MMM-CalendarExt3

@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

@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

@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

@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

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

@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

@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)
