Apply color to future events in CalendarExt3

[sdetweil]

@kkmirr04 can you show the default cal and ext3 on the same page. With the same events.

Can you remove the calendarSets from the ext3 config

npm install in the ext3 module folder is enough

[kkmirr04]

@sdetweil Here is the events with the calendar

Remove the calendar sets and then run npm install again? I did see there is an update for my NPM - should i do that update too?

I also just noticed theres an error with CalExt3 when I close MM

[sdetweil]

@kkmirr04 thanks. I will try to test this out in a little bit

No, ignore the npm message

Yes, we found a bug in MagicMirror when looking for module updates. No harm done

[sdetweil]

@kristjanesperanto

can you explain this? the default cal shows colored, but Ext3 does not

I can duplicate, text not colored in Ext3

but pop is all colored.

[sdetweil]

@kkmirr04 on your second cal instance not showing

can you show the config, xxx out the cal url…

I am using pages, with ext3 on diff and cal on diff without problem… (except for ext3 color)

[kkmirr04]

@sdetweil I think I might’ve just found its related to the month / week views of Ext3…

This is how I have it now:

{
			module: "calendar",
			classes: "page0",
			header: "What's Poppin'",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
			   colored: true,
				calendars: [
					{
						name: "xx_cal",
						color: 'yellow',
						fetchInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
						symbol: "calendar-check-o",
						url: "basic.ics"
						
					},
				{
						name: "yy_cal",
						color: 'green',
						fetchInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
						symbol: "calendar-check-o",
						url: "webcal"
					},
				
				],
			    
			}
		},

When I separate them to two instances, this is the code I have:

{
			module: "calendar",
			classes: "page0",
			header: "XX Calendar'",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
			   colored: true,
				calendars: [
					{
						name: "xx_cal",
						color: 'yellow',
						fetchInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
						symbol: "calendar-check-o",
						url: "basic.ics"
						
					},

					],
				}
			},
{
			module: "calendar",
			classes: "page0",
			header: "YY Calendar'",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
			   colored: true,
				calendars: [
					{
					name: "yy_cal",
						color: 'green',
						fetchInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
						symbol: "calendar-check-o",
						url: "webcal"
					},
				
				],
			    
			}
		},

And without the Pages module, I do get both to load

I went to add Pages back in with the two calendar instance configuration and have EXT3 on week mode, the second calendar stream does not load

And still no color on calendar view on the second page

But then if I switch to month mode in EXT3 streams are loading in and some colors work - but there’s still two events (from the XX calendar) that loaded but did not get color applied.

As I’ve been messing with it, sometimes on the first run it will load both calendar streams when its in week mode, but it usually doesn’t load it after it runs once. Sometimes in month mode, it still doesn’t load the second calendar, so its not 100% accurate

@kkmirr04 interesting.

Also, you are using an old term , colored
We’ve update to coloredText, symbol,
There should have been a message in the console output at MagicMirror startup

pm2 logs —lines=xxx
xxx is the number of most recent lines in the output, default 15

I saw that when I was testing yesterday

When you get the not displayed, can you
Open the developers console

On the MagicMirror screen, ctrl-shift-I
Select the console tab and scroll around for errors(red text usually)

When one script has a fault in a browser, others will be impacted
Modules are all script

[kkmirr04]

@sdetweil I’ll keep messing with coloredText, so far everything is staying white when I use that. Here is the errors I’m seeing

[sdetweil]

@kkmirr04 custom.css not loaded just means there isn’t one. (The default as MagicMirror installed)
If you had used the scripted install it would have created an empty one so this error wouldn’t be there

There is the colored vs coloredText, coloredSymbol warning

No Obvious other errors in that part

Calendar sorting events=0, means there weren’t any?

Just for testing, if you disable pages and ext3
( add disabled:true, after the module:line)
Do both instances of calendar draw and with color?

If yes, then set disabled false on ext3

[kkmirr04]

@sdetweil with both disabled it did draw both instances with color

Then turning EXT3 back on I’ve got no color on any events again

[sdetweil]

@kkmirr04 that’s ext3 not showing color

In the off chance of some module install fluke
Delete the Mmm-CalendarExt3 folder
Then git clone
And npm install in the folder created by clone

Then restart MagicMirror
