Will it be possible to pull out the birthday that is associated with a contact person from cloud. ???

AFAIK, impossible (at least, no automatic way);

First; This module is not for parsing calendar events but for showing events already parsed. It means other ics format parser (like the original default calendar module) has to do that work.

Second, The birthday calendar of iCloud contacts is not a general calendar which could be sharable. If you want to export the contact birthday to any normal calendar; export the contacts as VCONTACT(.vcf) format, then convert it to VEVENT(.ics) then import them to your target calendar. But I’m not sure there is any convenient converter for this job.

Tizen is using Chromium nowadays, but the version is a bit old. The latest Tizen 6.5(Model 2022) is still using M85. (Current the newest Chromium is M100, M85 was 2-years ago). And if your Samsung TV has some age, It probably is too old to run the modern JS features. (Model 2021 => M76, Model2020=>M69, …)

@MMRIZE Is there a way to show a rolling 4/5 week in the month mode? Basically something like -1 week to +3 weeks rather than showing basically the current month until that month is over.

Also, is there a trick to get the calendar to re-render completely on some interval? On my MM right now, it’s currently showing the current day in the 5th week (i.e. still showing April as the current month). If I restart MM, it will update to show May as current month, but doesn’t seem to do it automatically. I only have 1 scene so not using MMM-Scenes.

It sounds unexpected bug. Can you show(or send mail) the screenshot and config?

I will consider that option.

This seems unexpected behaviour. I need your configuration to represent it.

I think notification CX3_MOVE_CALENDAR with payload {step:0} would refresh current view , but it needs emission from other module.
Anyway, the view is refreshed by schedule of original calendar fetch. So I don’t think it needs self-refresh timer. And when we solve above unexpected behaviour, you don’t need self-refreshing.

@MMRIZE sometime yesterday the calendar finally refreshed so that May is the current month so it appears to have resolved itself. I’m not sure what would have finally triggered it but I’ll check my calendar settings.

Thanks for considering the rolling 5 week idea!

Well, shoot, here I am waiting for a new Daily and current view. 😢

If I could get the built in calendar to do what I want it to do, I’d be using that.

@MMRIZE Thank you for your answer. :)

Another question, where does this take the Spanish translation from? For some reason the number is not separated from the text.

It says “9de Mayo” instead or “9 de Mayo”

@luisestrada

This might be a help.

/* In your custom.css */
.CX3 .cellDate .dateParts.literal {
  margin-left: 5px;
}

- config option animationSpeed for update animation
ADDED : calendar symbol can be used. (config option useSymbole)

Just a couple of quick questions. First, how do you remove icons from events? I see in the sample pics that it’s been done, but I can’t seem to make it happen. Second, in CalExt2, I could style event borders and would show/color those instead of having a completely filled in event color. I could also show only certain borders (for full day I only had the left and bottom, but single day events only had the left border). Is that possible with CalExt3?

MMRIZE

@almightyyoshi

Not to use symbol: useSymbol: false

// config of your module;
...
config: {
  useSymbol: false,
...

Is this what you wanted?

/* in your custom.css */
.CX3 .event.fullday,
.CX3 .event.multiday {
  border-left: 4px solid var(--calendarColor);
  border-bottom: 1px solid var(--calendarColor);
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}

.CX3 .event.singleday {
  border-left:4px solid var(--calendarColor);
}

.CX3 .event.singleday:not(.useSymbol)::before {
  content: '';
}

@MMRIZE That’s perfect. Thanks. I just wasn’t sure if those attributes were available and I honestly just didn’t feel like experimenting at that moment. Last question (think): Is there a way to hide the default calendar module and still populate CX3. I found a way to hide the module (by editing the calendar module’s base config) on startup, but then CX3 doesn’t have any events. Here’s what I used (courtesy of @sdetweil from a thread a couple of years ago):

hidden: false, 


suspend: function(){
    this.hidden=true
},

restore: function(){
     this.hidden=false
},

notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, source){
   // this comes before the first call to getDom()
   if(notification === "ALL_MODULES_STARTED")
      this.hidden=true;
}.

getDom: function (){
var wrapper=document.createElement('div')
if(this.hidden==false){ 
     //create normal content
}
return wrapper;
},

@almightyyoshi I think you will have to use css to hide, vs code

MMRIZE

@almightyyoshi
You can hide it with CSS, or just drop out “position”.

almightyyoshi

@MMRIZE Dropping position worked. I thought I’d get an error or blank screen for that. Thanks again!

luisestrada

@almightyyoshi Every time i think this is fixed then it comes back again…

I have 3 calendars so I renamed calendar1 and calendar2, as I don’t want these calendars to conflict with CX3.
Then I have my calendar module and dropped the position as I don’t want to show it.
My CX3 loads empty and after a while the information appears, then it goes and then it comes back. I think I have not set up properly the refresh. I’ve tried many combinations but nothing works

{
module: “MMM-CalendarExt3”,
position: “bottom_bar”,
title: “Calendario”,
waitFetch: 10000, // (ms) waiting the fetching of last calendar to prevent flickering view by too frequent fetching.
refreshInterval: 1000 * 60 * 1, // (ms) refresh view by force if you need it.
glanceTime: 1000 * 60 * 1, // (ms) Return to original view when you move to other moment by notification.
//animationSpeed: 2000, // (ms) Refreshing the view smoothly.
rotateInterval: 0,
eventTimeOptions: {
timeStyle: “short”
},
fetchInterval: 1000,
config: {
mode: “week”,
instanceId: “WeeklyCalendar”,
locale: ‘es-CO’,
maxEventLines: 3,
firstDayOfWeek: 0,
weekIndex: 0,
weeksInView: 4,
broadcastPastEvents: true, // <= IMPORTANT to see past events
calendarSet: [‘Cal1’, ‘Cal2’, ‘Cal3’, 'Cal4, ‘Cal5’],
}
},

And Go Jays Go!! :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@luisestrada do you have 3 instances of
module:‘calendar’
?

Yes, I have 3 modules, the holidays (shows 3), the birthday calendar (shows 2) and the normal calendar (shows 8).
