MMM-Carousel not displaying

[mumblebaj]

@sdetweil Unless there is a 3rd one that we are not aware of…:face_with_monocle:

[sdetweil]

@mumblebaj yeh, I posted a fix to the one I was using, after it stopped working on 2.14
https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-Carousel/issues/31

[mumblebaj]

@sdetweil And there is this one as well:
https://github.com/schramkef/MMM-Carousel

[sdetweil]

@mumblebaj yep, thats the newest… 9months old, shbatm is 3 years, and the barnaby is 5 years old

[mumblebaj]

@sdetweil Lets see which one he is using. I am off to bed. Been a long day.

@sdetweil so do i need to upgrade my magicmirror ?

[pastormingle]

[sdetweil]

@pastormingle you need to get into the MMM-Carousel folder

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Carousel
git remote -v

[sdetweil]

@pastormingle no, shouldn’t have to

that error is typically from bad position:

[pastormingle]

@sdetweil OK it’s working now… Thanks for all the hard work… So I unistalled the shbatm version and installed the schramkef. now it’s working fine…

[sdetweil]

@pastormingle great… glad its working

I am trying to use the carouselId:“1” function on multiple calendars. But when in use i am getting a module load error… not sure i am doing this right…

code_text
```[{name:'calendar', classes:'zoom200', position:"middle_center", carouselId:"1"} ],
       {
			module: "calendar",
			colored: true,
                        header: "Mikes Calendar",
			position: "left",
                        timeFormat: 'absolute',
                        broadcastPastEvents: false,
                        fade: false,
                        showEnd: false,
                        color: '#ffffff',
                        config: {
                                carouselId:"1"
                                tableClass: "medium",
				calendars: [
					{
					  symbol: "calendar-day",
					  url:"https://outlook.office365.com/owa/f2033a09d6504d21833241fb44df8c3c@dxc.com/a53b29290ce3e0405428856/calendar.ics"

@sdetweil I am having an intermittent issue now with displaying my office 365 work calendar… Sometimes it comes back with an "error in calendar module check logs for more details. I don’t see anything in the development console… Any direction here, please?

[pastormingle]

@pastormingle i changed the time intervals on the fetch and that seems to have worked… thanks…

[sdetweil]

@pastormingle messages for fetching would be in the place u start mm

npm start or pm2

[pastormingle]

@sdetweil Thanks Sam…
Can you help me with an mmm-calendarext issue? I have a basic config for it and all I get is a blank screen… If I do console window it just hangs…

{
          module: 'MMM-CalendarExt',
          position: "center",
          config: {
           calendars: [
           {
      url:"https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/pastormike%40htni.org/private-349ihavethisblocked/basic.ics"
         }
          ]
  }
	},

@sdetweil Still not able to display… I ran the following command and it didn’t return any errors…

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt $ npm init -y

@pastormingle all that does is built the empty packjson,which will be used by the
npm install xxx -save

that second step is what fixes the missing library xxx once you figure out it’s name from the log messages.

ps. there are more than one potential missing library… so I teach u how to find it so next time you don’t have to post here to find the fix.
