MMM-CalendarExt2

@BKeyport its an empty file… I can add it with the installer… if not present then touch to create the file…

[BKeyport]

true, forgot it started out empty. Back to MMM-CalendarExt2 here, I guess.

all I know is that I’m glad to hear I’m not going crazy for not seeing the custom.css. lol

So, all day yesterday, I had everything working with just one calendar and the MM working find. Today, I tried adding three other calendar to the code and now I’m getting a screen that’s telling me the “Must create a config file”. I must have done some syntax wrong that I’m just not seeing. Anyone show me what I’m doing wrong? I removed my url links. Here is my whole config file code…

@Turtle after each name: line needs to end with a comma ,

@sdetweil - after putting the post up there, I saw that and added them. Also, added quotes around module name “MMM-CalendarExt2”.

But I’m still getting the same message.

[Turtle]

@sdetweil - wait a minute…do you mean after the name as in “Turtle’s Calendar”? I have them after each of the URL.

[Turtle]

@sdetweil - thank you again…I got it up and working. Just got to do some tweaking!

[sdetweil]

@Turtle yes.

One thing to think about, as u encounter errors, is … What did I do last?

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil and “config check is cool” 😏

[sdetweil]

@BKeyport once u know how to read it!

[Turtle]

I’m confusing myself with all these examples I’m looking out from the main documentation to other people’s examples. When MM starts, I get the monthly calendar the entire screen but with none of my information from any of the four calendars that I have. Also, I do get the “Upcoming” view in the top_left hand corner with only my information from “Turtle’s Calendar” but not the other calendar. Here is my code…

config: {
    				calendars : [
      					{
					name: "Turtle's Calendar",        					
					url: "",
      					},
					{
					name: "Work Calendar",
					url: "",
					},
					{
					name: "Bill Calendar",
					url: "",
					},
					{
					name: "Payday Calendar",
					url: "",
					},
    					],
    				views: [
      					{
						name: "MONTHVIEW",        					
						mode: "month",
						position: "bottom_bar",
						calendars: ["Turtle's Calendar", "Work Calendar", "Bill Calendar", "Payday Calendar"],
      					},

					{
						name: "DAILYVIEW",        					
						mode: "upcoming",
						Title: "Upcoming Events",
						slotCount: 10,
						hideOverflow: false,
						filterPassedEvent: true,
						calendars: ["Turtle's Calendar", "Work Calendar", "Bill Calendar", "Payday Calendar"],
      					},
    					],
    				scenes: [
      					{
        					name: "DEFAULT",
						views: ["MONTHVIEW", "DAILYVIEW"],
      					},
					
    				],
  			},
		},
		
	]

@Turtle
I suspect maxItems of each view, but not confirm the reason without real ical data. send me your ical’s URL to inspect what happens. (eouia0819@gmail.com)

@Sean - it was sent. Thank you!

[A Former User]

@Turtle

@Sean - it was sent. Thank you!

Result of Inspection.

It seems

• Turtle’s Calendar - Personal Public calendars
• Other 3 Calendars - Has only access allowed to Your G Suite Group.

In this case; the other 3 Calendars’ ical addresses will not be accessible from externs.

For example; Open the browser and put the URL of your “Work calendar” in the address form. It will show 404 error
In your Google Calendar settings, you can see warns.

Warning: The address won’t work unless this calendar is public.

This weekend I’m going to be working some more on the MM especially the CSS to get the calendars the way I want. So, I’m going to be making the “custom.css” file. Which of the current “.css” file am I going to us to fill the “custom.css” file? Also, on the next updating of MM am I going to lose the “custom.css” file?

Turtle

[sdetweil]

@Turtle no. Custom.css is no longer tracked, so u won’t lose it. The updater script also saves it.

Custom.css starts out empty, so u add whatever u need.

[BKeyport]

@Turtle find what you want to modify in the existing css files, then copy them over to custom.css - example:

/* Bottom Bar Adjustments */
.region.bottom.bar {
	background-color:rgba(0,0,0,.90);
}

/* Left adjustments */
.region.left {
	text-align: center;
}

[Turtle]

Thank you @sdetweil and @BKeyport for the information.

[BKeyport]

@Sean Is there a way to center the title for “daily” view? Normally, I’d just use .css for the region, but that doesn’t work with your module.

Thanks!
