calendarext timeline not loading

[mrdenmark]

i’m using mmm carousel and on the main page i have calendarext and a bunch of other modules,on slide1 i want to have all the same modules but change calendarext into timeline view but it doesn’t seem to be loading,i just get a gray box with the name of my calendar in in.
i read in another thread that calendarext2 cannot draw itself unless it is on the main page,is it the same problem with timeline? is there any workaround?

what i’m trying to achieve is month view on 1 slide and a more detailed weekly view on the next.are alternate modules the answer?
