@sdetweil I’ve been through those posts about the display error, but i will go back and try to troubleshoot again.

However, the calendar did just pop up, so now I can go tinker with the look and set up my interface. Thanks for your help.

@ccr41981 you’ve read the config doc?

https://github.com/MMM-CalendarExt2/MMM-CalendarExt2/blob/master/docs/Configuration.md

use the example, and your url .

also, this module suffers from a missing library ( that was removed from the base a couple releases back )

in the module folder (MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt2) do

npm install request --save

Works great now! Thanks for your help

@sdetweil One last question; would you know why CalendarExt2 doesn’t show up on the remote module? Not that I’d ever turn it off, just curious.

[sdetweil]

@ccr41981 on the remote?

[ccr41981]

@sdetweil MMM-Remote-Control, that allows you to display or hide modules?

[sdetweil]

@ccr41981 sorry, no idea

[ccr41981]

@sdetweil Ok, thanks. Just curious.

@ccr41981 it’s likely because how CX2 generates it’s positions. In short, it’s working AROUND the built in position system and kinda builds it own.

Hello,
I am having difficulties understanding how the deduplicateEventsOn works. I can get the configuration to make duplicated events not show; but how do I combine the entries under calendarName so the events show up “Bob/Jane/Sue/John” ? Or just “Everyone” ??

This is what I have that removes the duplication. Its at the very top of the module. Does it need to be somewhere else?

		{module: 'MMM-CalendarExt2',
			config: {
					rotateInterval: 45*1000,
					deduplicateEventsOn:["startDate","endDate","duration","title","location"],
					calendars: [

How to get quicker update of the google calendar in Magic mirror?

[sdetweil]

@fedale u can change the updateInterval… but note that too fast might get you denied for a while…

[fedale]

@sdetweil I tried that earlier without any result. And seemed like the only thing updating was the screen flickering

I put it under the module config in the config.js was that the correct postion?

[sdetweil]

@fedale ok, in the calendar its

fetchInterval

sorry,

doc always wins!

https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/calendar.html#configuration-options

[fedale]

@sdetweil I tried the fetchInterval. But have not been sucessfull with that one.

But everytime i save my config file it update at once.

Is there somewhere else than in the config.js file i need to change the fetchInterval?
