@MMRIZE

any idea why I can’t use this icon in this situation to set it up?

https://fontawesome.com/v5/icons/bowling-pins?s=solid

module: "calendar", // Built in
//position: "top_right",
config: {
	broadcastEvents: true,
	broadcastPastEvents: false,
	fetchInterval: 30000,
	maximumEntries: 20,
	customEvents: [{keyword: 'bowling', symbol: 'bowling-pins'}],
... 

Do I need to do the transform on your side, is it something else?

it does work with other icons, like “user”

thanks!

@BKeyport
I have no idea why this “bowling-pins” icon would not appear. maybe font-awesome CSS version issue?"

[luisestrada]

@BKeyport It’s a Pro icon, do you pay for it?

[BKeyport]

@luisestrada ahh, that must be it. Although I’ve had pro icons before.

[luisestrada]

Thank you very much.

It took me some time to figure out that I could use symbol: “blank”, to not to show any icon, I was getting an error because before, I was using symbol: null :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

It’s working exactly as I wanted :)

Small news.
Now it could get the events from randomBrainstormer/MMM-GoogleCalendar module also.

@MMRIZE Thank you all for your help! I got fresh copies of everything and was more careful when making changes, it now works which is great. The new issue I am having is it’s only displaying 11 appointments, 10 Google calendar and 1 US Holiday. When I delete an event the next one later down the calendar shows up. Is there a setting to set the max entries or something to that nature?

@nmacd My bad just found it, the default calendar had the limit, all set thanks again

Hi
I would like to know how to make the calendar smaller. As you can see in the picture, my tv is in portrait, and the calendar takes up a lot of space. Where and what changes in custom css could I make to make it smaller and more rectangular? Thank you.

[MMRIZE]

@techlady
Adjust ‘maxEventLines’ and ‘eventHeight’. The heighr of day cell would be calculated by maxEventLines x eventHeight.

Hi Guys,

Just installed a brand new MM instance and downloaded the latest MMM-CalendarExt3 but for some reason i get no entries from my google calendars…

I get entries if i setup MMM-CalendarExt2 or the default calendar but not on MMM-CalendarExt3…

Here is my Config

{
  module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
  position: "bottom_center",
  config: {
    mode: "month",
    instanceId: "basicCalendar",
    locale: 'en-UK',
	fontSize: '25px',
	refreshInterval: 10000,
    maxEventLines: 5,
    firstDayOfWeek: 1,
    calendarSet: ["KD", "Tini"],
		}
	},
	{
  module: "calendar",
  config: {
    broadcastPastEvents: true, 
    calendars: [
	{
			name: "KD",
			className: "KD",
			url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/basic.ics",
			color: "green"
		},
		{
			name: "Tini",
			className: "tini",
			url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/basic.ics",
			color: "pink"
		},
	]
	}
      },

@KD if you use the calendar url in a browser, it should download a file, just text. you an edit that to see if there are events

[KD]

@sdetweil Hi there - i can download the file by putting the URL in the browser and open it in Outlook and see the events…

Also, I use both URL’s in another 2 magic mirrors I have in the house… I’m confident it’s not the URL’s

[sdetweil]

@KD ok, this looks like the bug I introduced in 2.20. fixed in 2.21, October 1

broadcastPastEvents loads up the past events then the new, and the bug cuts off after the 1st maximumEntries

so u have to increase maximum entries

[KD]

@sdetweil Thanks Sam - do you mean “maxEventLines”?

If yes I have set them up to 10 now and still nothing

  module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
  position: "bottom_center",
  config: {
    mode: "month",
    instanceId: "basicCalendar",
    locale: 'en-UK',
	fontSize: '25px',
	refreshInterval: 10000,
    maxEventLines: 10,
    firstDayOfWeek: 1,
    calendarSet: ["KD", "Tini"],
		}
	},

[sdetweil]

@KD no in the base calendar module. default
maximumEntries defaults to 10,
that is where you have broadcastPastEvents:true

[KD]

@sdetweil Thank you Sam, i tried that and still nothing…

Here is my config now:

{
  module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
  position: "bottom_center",
  config: {
    mode: "month",
    instanceId: "basicCalendar",
    locale: 'en-UK',
	fontSize: '25px',
	refreshInterval: 10000,
    maxEventLines: 10,
    firstDayOfWeek: 1,
    calendarSet: ["KD", "Tini"],
		}
	},
	{
  module: "calendar",
  config: {
    broadcastPastEvents: true, 
    maximumEntries: 100,
    calendars: [
	{
			name: "KD",
			className: "KD",
			url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/basic.ics",
			color: "green"
		},
		{
			name: "Tini",
			className: "tini",
			url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/basic.ics",
			color: "pink"
		},
	]
	}
      },

[sdetweil]

@KD for the short term add

position: “top_left”,

to the calendar module location

let’s make sure it is working

[KD]

@sdetweil Thanks Sam - I now get Loading… than “error in the calendar module check log for more details” and finally no upcoming events… not sure how I have broken it as it was working yesterday… i also tried to replace the default calendar with

git checkout modules/default/calendar/calendar.js

As per one of your other posts in the forum but got "updated 0 (zero) paths from the index…

[sdetweil]

@KD u have to be I the MagicMirror folder for the git checkout to work

you should not have changed that file anyhow

all config is done thru config.js

can u show the output where u start mm?

either npm start
or if you use pm2, then

pm2 logs --lines=50

calendarext3, gets it’s info from the default calendar. so if it has problems, then u get nothing
