MMM-CalendarExt3

[sdetweil]

@mike23pizzo it’s only set before the calendars list.

what mm version are u on? fix in latest 2.20 for events being truncated

[mike23pizzo]

@sdetweil when I start MM it says Starting MagicMirror: v2.21.0.

When you mention that it’s only set before the calendars list, do you mean as long as it’s listed in the config on the default calendar it should feed down to MMM-CalendarExt3?

EDIT: It seems the past events are now showing. I didn’t change anything in the config file, so I’m not quite sure what fixed it. But as of now they are there.

[sdetweil]

@mike23pizzo yes, in the common calendar config not with each calendar/url entry

glad it’s working… past events can be a big pile

I see just fromm 2015

My events are displayed in reverse chronological order in mode: “week”. Where is the setting the for this? I can post the config.js settings if necessary.

@DDE12
Only in week mode, does that symptom happen?
What’s your environment? (Platform, OS, Browser)

[DDE12]

@MMRIZE
Occurs in week and month modes. I am using Windows 10 and Firefox. I just tested it in Edge to see and it is in the correct order. I also looked at it Pale Moon browser (Firefox like fork) and it shows the date and reversed chrono order, but no time.

@DDE12 @sfb

Firefox has different behaviours with Chromium-based browsers(Chrome, Edge, Whale, …) in sorting algorithms.

The quick fix is to add eventSorter to your config for MMM-CalendarExt3 module.

// In your MMM-CalendarExt3 module config
eventSorter: null,

This will be fixed on next update.

@DDE12
For the displaying date and not-time issue;
I don’t know about the Pale Moon browser detail. It seems it has its own JavaScript Engine but is not compatible with current mainstream JS. It is still being developed prematurely, so many features which other browsers have are not implemented yet.

I found it on its homepage

It looks like Intl object(which is used to format date and time on this module) is not implemented fully yet.

@MMRIZE
Thanks! eventSorter fixed it in Firefox and it corrected the order in Pale Moon. Personally, I’m not too concerned about the date thing in Pale Moon. I just thought I would try MM there and see what it looked like.

I’m a noob…

I’m trying to create a MM for my wife. I want to display my family calendar in cx3 but I’m having troubles.
I’m using mmm-googleCalendar to access my family calendar and you can see it’s working when displayed in the bottom right but for some reason won’t display in cx3:

Here’s my config:

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? TIA

[sdetweil]

@katalopapi CX3 depends on the calendar module broadcasting the events it read. soCX3 doesn’t read the cal itself.

I don’t know if mmm-googlecalendar does the broadcast

u can setup the default calendar and not give it a position, but have it broadcast events

[katalopapi]

@sdetweil Thanks for the info:
“u can setup the default calendar and not give it a position, but have it broadcast events”
I assume you are saying I can display the family calendar using the default calendar module, is that correct? If so, do you have a pointer to start me in the right direction? I don’t see an ICAL associated with the google family calendar. I thought I needed mmm-googleCalendar for that.

“I don’t know if mmm-googlecalendar does the broadcast”
From the CX3 github readme:
Compatible with randomBrainstormer/MMM-GoogleCalendar
eventTransformer: (e) => {
e.startDate = new Date(e.start?.date || e.start?.dateTime).valueOf()
e.endDate = new Date(e.end?.date || e.end?.dateTime).valueOf()
e.title = e.summary
e.fulldayEvent = (e.start?.date) ? true : false
return e
}

Do I need to add the eventTransformer code to get it to add the googleCalendar events?
Thanks

[MMRIZE]

@katalopapi
There is some tip explanation on readme doc to use with google-calendar module.

[katalopapi]

@MMRIZE Do you have any example config you could share for using mmm-googleCalendar?

[sdetweil]

@katalopapi googlecalendar doc says broadcastEvents:true

[MMRIZE]

@katalopapi
We both posted at same time, so your previous post was right.

[katalopapi]

@MMRIZE I’m getting the following error:

I assume I’m doing something wrong with the transformer since it seems to be an issue with startDate. Here’s my config:

FYI
I had to manually update MMM-GoogleCalendar.js to enable broadcastEvents. I couldn’t seem to enable via the config.js (perhaps I did something wrong).

Any ideas regarding the error? TIA

[sdetweil]

@katalopapi all you had to do was add

broadcastEvents: true,

inside the module config: {}

section

as it is a module parameter and not a MagicMirror parameter (like position, disabled or classes)

[katalopapi]

@sdetweil Thanks! I had it before the config. Works after moving it.

I’ve figured out what was causing the error. The US holiday events didn’t have the same fields as the google calendar so the transformer was messing those event us. I’ve fixed it with the following transformer:
