MMM-EventSearch - show events in your city from google

lmhmm

@chrisfr1976 Hello Chris this is fabulous thank you.

So far after signing up with Serpapi I can use the playground to get exactly what I want. However when I try to enter the same settings into EventSearch it says no events found …

location: “Cockermouth, England, United Kingdom“
query: “events cockermouth”
hl: “en”
gl: “uk”
googleDomain: “google.co.uk”

Everything else as yours except apiKey.

Is there something I’m missing?

The idea behind the module is very cool, but it is not working for me neither …

Any ideas?

@lmhmm Hello Lorraine,

I needed to fix the API request. Should be solved now. Update the module, please.

I also needed to add a “maxResults” option. The new api call is much better. :)

@bugphunk
should be now fixed as well. Update the module.

@chrisfr1976 Wow! It works! Fabulous Chris I’ve just got to reconfigure as it’s off the page. Well done fixed up!

Best wishes,

Works like a charme! Thanks for your effort! Great module!!!

May I ask kindly if you´re able to include a sliding option, so that the shown events are not cut off due to limited screen space? My screen only allows 7 events top_left with the clock module above it. Therefore all other events are not shown. A slide-interval option would solve that problem.
Another space saving option would be a “table-view” without those thumbnails, so that the events are shown as a list with date and title (and maybe smaller pictures as an configurable option).

Looking forward to possible updates :)

Thanks again and kind regards!

I got it by editing my custom.css. Could have checked prior to my posting. Sorry for that. The sliding option still might be a cool thing ;)

@bugphunk The sliding option is a really nice idea. I’ve just implemented it to the code. If you discover any bugs or new improvement ideas please let me know :)
