MMM-Remote-Control can't hide MMM-CalendarExt2

MacG

For me, this is the first project with a Raspberry Pi. I am building a dashboard. MagicMirror is great and there are already modules installed that I hadn’t thought of before.

Now to my problem. I am using CalendarExt2 because I could not get the older CalendarExt to work. It looks fine so far, only I can’t hide CalendarExt2 with Remote-Control. It is also not offered to me at “Edit View”. With “Hide all” all modules disappear, except the CalendarExt2. With Remote-Control on the cell phone, however, CalendarExt2 can be found under “Updates”. Why not in “Edit View”? Is it possible to add this function somehow?

@macg u would have to ask the Remote control owner. post an issue to the module on github

@sdetweil Thank you, I just did.

Via another Issue, I came to a URL command that does what I wanted.

http://localhost/remote?action=HIDE&force=true&module=MMM-CalendarExt2

Show again works also.
http://localhost/remote?action=SHOW&force=true&module=MMM-CalendarExt2

Here is the answer from the programmer:

“What you can do, is use a custom menu to show or hide the module. You can read more about it in here
Or, to just get over it with some simple coding, set a class for that module.”

I will try it with class.

It works with class.

classes:  {
     "Hide and show Calendar": {
           toggle: ["MMM-CalendarExt2"],
           },
}

But there is a third possibility. I use CalendarExt2 only for one calendar in “views: []”. I copied its position under the line “modules = ‘MMM-CalendarExt2’,”. Now it is visible in the “Edit View” of MMM-Remote-Control. :)
