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

@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

This is what I get:

[cheminge]

@sdetweil

yes, I am in the New York time zone.

[sdetweil]

@cheminge did you see my analysis of the events you posted

[cheminge]

@sdetweil

Yes I see your analysis.

Are you saying that the calendar tool (google) is not separating the event out and making it a new UID?

I still don’t know how to get around that.

When I confirm, should I make a new event and then delete the repeating event for that day?

[sdetweil]

@cheminge
there are three scenarios

day event repeats for 5 days, m-f
you drag one of those someplace out of sequence,
tuesday to saturday. it STILL MUST BE FULL DAY,
it STILL has same uid (part of event collection) AND a recurrence id (in case you move it back)

5 day(full) event, not repeating
you drag tuesday to saturday
same UID (part of the event collection)
it can have a different time scale hours vs day, not repeating
if you modify it. and drag it back, its a new event in the middle of old range it lost its tuesday identity on drag out

5 single full day events covering m-f, one per day
different uid each, anything is game

yours is every other week, recurring or a particular day of week
which of the events did you move?

in each of the 1st two, if you delete the base event, all uid attached events go away too (event family is deleted)
second one the outside event is no longer tuesday modified
but it is still part of the family (uid)
