Default calendar

aquaman

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

aquaman

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

aquaman

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

aquaman

Hmm… Starting to get embarrased

Can i provide you a ip an password on pm to log on?
