Trying to display a month view with MMM-CalendarExt

[A Former User]

@CliffordW
Have you added this into your configuration?

system: {
  show: ["month"],
},

Show me your configuration of that module.

@Sean Thanks for trying to help. Now, when I start MM, I just get a blank screen.

@CliffordW
There is no position like “center” on magicmirror.
If you want to show “month” view, I recommend to set the position "fullscreen_below" or "bottom_bar".(fullscreen or bar) Other position is too or somewhat small to display month view.

I figured I was doing something dumb, thanks!

@Sean I have been working on trying to get MMM-CalendarExt to show up on a page using MMM-Pages. I have tried all the suggestions I’ve seen, but no luck. Would you mind seeing what I’m doing wrong?

I’m using the following 3rd party modules: (Just in case there is a known interference with these other modules.

• MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify
• MMM-page-Indicator
• MMM- pages
• MMM-Page-Selector
• MMM - PushBulletNotifications

I’m using this code from the configuration page.
{
module: ‘MMM-CalendarExt’,
position: “fullscreen_bottom”,
config: {
calendars: [
{
url: “http://mlb.am/tix/mariners_schedule_full”
}
]
}
},

I know I’m missing something simple. This looks like an amazing module and can’t wait to use it. I’ve tried almost everything I know. Thanks in advance for any support your have on this.

@Fr8Trayne
You need system.show filed to set which views to show.

config: {
  system: {
    show: ["daily", "upcoming"], // or any views you need.
    ...
  },
  ...
}

@Sean

Thanks I have added both the system and show with no results. To be completely transparent, in my testings I have gone from the simple example to fully writing out all configurations found on the Module’s configuration page without seeing anything. I’m just trying to see the module show up at all.

@Fr8Trayne
http://mlb.am/tix/mariners_schedule_full is expired so there is no event at all in that URL. If you want to test, try this url webcal://ics.fixtur.es/v2/tottenham-hotspur.ics

{
  module: 'MMM-CalendarExt',
  config: {
    system: {
      show: ["daily"],
    },
    calendars :[
      {
        url: "webcal://ics.fixtur.es/v2/tottenham-hotspur.ics"
      },
    ],
  }
},

@Sean Great! I got it to show up, but the moment I change the calendar to my public (yes I made it public) and the private calendar it disappears. It is in the .ics format. Almost there. Once I get this up I’ll work on the configurations. Thanks for your help sean.

@CliffordW were you able to get your google calendar to show up?
