Calendar Config (bit of a noob)

[KirAsh4]

Any configuration, for any/all of the modules, should always go in the main config.js file. You should not have to edit anything else. If you have edited source files, I recommend you grab the original source again from Github. If after you’ve done that, your calendar still isn’t working with your configuration, feel free to post the relevant section (removing private information) and we may be able to figure out what’s going on.

Thank you for that. The calendar is starting to work (there seems to be an issue with me including an icloud calendar but I’ll verify that I have the settings correct before hitting up the forum for help with that).

However, now that I have the calendar working, all of the other modules have disappeared (weather, compliments, news rss feed). Has anyone else experienced that?

Sounds to me like you have a configuration error in your config.js file. Without seeing it, I have nothing to go by or what to tell you to fix.

Here is my complete config.js (with a few identifiers removed). Hoping something jumps out!

This is what I did and it fixed mine…

{
			module: 'calendar',
			header: 'US Holidays',
			position: 'top_left',
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
						url: 'webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics'
					}
				]
			}
		},
		{
			module: 'calendar',
			header: 'My Schedule',
			position: 'top_left',
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
						url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=xxxxxxxxxgmail.com&ctz=America/New_York'
					}
				]
			}
		},''

I edited out my email address in the url for obvious reasons but that uses my google calendar to let me see my daily schedule… it works.

Thank you all for your help and suggestions and help!.

It seems that as I have been working on this mirror project for some time, I have been working on v2-beta version which has different configuration to the current version. Just reinstalled the mirror and with a couple of minor adjustments have managed to get it working as I like.

Now the config is sorted it’s time to source the monitor and framing materials…

Cheers,

Mat
