Display monthly calendar and entries

@sdetweil said in Display monthly calendar and entries:

@cheapdad populate from a website… yes, google is a website.

the url needs to download an ICS file, which is what the calendar module reads to get the events

as for calendar-monthly

https://github.com/KirAsh4/calendar_monthly

that one appears JUST to draw the rectangular calendar box. no actual entries

That’s interesting because I thought I had it working in a long lost iteration of my config.js. All I’m looking for is the current month’s calendar, not any entries, i.e., the 4th is a thursday, etc. Any suggestion on how to accomplish that?

@cheapdad u want the grid?

then that module should do it… it has a debug mode
its pretty simple

[CheapDad]

How do I run it in debug mode? I don’t see that on github page.

[sdetweil]

@cheapdad add

debugging: true

to the module config section

in mmm-config, check the box for debugging

sorry, used wrong word, recheck code

@sdetweil said in Display monthly calendar and entries:

debug: true

So, I may be stuck on stupid. I enabled debug and ran MM. The monthly calendar didn’t load and I didn’t see anything different that would help me debug it.

[sdetweil]

@cheapdad sorry, notice I edited my post…

for this module its

debugging:true

[CheapDad]

@sdetweil Sorry, definitely stuck on stupid. F12 didn’t work when MM was running, but “developer tools” did. I got this from the console log:

Failed to load resource - 404

This is where the script is looking:

http://0.0.0.0:8080/modules/calendar-monthly/calendar-monthly.js

[sdetweil]

@cheapdad yes, as it should be…

I installed and copy/pasted his sample, and got this

did u git clone in the right place?

[CheapDad]

I did, but I’ll do so again to make sure that I’ve got all the correct files.

[sdetweil]

@cheapdad just look in the modules folder
is it there or not?

[CheapDad]

It’s there. I completely restarted the pi and that seemed to do it. Perhaps I made too many config changes without a restart and confused the pi.

I have the same issue described above, but the solution above does not work for me.

The Smart List is one I’ve set up to only show tasks which are due up to the current time - I don’t want to see all my tasks for later today on it. Using “Scheduled - within 1 day” clutters up my Smart List.

I’m sure this used to work as intended, but now, as far as I can tell, I can either have lots of (irrelevant) tasks which are not yet due, or I can have lots of (irrelevant) calendar events which are in the past.

[sdetweil]

@betinaj what module are you trying to use?

not clear from your post

[betinaj]

@sdetweil

I solved the problem with this, I needed a monthly template, and I would go there.

@betinaj FWIW, that module is where I got the inspiration to start MMM-Multimonth (I needed 3 months at a time, one forward, one back).

If you don’t care about events on the calendar, you could use my module and set it to one month (although, I’m playing with adding events from calendar).

If you do, there’s a much more elegant solution in MMRize’s MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda - it’ll take over display of both the built in calendar and a month of data in a mini calendar form, and is much more configurable.

Both of these are fully functional, will remain so, and are fully supported.
