SOLVED Calendar not updating

[FreelanceMKE]

New to coding so I’m sure I’m doing something wrong, but can someone please help me. I have the calendar module up and running with an iCloud calendar, but I cannot get it to update with the fetchInterval configuration. I also cannot get it to hide events that have already started with the hideOngoing and I also can’t get it to show the end times of events with the showEnd. Any advice would be appreciated. here is my code; it’s basically the default stuff with just the config options I wanted put into it. In this example I have the fetchInterval set to to 30 seconds just to test. When I add a new event to the calendar or delete one it doesn’t ever update. I have left it run for hours and it still does not update. Even the events that say something like “ends in xxx minutes” never changes. The only time I can ever get the calendar to update is if I quit MagicMirror and reload it.

{
			module: "calendar",
			header: "Upcoming Events",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
						maximumNumberOfDays: "3",	
						symbol: "calendar-check",
						fetchInterval: "30000",	
						hideOngoing: "true",
						showEnd: "false",
						url: "MY ICLOUD WEB CAL URL"
					}
				]
			}
		},

@FreelanceMKE true and false should not be in quotes, also fetchInterval and maximumNumberOfDays.

Only text strings need quotes

Thank you for the info I’ll give that a try! The max number of days does work if it’s in quotes so since I’m just learning. Is there a reason why it would work in quotes even though it shouldn’t be in quotes?

@FreelanceMKE u might have selected the default…

So… I don’t know for sure but even though in my testing I was telling it to update every 1 minute, just to see if it works, I think maybe part of the problem is how frequently apple updates the information as well. I have gotten the calendar to update but it’s at 5 minute intervals. Which in the long run will be fine as I don’t need it to update that often anyways. I appreciate the help everyone.
