@Sean
Sorry again but i have another question / problem
You can see in my above standing screens that split view => current / upcoming does not work.
But before doing the update it was working.

Here is my config code

		{
				module: 'MMM-CalendarExt',
				position: "lower_third", //anywhere. It is not related to real position of view
				config: { // Read below
				system: {
				  show: ['current','upcoming','daily'],
				  locale: 'de', //when omitted, default value would be your system default locale by moment.js
				  showEmptyView: 0,
				  fullDayEventLocalize: 1,
				  redrawInterval: 30*60*1000, //minimum 60000
				  useProfileConfig: 0,
				  startProfile: ''
				},
				
				 views: {
						current: {
						  position: "top_left",
						  title: "Heute",
						  limit: 3,
						},
						upcoming: {
						  position: "top_left",
						  title: "Demnächst",
						  limit: 3,
						},
						daily: {
						  position: "bottom_bar",
						  title: "Überblick",
						  counts: 7,
						}
					  },

Hi,
it is me again.
After having everything running, my wife wants to have the view “weekly” with 2 counts.
Now i have the “problem”, that i search for the config parameter which allows also to see the timings in this view (like 08:00-10:00 …and so on)
Is it possible in the “weekly” view?
Thanks again for your support and help

@Vauxdvihl
Yes possible.

Put this code in your css.

div.CALEXT .tableStyle .eventTime {
    display:block;
}

I’m not on the console on weekends, so i didnt test it, but i think it will work.

Ps. that view is not ‘weekly’. It is ‘weeks’

Vauxdvihl

@Sean
Yes you are right…it is the view "weeks
Now i have in the appointment also the date within…it looks a little bit twice…because the date is also within the header of the week…

May be you can help me

Thanks a lot

@Vauxdvihl
Maybe on Monday I’ll provide you a patch about that.
In ‘Month’ and ‘weeks’ view, I assume nobody needs exact time, because those views might have too many events to show with time. So I I’ve thought time displaying is needed in only daily, upcoming, current.
Anyway, I’ll follow opinion of my real users. :)

I’ve finished the patch, re-pull the source and try again.

@Sean this is THE best calendar module by far…awesome job!

Phil_T

@Sean First of all, great work! This module was exactly what I was looking for.

I´ve been tinkering with it for about a day now and I got a few small issues.

Unfortunately I can´t get this (https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/de.austrian%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics) calendar to show, any suggestions?
As you can see on the screenshot below, there is quite some space left for calendar to use. Any tips on how can designate all this void area for the calendar?
I can´t seem to enable the event time (eg. 17:00-19:00 next to the event title), what might be the problem here?

Thanks a lot for the help!

Has it “Erster Advent” on 3 December? I can see that event.

As you can see on the screenshot below, there is quite some space left for calendar to use. Any tips on how can designate all this void area for the calendar?

Did you mean whole calendar area? or each event?
for whole calendar area; Add this code to your css/custom.css

.CALEXT div.tableStyle {
 width:100%;
}

I can´t seem to enable the event time (eg. 17:00-19:00 next to the event title), what might be the problem here?

Well, I assumed in month view and weeks view people might not need exact time, (Mirror is too small to display many things), So I disabled it by default.
Add this to your css/custom.css

div.CALEXT div.tableStyle div.eventContainer div.eventTime {
  display:block;
}

Phil_T

Thanks a lot for the quick response!

There should also be “Mariä Empfängnis” on the 8th of December, which isnt showing (maybe a problem with ä, ö and ü?).

Sorry for my confusing explanation. I meant for the calendar to cover the whole screen apart from a bar at the top for time and weather.

Thanks, the time is showing.

edit: furthermore, how can I stop the module from cutting off the bottom part?

A Former User

@Phil_T
For position, you can set your view position in config.

config: {
        system: {
          show: ["weeks"],
          locale: 'en',
        },
        views: {
          weeks: {
            position: "bottom_bar", // Set this as your wish.
            counts: 4,
          },
...

Hmmm… On my mirror, Mariä Empfängnis is shown well.
I suspect your configuration contains limit or overflow options.

See here. https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt/wiki/Manipulation-of-looks#viewlimit--viewoverflow

You could get idea how to optimize size in that page.

Anyway, 4 weeks and month view are frankly a bit large for mirror (I think.).

Wonderful, everyting works now. Thanks a lot!

MMM-CalendarExt not updating calendar events.**
I have configured two calendar views: “daily” and “upcoming”. I have set the redrawInterval to minimum: 60000 ms. I have two calendars: Private Google Calendar and local ics calendar file. When I update one or another of my calendars, my calendars don’t update at all. Updates happen only when I restart MMM from the beginning. For testing purposes I have also the “default” calendar in my configuration and it updates normally. For testing purposes I have added command 'self.sendSocketNotification(‘RESET_CALENDARS’) to the MMM-CalendarExt.js code inside the redrawTimer function. This dirty patch resets the calendars every 60 seconds, but I don’t think this is the right way to solve my problem. Please help.

@helmi
Well, I tested and found nothing problem.
So, I suspect there might be some errors in front-electron views. Front-view error(from any module) could cause interfering other modules working. You can test by npm start dev.

helmi

@Sean I have been using the ‘npm start dev’ and it shows no errors. From the console log I can see that the timer triggers as expected. From the Calendar.js log (terminal view) I can see that the calendars fetching happens only when I start MMM from the beginning.

helmi

@Sean FYI: I have removed all other modules, only MMM-CalendarExt existing. I have also removed local calendar file, only Google Calendar URL existing. I have done shutdown and restart (both Rpi and MMM) several times. Problem still exists. For me looks like problem is where the calendars fetching should trigger. They happen only once when I start MMM from the beginning.

A Former User

@helmi
Hmmmm… weird.

Anyway, Calendar fetching interval([calendar].interval) is different with front-view redrawing(system.redrawInterval). There is some possibility of you’ve been confusing.

helmi

@Sean Ok - So does that mean that the redrawInterval parameter (my setting 60000) has nothing to do with Calendar fetching interval? If so, could you please give me some testing procedure in order to test those parts of the code where the fetching interval is working (or for me: not working)? I have some coding experience, but js is not my best knowledge.
