Unable to get MMM-Calendar to broadcast past events
-
I’m a new user trying to get my MagicMirror up and running. I’m running into an issue with MMM-Calendar or MMM-CalendarExt3. I’m using the “week” view and as soon as events are in the past, it won’t show any of them.
I’ve done a bit of browsing on the forum (amazing community of helpful people, BTW!) and believe I have everything aligned, including setting maximumEntries, maximumNumberOfDays, pastDaysCount, and broadcastPastEvents in MMM-calendar.
I created a test calendar to try to simplify things, and created 5 events, one on each day of the week this week. When running MagicMirror, I get a notification that Calendar-Fetcher for [FAMILY] is broadcasting 3 events, presumably today, tomorrow and Friday. See below for the 5 expected events.
Here’s my code (with personal details omitted):
modules: [ { module: "alert", }, { module: "calendar", position: "top_right", maximumEntries: 10000, maximumNumberOfDays: 28, pastDaysCount: 14, maxTitleLength: 50, showLocation: false, wrapEvents: true, broadcastPastEvents: true, config: { calendars: [ { //fetchInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000, url: "https://ics.calendarlabs.com/76/mm3137/US_Holidays.ics", name: "Holidays", color: "#7c7c7c", }, { //Family Calendar url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/[PRIVATE CALENDAR ADDRESS]/basic.ics", name: "Family", color: "#e7ba51", }, ] } }, { module: "MMM-CalendarExt3", position: "top_left", title: "", config: { instanceID: "familyCalendar", mode: "week", weekIndex: 0, weeksInView: 2, maxEventLines: 5, firstDayOfWeek: 0, cellDateOptions: {month: 'long', day: 'numeric'}, maxEventLines: 8, calendarSet: ['Holidays', 'Family', 'School'], } },Here’s a screengrab of my Google Calendar and what I would expect to see in MMM-CalendarExt3:
And here’s what’s on my MagicMirror:
I’m guessing I’m missing something simple, but I just don’t see it. I appreciate everyone’s help!

thanks… I missed something in your prior postall of these
maximumEntries: 10000, maximumNumberOfDays: 28, pastDaysCount: 14, maxTitleLength: 50, showLocation: false, wrapEvents: true, broadcastPastEvents: true,go AFTER the
config: {line in the module definition in config.js
as they are parameters TO the calendar module, NOT to the MagicMirror runtimealso, this seems to be a problem
fatal: refusing to fetch into branch 'refs/heads/_fix_clipping' checked out at '/home/tim/MagicMirror' -

@sdetweil Thanks so much for the reply! I didn’t know about that fix and have now applied it. However, it is still only broadcasting future events. I only get the 2 events (today and tomorrow). Nothing from the 24th-26th.
I ran into the “package-lock.json” error. Removed that file, proceeded with installation. Then restarted MM. No change so rebooted the machine to feel good about myself. Ran “npm run install-mm” again after the reboot. Still no change.
Here’s the result of the 2nd install (after reboot):
tim@calendar:~$ cd ~/MagicMirror/ tim@calendar:~/MagicMirror$ git fetch origin pull/3679/head:_fix_clipping fatal: refusing to fetch into branch 'refs/heads/_fix_clipping' checked out at '/home/tim/MagicMirror' tim@calendar:~/MagicMirror$ git switch _fix_clipping M index.html Already on '_fix_clipping' tim@calendar:~/MagicMirror$ npm run install-mm > magicmirror@2.31.0-develop install-mm > npm install --no-audit --no-fund --no-update-notifier --only=prod --omit=dev > magicmirror@2.31.0-develop postinstall > npm run install-vendor && npm run install-fonts && echo "MagicMirror² installation finished successfully! > " > magicmirror@2.31.0-develop install-vendor > echo "Installing vendor files ... > " && cd vendor && npm install --loglevel=error --no-audit --no-fund --no-update-notifier Installing vendor files ... up to date in 1s > magicmirror@2.31.0-develop install-fonts > echo "Installing fonts ... > " && cd fonts && npm install --loglevel=error --no-audit --no-fund --no-update-notifier Installing fonts ... up to date in 1s MagicMirror² installation finished successfully! > magicmirror@2.31.0-develop prepare > [ -f node_modules/.bin/husky ] && husky || echo no husky installed. no husky installed. up to date in 13s tim@calendar:~/MagicMirror$I appreciate your time & feedback!

@sdetweil Thank you! I knew I was doing something silly. Moving those config settings inside the config brackets fixed my issue!!
I think the “fatal” error was because I had already run that command once, but I can’t say for certain.
Again, I appreciate your help on this!
