Can't get mmm-calendarext3 - customEvents to display the changed events, or more than 9 days.

[cheminge]

Ok,

After some deep diving I realized I have broadcastPastEvents: true, in the wrong location in my config file.

I moved it down to be inside the “config” location and it now works!

Do I need to move the other items inside of the “config” location?

modules: [
	{module: "calendar",
			fade: false,
                        flipDateHeaderTitle: true,
                        hideDuplicates: true,
                        coloredText: true,
                        coloredBackground: false,
                        coloredSymbol: true,
			pastDaysCount: 90,
			wrapEvents: true,
			updateOnFetch: true,
			colored: true,
			config: {
				broadcastPastEvents: true,
				calendars: [
					{
						name: "**CalendarName**",
						url: "https://**My Google Calendar Link**.ics",
						symbol: "person-military-to-person",
						className: "**ClassName**",
						beforeDays: 30,
						afterDays: 90,
						maximumEntries: 100,
						pastDaysCount: 40,
						color: "green",
						fetchInterval: 60000, //900000 is 15 minuets
					},

@cheminge yes

everything BEFORE config:{
belongs to Magicmirror, and the module will not see it

ONLY stuff inside config goes to the module

config:{
..... here
}

see
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/configuration.html#example

@cheminge did you get it working?

@sdetweil

Everything seems to be working, but I am having one issue.

I have repeating events, that are “All Day” events.

Then the week of the event I change the event on the google calendar to be for a specific time of day.

When I do this, I see both the repeating “All Day” and the Specific time events. (so double events on the same day) It also doesn’t read the new times that I have put into the google calendar.

I don’t even know where to start to look for a solution for this.

Attached is a screen shot of the calendar, and for example, on January 28, all 3 are duplicate entries.

@cheminge did you put on the fixes for calendar?
are you running MagicMirror version 2.30, many calendar fixes

if you are, i want the event that you modified
before and after dumped from your ics data

curl -sL the-cal-url >somefile.txt

edit , find the event

BEGIN:VEVENT
.
.
END:VEVENT

[cheminge]

Yes, I think I have 2.30 and many calendar fixes installed…

Here is they entry for one of the entries on the 1-28-25 (duplicate of the “Alyce” entry)

@cheminge can you show me the output of

cd ~/MagicMirror 
git branch

[sdetweil]

@cheminge are you in the ny timezone too?

[sdetweil]

@cheminge ok, the RRULE rule is that the extracted event MUST match the event its extracted from

you have a full day RRULE

DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250128
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250129
RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;WKST=SU;INTERVAL=2;BYDAY=TU

and then extracted one instance

DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250131T103000
DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250131T113000

by RULE, this will be FORCED to a fullday event
as the source event is fullday

similarly if
the event is date/time
then the extracted MUST be date/time

AND its bi weekly, so the extracted event is ignored. as its not on a week boundary
(the RRULE cycle bi weekly and ONLY on TUESDAY)
RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;WKST=SU;INTERVAL=2;BYDAY=TU

the tie between the events is the UID field
UID:m6rjo4c4r97p3jm4i84aiud6ld_R20250128@google.com
the calendar tool should have changed the UID field
to make this a standalone event
but left it as part of the recurrence,
RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=America/New_York:
got to be one or the other… match the RRULE or be separate
