MMM-Events : nothing to display on my Magic Mirror

RIKKO14 · Sep 5, 2020, 4:13 PM

Hello,
I just installed the MMM-Events module and no events are displayed on my MM it remains blocked with “upcoming Events”:

I created an API key :

here is my config.js:

		{
				module: 'MMM-Events',
				position: 'top_left',
				config: {
				city: "Caen",	           // Your City
				eventType: "music,movies_film,art", // One or more, seperated by commas. Choose from Events List below
				when: "This Week",                 // "All", "Future", "Past", "Today", "Last Week", "This Week", "Next week", and months by name, e.g. "October"
				mode: "noFrame",                   // "Frame" or "noFrame" (around picture)
				apikey: "Pq4n9Vh5zbshSVfS",
				rotateInterval: 5 * 60 * 1000,     // New Event Appears every 5 minutes
				useHeader: true,	           // Set to true if you want a header
				header: "Spectacle a proximité",
				animationSpeed: 3000,              // Event fades in and out
				picture: true,                     // true, false = no image
				}
			},

after typing the commands pm2 restart mm a reboot of my raspberry and created a new API Key always nothing…

Can you help me ?

by changing the city “Caen” (I live in Caen in Normandy) for “Paris”, it works, it is therefore my city which is not recognized.
Any idea to solve the problem ?

If the api does not recognize your city then you will have to choose a city as close to you as possible that does work. This is not something that can be fixed by the module, sorry.

RIKKO14 · Sep 6, 2020, 6:52 AM

however when I go to the website: https://eventful.com/caen/events
I did have some results (I tried eventful Movies but nothing found even in Paris …).
Maybe it’s a city precision problem? if MMM-Events could specify “city, country” (Caen, France), that might work, right?

Mykle1 · Sep 7, 2020, 1:27 AM

@RIKKO14

In theory, yes, but it does not seem to accept Caen, France.

From the api documentation:
location string
A location name to use in filtering the search results. Locations in the form “San Diego”, “San Diego, TX”, “London, United Kingdom”, and “Calgary, Alberta, Canada” are accepted, as are postal codes (“92122”) and venue IDs (“V0-001-000268633-5”). Common geocoordinate formats (“32.746682, -117.162741”) are also accepted, but the “within” parameter is required in order to set a search radius. (optional)

RIKKO14 · Sep 7, 2020, 6:57 AM

@Mykle1
and how to put the «within» parameter with the Common geocoordinate formats (“32.746682, -117.162741”) ? it’s more easier with this.
(optional) = it’s a eventful option ? I’m not a developper so I can’t modify the module.

Mykle1 · Sep 8, 2020, 1:48 AM

@RIKKO14

I will take a look at it when I have the time.

Mykle1 · Sep 9, 2020, 12:27 AM

@RIKKO14

Ok, I’ve updated the module and tested it for your area. Run git pull in the MMM-Events directory. Things to mention:

Use the new config entry. I used the coordinates for Caen, France.
There are not many ‘hits’ for your area. Try using different eventType’s in the config.
Increase the radius for possibly more events. I set it to 100km.
There is a placeholder image for when the api does not provide an image for the event.

Mykle1 · Sep 9, 2020, 2:04 AM

@Mykle1

Regarding item #4 in my previous post. If you would rather use a placeholder image of your own (for when the api does not provide an image) you can make or find one and name it ‘go.jpg’. Put that in the modules ‘icons’ folder. However, I caution you to make the replacement image the same dimensions as the default image. Otherwise, the formatting of the module may get screwed up.

RIKKO14 · Sep 9, 2020, 11:15 AM

I 've made a mistacke but I don’t know where :
As you said I run git pull

I change in my config.js :

but I have this : it is not events for Caen :

if i change config.js :
city:"Caen, France", : it’s doesn’t work

and how to Increase the radius ?
