MMM-CalendarExt2

@Clubjack
MMM-CalendarExt should exist on all the pages. And give it an order to change scenes by notification from whatever(mmm-pages?)

@Clubjack
I just looked inside MMM-Pages(edward-shen/MMM-pages) shortly, It has no feature to emit notifications about current page sequence to other modules. It has PAGE_NUMBER_IS but it is only as the response of QUERY_PAGE_NUMBER. So there is no way to recognize which page at that moment. So CalendarExt2 cannot know what scene to show.
My previous answers are somewhat confused because MMM-Page-Selector(Veldrovive/MMM-Page-Selector) has PAGE_CHANGED to inform the current page when page is changed.

Hi @Sean
After the syntax corrections you highlighted my MM was working fine. Today I added an entry into one calendar and it did not show up on my MM. I looked at the log and the [CALEXT2] tasks are not showing up to query any calendars.

I went and looked at my mm-out.log file and found some strange messages.

[CALEXT2] calendar:BOPA >> Scanning start with interval:60000
[CALEXT2] calendar:BOPA >> Scanned: 7, Selected: 7
[CALEXT2] calendar:Chris >> Scanning start with interval:60000
[CALEXT2] calendar:Chris >> getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN calendar.google.com calendar.google.com:443
[CALEXT2] calendar:Kim >> Scanning start with interval:60000
[CALEXT2] calendar:Kim >> getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN calendar.google.com calendar.google.com:443
[CALEXT2] calendar:BOPA >> Scanning start with interval:60000
[CALEXT2] calendar:BOPA >> Scanned: 7, Selected: 7
[CALEXT2] calendar:BOPA >> Scanning start with interval:60000
[CALEXT2] calendar:BOPA >> Scanned: 7, Selected: 7

It appears that when the getaddrinfo… messages appear that the calendar is no longer accessible to the module and it is no longer scanned. Above I show the message for 2 calendars but eventually every calendar I have programmed gets this error message.

What is happening and is there a way to automatically recover from this error?

Note: it looks like this may be a Google issue but I am wondering if there is a way to elegantly handle the error or get a notification that an error occurred? It also happened to different calendars at different times so I don’t think it was an issue with my network.

Edit: further inspection this may be a local network issue. Would still like to know if there is a way to recover from these errors.

I have a calendar showing week view. But cannot get event text to overflow. Help would be appreciated. TIA

I’m having trouble getting MMM-CalendarExtTimeline to populate. The CalendarExt2 is filled in. Here is what I have in my configuration (with my personal info blocked out) and what I am seeing on my screen. Any ideas?

hey, @Sean Did you happen to miss this?

I’m trying to add an ICS file, but it’s throwing an error, but other calendars accepts it.

The url is http://www.tax.gov/calendar/employer/calendar.ics

Log from PM2 LOGS shows this error:

[CALEXT2] calendar:irs >> invalid date-time value: “2016-12-30T::”

Is it the US Government not knowing what’s going on, or is it a bug in the code?

Thanks!

seems wrong.

@BKeyport
Sorry for the late answer. I was hospitalized due to my broken ankle, so I couldn’t inspect.
The issue looks like invalid format of ics. Unfortunately, iCAL format is not so strict (despite of standard rule, RFC-5545, RFC-5546 and so many standards), some iCAL could have ambiguous formats. Well, my parser cannot understand yours. At this moment, I have no time to fix it. (Or, … I’m not sure it should be fixed.) Sorry.

[BKeyport]

@Sean oh, damn man. Hope the ankle heals quickly and cleanly. What did you do?

Glad to know what’s going on with the code, noting it’s the gov not knowing how to format the iCal (Not a surprise, actually). It would be wonderful if it could be understood and fixed, give your module some more flexibility to handle screwed up ical.

Again, get well soon!
