UNSOLVED MMM-pages and calendarext2

mscrawford5

I have my calendar setup to rotate between a daily view and then 3 monthly views . I’m also using mmm-pages so that on the screen with the daily view I can have the rest of my modules showing and then the monthly view will only show it and the clock .
I have set both modules up to rotate at the same speed however they do not stay in sync . Any suggestion on how I can get these to rotate through at the same speed or any ideas of maybe a better setup ?

Not to try by time. Use notification.

Many people are asking me How to use this module with MMM-Pages.

Like this;

PAGE1

PAGE2

PAGE3

Let’s configure.

MMM-Pages

{
  module: 'MMM-pages',
  config: {
    modules: [
      ["clock", ],
      ["MMM-COVID-19", ],
      ["MMM-News", ],
    ],
    fixed: ["MMM-page-indicator", "MMM-CalendarExt2"],
    rotationTime: 1000 * 5,
  }
},

I’ve set 3 pages (page:0, page:1, page:2). Each has some other modules like clock. Now I’ll show a different view of MMM-CalendarExt2 in each page.

MMM-CalendarExt2

{
  module: 'MMM-CalendarExt2',
  position: "top_left", // meaningless.
  config: {
    rotateInterval: 0,
    updateInterval: 1000 * 60 * 60,
    calendars : [
      {
        name: "bundesliga",
        url: "webcal://www.google.com/calendar/ical/spielplan.1.bundesliga%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics",
        icon: "emojione-flag-for-flag-germany",
      },
    ],
    views: [
      {
        name: "VIEW1",
        mode: "daily",
        position:"top_right",
        slotCount: 1,
        calendars: ["bundesliga"],
      },
      {
        name: "VIEW2",
        mode: "weekly",
        position:"top_right",
        slotCount: 1,
        calendars: ["bundesliga"],
      },
      {
        name: "VIEW3",
        mode: "monthly",
        position:"top_right",
        slotCount: 1,
        calendars: ["bundesliga"],
      },
    ],
    scenes: [
      {
        name: "PAGE1",
        views:["VIEW1"],
      },
      {
        name: "PAGE2",
        views:["VIEW1", "VIEW2"],
      },
      {
        name: "PAGE3",
        views:["VIEW1", "VIEW2", "VIEW3"],
        className: "fakeScene"
      },
    ],
    notifications: {
      "PAGE_INCREMENT" : {
        exec: "sceneNext",
      },
      "PAGE_DECREMENT" : {
        exec: "scenePrevious",
      }
    },
  },
},

I made 3 views and put them into 3 scenes.
Then, see notifications section. When PAGE_INCREMENT is coming, sceneNext command is executed. easy.
The results are above pictures.
And, this is already explained in wiki of github.

One More Thing

Hey, I want page 3 empty. How to remove view or scene in that page?

I wrote className:fakeScene, in 3rd scene config. Let’s add this into your css/custom.css

.CX2.fakeScene {
  display:none;
}

Now, the 3rd scene will be displayed like this.

@Sean thank you so much ! I looked and couldn’t find anything in the wiki about notifications, but that worked perfectly .
Thank you again
