YOU ROCK! Thank you!

Hey does anyone know how to change text on the calendars?

I’m using the ‘Current’ event, but it looks kind of confusing as it says ‘In 50 minutes’, which makes it seem like the event is in 50 minutes, but really ends in 50 minutes

With MMM-CalendarExt, it’s not so easy. You just use useRelative:0 to display normal time. Anyway “CURRENT” event will not be thing of “START IN FUTURE”, It is already started and be a kind of “END IN FUTURE” things. “CURRENT” means that.

How about using MMM-CalendarExt2? That is new build-up and the feature can be configurable and customizable by configuration.

Hi,

Little help please,

Is there a way to show the event start time in the same space as the even name?

More detailed adjusting might be needed, but commonly see this.

And, add onlyStartingTime: 1, in your view configuration

Seems I cannot get the module to load. tried a few things, but it is just blank. I have the latest version of MM

@isaac2004 I need log or more detailed info to catch what happened.

mmmmh

I successfully use the module on two other screens. I just set up a new one without tweaks and I run into the following error in the console (nothing gets loaded, server-side there are no errors being logged):

@mmmmh did you set a position of view? your error says there might be an issue. I’m on a business trip now so i cannot check at this moment. later i’ll look inside.

mmmmh

@Sean yes, I set it to top_left:

{
            module: 'MMM-CalendarExt',
            position: "top_left", //anywhere. It is not related to real position of view
            classes: "default standard everyone",
            config: { // Read below
                system: {
                    show: ['current', 'upcoming'],
                    locale: 'de',
                    showEmptyView: 0,

                    redrawInterval: 300000, 
                },
                defaultView: {
                    position: 'calendar',
                    positionOrder: -1,

                    dateFormat: "ddd, D. MMM",
                    fullDayEventDateFormat: "ddd, D. MMM",
                    ellipsis: 0,
                    limit: 20,
                    oneLineEvent: 1,
                },
                views: {
                    current: {
                        title: "Now...",
                        direction: "column",
                        showEmptyView: 0,
                        useRelative: 0,
                    },
                    upcoming: {
                        title: "Was steht an...",
                        direction: "column",
                        useRelative: 0,
                        overflowHeight: 0,
                        overflowRolling: 0,
                    },
                },
                calendars: [
                    {
                        name: "XXXX",
                        symbol: "male",
                        styleName: "style24",
                        url: "redacted",

                        auth: {
                            user: 'redacted',
                            pass: 'redacted',
                            method: 'basic'
                        }
                    },
                    
                ],

            },
        },

Don’t worry, it’s not urgent.

@mmmmh

Well, I tried with yours and it works.
But two things you probably have wrong.

url: "redacted", is it right? it will make parsing error and it could be reason of your front error message.
showEmptyView:1 will affect on only system level, not view level. You’ve set showEmptyView:0 in system, so empty view will not appear.

mmmmh

@Sean thanks for making the effort to test it. I went the same way now. I removed everything and picked a public trash collection calendar (nice idea of yours) - still the same error. (I also commented out the showEmptyView options.)

The error appears locally (RPI3+) as well as in web browsers of all flavors.

Here’s the full config file:

    address: "",

            classes: "default standard everyone",
            config: { // Read below
                system: {
                    show: ['current', 'upcoming'],
                    locale: 'de',
                    // showEmptyView: 0,
                    fullDayEventLocalize: 1,
                    redrawInterval: 300000, 

                },

@mmmmh i’m on business trip now, after back home, i’ll try your new config.

Is there a way to repaint the calendar module? I am working on hiding/showing the module with voice control, and for the life of me, I can’t get the UI to repaint after hiding. module.show() is not available in the module so it is not as simple as that

A Former User

@isaac2004
Sorry, I cannot catch your point. MMM-CalendarExt can be hidden and revealed by .show() and .hide(). “module.show() is not available in the module” what this means?

A Former User

@Sean said in MMM-CalendarExt:

did you set a position of view? your error says there might be an issue.

@mmmmh I don’t know why I missed it. As I’ve said, you have a wrong on position.

defaultView: {
                    position: 'calendar',

position should be region name like top_left, bottom_bar, … Modify it.

(I’m in London now, so the time of events in screenshot will not match with the German time)
