Default calendar
-
Hi,
I have used fb2cal (https://github.com/mobeigi/fb2cal) to create a local ics (facebook birthdays) for my default calendar module. But my calendar wont show this at all. I have managed to show other ics files from local destination, so that part works. My fb2cal ics is successful imported into google calendar, so I guess the ICS is more or less OK. The ICS file is temporary uploaded to http://elitek.no/elicraft/birthdays.ics (no sensitive information, just a lot of birthdays for those who are interrested to congratulate any of them ;-) )
I am running MM v2.9.0… -
@aquaman the calendar data looks fine…
where on your local system did you place that file? it MUST be under the modules/default/calendar folder
also, open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, select the tab labeled ‘console’ and scroll up to see if there are any errors reported, usually red text
-
Thank you for your reply.
I have the ICS file under /MagicMirror/modules. I have also downloaded another ics-file named basic.ics (from google calendar) in same folder. basic.ics works just fine, but birthdays.ics is not. I have now also tried both files in /default/calendar with same result (basic.ics works, birthdays.ics not…)
I cannot find any reported errors i developers window (console) about calendar at all… -
@aquaman after debugging, the problem is the file created by fb2ics has linux line ends (\n), but the code is looking for windows line ends (\r\n)
once I edited and saved with windows line ends it works
you could use unix2dos on it to convert the line ends
I have opened an issue and submitted a pull request to the ical parser github project for this

Ahh.
Thank you!
I have tried unix2dos with newline option, but no luck yet. Seems that there are no changes in the file after running the command. Propably need some more help from google ;-)
But thank you for your help so far :-) -
@aquaman you shouldn’t need to specify any options…
just
unix2dos filename
it will convert in place
or -ascii convert only line breaks (default)
unix2dos -ascii filename
-
Yes…
Done that…
Filesize is exactly same, however file date/time has been changed… -
@aquaman worked for me in both directions, no parm specified…
odroid@odroid:~/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar$ unix2dos birthdays.ics unix2dos: converting file birthdays.ics to DOS format...
and
odroid@odroid:~/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar$ dos2unix birthdays.ics dos2unix: converting file birthdays.ics to Unix format...
i then used Notepad++ to search for \r\n (windows) or \n (unix) linebreaks
found as expected -
Hmm… Starting to get embarrased ;-)
Can i provide you a ip an password on pm to log on?
