Sync private iCloud calendar with MagicMirror

spesh

Does this allow the option for different icons for different calenders? I’m just starting to build mine and would like to sync two seperate iCloud calenders and have them display with different icons/colours

Yes, this should allow multiple coloured calendars.
You just have to add the UUIDs for each calendar you want to sync to the collections array in your vdirsyncer config.
This should create multiple .ics files. One for each calendar. Then you could add each calendar to your MagicMirror config and use the color option described in the default calendar module for your calendars. Just add the colored option to your “global” module config and add a color option to each calendar.

A calendar config could look like this then (for “Calendar 1” and “Calendar 2” as described above):

{
    module: 'calendar',
    position: 'top_left',   // This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions.
    config: {
        colored: true,   // Activate coloring
        maximumNumberOfDays: 10,
        maximumEntries: 7,
        calendars: [
                // "Calendar 1"
                {
                        url: 'http://localhost:8080/modules/calendars/25CB285C-E163-4E0E-B420-C3FB469B7C00.ics',
                        symbol: 'calendar'
                        color: '#123456'   // Assign color
                },
                // "Calendar 2"
                {
                        url: 'http://localhost:8080/modules/calendars/221FEE8-E8B4-4D07-9402-8638529919EC.ics',
                        symbol: 'calendar'
                        color: '#ABCDEF1'  // Assign color
                }
        ]
    }
},

hello how do we get the links calendars icloud thank you

Beh

@Doubleve What do you mean?

Doubleve

I will like my 3 calendars icloud but I do not see the links of the style
https://p02calendars.icloud.com/published/2/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxQhtoAvoFiIwGI1
To have UUID

Beh

@Doubleve You don’t need these links, since vdircsyncer discovers your calendars automatically on iCloud and identifies them by their IDs.

It is explained in the “Let vdirsyncer discover the collections and do the inital sync” section of the walkthrough.

You mirror accesses the calendar saved to a file on your mirror.

@Beh error for discover

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/vdirsyncer”, line 7, in

ImportError: No module named ‘vdirsyncer’

Beh

@Doubleve Did you change the first line of the file to #!/usr/bin/python3 ?

Doubleve

everything is good

That sounds good for me. Does it work with reminders on the same way?
