Calendar Color

[strawberry 3.141]

@billp100 are you using the develop branch? this feature is currently not merged in the master branch

[billp100]

@strawberry-3.141 That’s it then. I didn’t realize that. Is there away for me to get that feature without having to start over?

[strawberry 3.141]

@billp100 to use the develop branch you just have to do the following

cd ~/MagicMirror
git fetch
git checkout develop
git pull
npm install

[billp100]

@strawberry-3.141 I just did those steps and got an npm WARN grunt-yamllint@0.2.0 requires a peer of grunt@~0.4.0 but none was installed message

[billp100]

Got it! thank you for your help

Great discussion. I have also added the options to add color the my two calendars, without success. Does anyone know if color is active in the current code? Here is my config setup:

{
    module: 'calendar',
    header: 'My Calendar',
    position: 'top_left',
    config: {
    	colored:  true,
	calendars: [
		{
		symbol: 'calendar ',
		url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/.../basic.ics',
		color: '#f70000'
		},
               	 {
		symbol: 'calendar-o ',
		url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/.../basic.ics'
		color: '#04f448'
             		},
                    ]
            }
},

Many thanks

@Mitch1138 its still in the develop branch only

[Mitch1138]

That was fast, thanks very much. How can you tell when it is released?

Thanks

quick question on this issue…it the function already released? I can’t get it to work :( My config is:

 {
            module: "calendar",
            colored: true,
            header: "Termine",
            position: "top_left",
            config: {
                displaySymbol: true,
                timeFormat: "absolute",
                getRelative: "0",
                urgency: "0",
                dateFormat: "DD.MM HH:mm",
                FullDayEventDateFormat: "DD.MM",
                fetchInterval: "5000",
                fade: false,
                calendars: [
                    {
                        symbol: "mars",
                        color: '#f70000',
                         url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar...",
                    },
                    {
                        symbol: "venus",
                        color: '#f70000',
                        url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar...",
                    },
                    {
                        symbol: "clock",
                        color: '#f70000',
                        url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar...",
                    },
                    {
                        symbol: "globe",
                        color: '#f70000',                        
                        url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar...",
                    },
                    {
                        symbol: "cocktail",
                        color: '#f70000',
                        url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar...",
                    }
                ]
            }
        },

Hello Aries,
have you found a solution for this problem? I have started my Mirror Build today and achieved a lot of good working things. But the calendars are driving me nuts. First test with MMM-MyCalendar failed because of incorect displayed times (11 or 25 minutes off). Never the less that one had colors. Now i switched back to the “default” calendar, and at least the times are properly shown (despite the fact the the absolute or relative Parameters are doing nothing…). Unfortunately it is not possible to change the colors of the different url’s.
So please drop me a line if you found a solution to it. Or if not “Same problem here +1”

Thanks a lot

@LeFreak76 , I found a solution that worked for me: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/develop/modules/default/calendar#calendar-configuration

Basically, you need to add colored and coloredSymbolOnly settings/values. Then you can add the color setting with the hex code for each calendar.

[rally]

@strawberry-3-141 What does that mean?
It’s not available?

[Mrc]

Go to folder MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar , edit calendar.js , change values colored and coloredSymbolOnly to “true”

[sdetweil]

@Mrc do NOT edit the module source files to change configuration.

put the settings in the config section for that. module in config.js

{
module:'calendar',
config:{
    colored:true,
    coloredSymbolsOnly:true
}
}

Any one know why all of the calendar entries are being assigned Mom’s color instead of their own?

module: "calendar",
			header: "Family Schedule",
			position: "top_center",
			config: {
				colored: true,
				calendars: [
					{
						symbol: "calendar-check",
						url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics"					
					},
					{
						 symbol: "Dad's Calender",
							url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/basic.ics",
							color: '#6600CC'
					},
					{
						symbol: "Mom's Calender",
							url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/basic.ics",
						color: '#ff0000'
					},
					{
						Symbol: "A's Calender",
							url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/basic.ics",
						color: '#00ff00'
					},
					{
						symbol: "J's Calender",
							url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/basic.ics",
						color: '#40E0D0'
					},
					{
						symbol: "L's Calender",
							url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/basic.ics",
						color: '#ffd700'
					}	
				]
			}
		},

@RJDaPirate

the code looks up the color using the url as a key…

all of your urls are the same so you will get results based on the url, where the name is stored last. M is higher than any other string, so the url will match that in the hash lookup

[RJDaPirate]

@sdetweil I deleted the personal settings within the urls. They are all different in the real config.js file.

[sdetweil]

@RJDaPirate the code does this

if (this.config.colored && !this.config.coloredSymbolOnly) {
				eventWrapper.style.cssText = "color:" + this.colorForUrl(event.url);
			}

	colorForUrl: function (url) {
		return this.getCalendarProperty(url, "color", "#fff");
	},

[RJDaPirate]

@sdetweil This is not visible in the config.js file. Earlier in the thread you instructed another user not the change settings in source instead of the config.js. Where are the setting you highlighted?

[sdetweil]

@RJDaPirate i am just showing the code that uses the settings from config.js… not changing it…

this.config.colored
u have colored: true, in config.js calendar config section

then it looks up color value by url…

if not found it return #fff as the color…

u have 6 digit color values…
