@sdetweil said in Help with calendar:

@gerbenz hide the default calendar
comment out its position setting on config.js

// position: … whatever

maybe you want week view instead of month view??

mode:“week”, // instead of month
weeksInView: 1

size, that is all CSS (styling, which goes in MagicMirror/css/custom.css)

the doc for Ext3 gives extensive info on css values…

note the position you set it in also impacts its size…
see this part of the module config for understanding the module positions
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/configuration.html#position

I hide the original calendar, butt then the MMM-CalendarEXT3 is empty.
when i place back the original then its filled

[sdetweil]

@gerbenz is this the latest MM release 2 .30

did you put on the fix?
see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19282/version-2-30-0-calendar-fix-for-clipping-broadcast-events

[gerbenz]

@sdetweil

done,but not working. stays empty

[sdetweil]

@gerbenz can you show me output of

cd ~/MagicMirror 
git branch

  master

[sdetweil]

@gerbenz ok, can you show the output of starting MagicMirror

if you are using pm2 then
pm2 logs --lines=xxx
xxx is the number of most recent lines , default 15

you may need more
careful the cal broadcast message contains the full url so coukd expose personal info

is it broadcasting events ?

[gerbenz]

@sdetweil

only see events when i place orriginal callendar too,

then the addon works good.

wierd.

[sdetweil]

@gerbenz no idea

can you show the calendar configuration
(xxx out the urls but don’ change anything else)

you ARE just commenting out the calendar position line, right??
mine looks like this

      {
        module: "calendar",
        classes: "page1",
        //position: "top_left",
        order: "*",
        index: 1,
        label: "instance 1",
        config: {
          broadcastPastEvents: true,
          fetchInterval: 120000,
          urgency: 0,
          dateFormat: "Do.MMM, HH:mm",
          fullDayEventDateFormat: "Do.MMM",
          getRelative: 0,
          hidePrivate: true,

[gerbenz]

@sdetweil

        module: "calendar",
        position: "middle_center",
        config: {
			coloredText: true,
            broadcastPastEvents: false, // <= IMPORTANT to see past events

@gerbenz fetch every 60 seconds?

might be a spammer

how about try 5 mins
and comment out the position

Ext3 tries not to flash the screen w updates, you are probably running into that with so frequent updates and so many cals all at different times

you can look at the pm2’log and see timestamps when events are sent from each cal

[gerbenz]

@sdetweil

updating the screen works good.
all calendars are working.
butt when i hide the standard calendar then te addon calandar lost the events and is empty

[sdetweil]

@gerbenz but thats not how it works! the calendar module just keeps sending even when no position is specified.

i have both setup on my system and it works perfectly

maybe 10releases ago modules w no
position would not be run

you should be able to see the broadcasts go out in the logs

[sdetweil]

@gerbenz show me the default calendar config whenExt3 is not working.

[gerbenz]

@sdetweil

I changed nothing, only possition to unknown dor the standard calendar.

And then the addon calendar is show no events

[sdetweil]

@gerbenz no, NOT unknown, thats invalid, module will not be loaded (there will be an error in the log about this)

just add
//

to the front of the line w position on it to comment it out

see mine that i posted earlier
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/post/123049

[gerbenz]

@sdetweil

Okay i give it a try tomorrow.

Thanks so far for youre help.

I lett it know if it works.
And do i need delete the adresses from the standard calendar or not?

[sdetweil]

@gerbenz address?

look at my example

[gerbenz]

@sdetweil

I mean urls,

I have in both the same urls for the calendar
