@svonbentzel
how does your config for this module look like?

[svonbentzel]

Hi,

{
				        module: 'MMM-Todoist',
				        position: 'bottom_center',  // This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions.
				        header: 'Todoist', // This is optional
				        config: { // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
				            accessToken: 'c7xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxe3b54',
							//lists: ["edit in MMM-Todoist.js"],
				            maximumEntries: 10,
				            interval: 60,
				            fade: true,
				      }
				    },

this is my config.js

you must edit the /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Todois/MMM-Todoist.js

edit the list entry from list: [“inbox”] to [“1234567890”]

defaults: {
	maximumEntries: 10,
	lists: ["198511455"],
	interval: 60,
	fade: true,
	fadePoint: 0.25

Hi psm9… I’m fairly new to MagicMirror but I’ve been digging into the Todoist module to sort the list by due date. Did anyone ever answer your question? I didn’t see any responses to your sort question so I started digging into it and added code to the fetcher.js for MMM-Todoist.
I’ve got it working on my mirror and when I add something that is due today… it will put it in the proper sequence on the next refresh. My JS skills are limited so the code may be made more efficient but it works. I’ll contact the Todoist author to see if I can add it to the module.

P.S. I tried adding the code to this message but it did not take all 50 lines or so.

Hey guys,

Very sorry that I have been MIA. I’ve been really busy with work and haven’t been able to give this any attention. I see a number of bugs and improvements in the thread. If you could submit your improvements and changes as Pull Request to the github repo, I’ll merge them in and everyone can have them. If not, I’ll try to add them in soon.

Thanks,
Chris

Is this module working for people? I’ve tried this one, MMM-Wunderlist and MMM-Wunderlist-Enhanced. They all behave similar. Some times they load the list, sometimes they don’t. When I add an item on my PC, it doesn’t show up in MM until reboot. I see reports of issues like this across all three modules. Since they are based on MMM-Wunderlist, maybe there is a problem in the base code?

Here’s the log
Create new todo fetcher for list: 2153843199 - Interval: 60000

Been testing a lot and figured out if you have entries in your list that have no due date assigned, then it crashes the module. If all entries in the list have dates then it behaves well. Gonna dig into the code to see where the bug is.

So I have to be one of those… I am having the same problem guys but you guessed it, my list is showing blank.

I have confirmed the node_modules is in the MMM-todoist folder and I updated the list number in MMM-Todoist.js. i have confirmed my access token is correct and my lists numbers are correct

My MMM-Todoist.js is:

Module.register("MMM-Todoist", {

 defaults: {
              maximumEntries: 10,
              lists: ["my list number here"],
              interval: 60,
              fade: false,
              fade point: 0.25
},

My config.js is:

{
             module: 'MMM-Todoist',
             position: 'bottom_left',
             header: 'Todoist'
             config: { // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
             accessToken: 'my access token here',
                              // lists: ["edit in MMM-Todoist.js"],
             maximumEntries: 60,
             interval: 60,
             fade: false
             }
},

If anyone has any thoughts i would be really appreciative. Been tearing out my 4 remaining hairs.

@Sunburned What worked for me is if when adding TODOs on the app or website if you give them a due date they will then show up on the mirror, in the order that they are due from soonest to latest.

Just a tip, todoist now integrates natively with google calendar, then the “official” calendar plugin works just fine.
(even before todoist integrated with google, i used todoist iCal link with official calendar plugin, set manual refresh and it just works great).

Thanks for the suggestion, saw that earlier in the thread and tried it out. No luck
