run the attached code I get a blank calendar. However when I run the regular calendar I see all the events. Am I doing something wrong?

{
			module: "MMM-MonthlyCalendar",
			header: "Family Calendar",
			position: "bottom_bar",
			config: {
				updatesEvery: 30,
				weeksInFuture: 5, 
				mode: "fourWeeks",
				firstDayofWeek: "sunday",
                               //maximumEntries: "10000", <--- " I saw in one of the forums that this could help but it did not."
				calendars: [
				  {
					url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/******basic.ics",
					priority: 1,
				  },
				]
			  }
			}

Here is a screenshot of the regular calendar.

This is what it looks like with MMM-CalendarExt3

what MagicMirror version is this? latest?

see this https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19282/version-2-30-0-calendar-fix-for-clipping-broadcast-events

[anonymous321]

I think its the latest. I just installed it two nights ago. How would I check the version number?

[sdetweil]

@anonymous321 look at the messages at startu
if using pm2 then

pm2 logs --lines=xxx
xxx is number of most recent lines, default 15

or look inside the package.json file

Version 1.9.4

MagicMirror version

the fix is in the MagicMirror calendar module

Hi,
I’ve just come across this great module, but I cannot quite get it to work.
My default calendar module shows multiple google-calendar based calendars/entries.
This works fine.
However: CX3 only shows the ‘work’ calendar and I do not know why.

Can anybody point me in the right direction ?

Edit: so I got it working (somehow) but the calendar entries take forever to show up in CX3.
Why is that ?

@p1lspeda i would start with commenting out the calendarSet:null

[p1lspeda]

@sdetweil
thanks for the help.
Did that - no change.
Same problem and I have no idea where to start an look

Edit: HA ! I decreased the refreshIntervall and it seems as that did the trick - I could have probably just waited 30min (but I’m impatient)

[sdetweil]

@p1lspeda ok. nice work.
Ext3 attempts to not flash the screen on every update. the individual calendar data arrive at different times

so the waitFetch value is used to decide when to display initially, and refreshInterval after that

waitFetch defaults to 5 seconds

so this means some data arrived after 5 seconds (waitFetch)
