    Mykle,

    I want to display a tabular report of workshops on the mirror (static, no scrolling)

    like this:

    image - date - description
    image - date - description
    etc

    Can that be done with the MMM-events module ?
    Can i take the event from a webserver or local file ?

    Help appreciated!

    Thanx!
    Poekel

      Is there a way to keep the header from fading in and out when the event changes?

      I think I was asleep when you first asked this question.

      You can set the animationSpeed: in your config to 0

      That should eliminate the fade altogether (for the entire module), not just the header

        That probably depends on the data format. If it’s .ics then it would work in your calendar module. If it’s json, or maybe xml, then it might be usable, but even then much modification would have to be done to the module. As it is, you couldn’t just pop it in and have it display as you described it above

          I have an issue with this module on my mirror, it just shows “upcoming events…” on the screen but nothing else.

          Here’s my code, I’ve changed my API key so it’s not publicly shared.

          Am I doing something wrong?

              module: 'MMM-Events',
              position: 'bottom_left',
              config: {
                  city: "Pittsburgh, PA",            // Your City
                  eventType: "music_country",
          //      eventType: "sports",
          //      eventType: "food",
          //      eventType: "comedy",               // Choose from Events List below
                  when: "This Week",                 // "All", "Future", "Past", "Today", "Last Week", "This Week", "Next week", and months by name, e.g. "October"
                  mode: "noFrame",                   // "Frame" or "noFrame" (around picture)
                  apikey: "QbpDjd6SXXXXXXXX",
                  rotateInterval: "6000",     // New Event Appears every 5 minutes
                  useHeader: "True",                 // Set to true if you want a header
                  header: "Upcoming Events",
                  animationSpeed: "3000",              // Event fades in and out
                  picture: "false"                     // true, false = no image

            useHeader: true, (no quotes, no capital T)

            rotateInterval: "6000", is only 6 seconds. You might want to raise this

            Otherwise, it works for me with my API key and corrections:

            {
            		module: 'MMM-Events',
            		position: 'bottom_left',
            		config: {
            			city: "Pittsburgh, PA",            // Your City
            			eventType: "music_country",
            	//      eventType: "sports",
            	//      eventType: "food",
            	//      eventType: "comedy",               // Choose from Events List below
            			when: "This Week",                 // "All", "Future", "Past", "Today", "Last Week", "This Week", "Next week", and months by name, e.g. "October"
            			mode: "noFrame",                   // "Frame" or "noFrame" (around picture)
            			apikey: "YOUR API KEY",
            			rotateInterval: "20000",     // New Event Appears every 5 minutes
            			useHeader: true,                 // Set to true if you want a header
            			header: "Upcoming Events",
            			animationSpeed: "3000",              // Event fades in and out
            			picture: "false"                     // true, false = no image
            		}
            		},

              @Mykle1 Thanks, I changed my code to yours but I’m still not getting anything… is there anything else I can do to debug?

                You can post any errors from your teminal or console (from Dev Tools) so we can see what is going on there. You can see that it works for me using your config that I corrected. Are you absolutely sure that your API key is correct and entered correctly within the config entry?

                  @Mykle1 100% sure the API key is correct… I’m not sure about how to access the dev tools, pardon my naivety.

                  I could give you access to the device if you’d have a couple of minutes to look?

                    Scrap my messages… it started working after a reboot…

                    However, is it possible to have multiple categories?

                    does this:

                    eventType: "music_country",
                    eventType: "sports",
                    eventType: "food",
                    eventType: "comedy",  
                    

                    or this:

                    eventType: ["music_country", "sports", "food", "comedy"]
                    
                    

                    work?
