MMM-CalendarExt3

[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

@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:

I’m on my phone sorry if this is messed up. I’m getting this error trying to use ext3 and cannot find an answer. I’m sure it’s something easy but…
Config is same as example given.
I don’t know how to post pictures so hope this helps

@agrusap did u edit that file? never edit any module file or mm file.

ALL config goes in config.js

[MMRIZE]

@agrusap
Check your electron version(standalone) or browser version(server mode). This module is using a modern JS features, your JS engine might be somewhat outdated.

I have a problem with position: “bottom_center”,

if I place it at position: “middle_center”, the calendar is the whole width of the screen.
But not at position: “bottom_center”,

Note: I moved it to bottom_bar and its fine

[sdetweil]

@Screwyoudriver yes the regions are not all symmetrical…

@sdetweil
Thanks
it’s been a while since i did anything with the magicmirror.
so I forgot this

I also have a problem. I have a series of appointments on Tuesday and Wednesday. If I change one appointment in length with the same starting time, it shifts one hour back. The source is correct, the displaying hour on the MM is incorrect. Does anybody else have this problem?

[sdetweil]

@ThaliaFromPrussia CalExt3 displays events read and processed by the default calendar module.

this sounds like one of the utc/tinezone shift errors in one of the libraries we use.

can u download the ics file and extract those two appointments before and after the change so I can examine the issue?

to download the ics

curl -sL cal_url > sonefile.txt

then edit the somefile.txt

events look like

BEGIN VEVENT
.
.
.
END VEVENT

change anything that look personal
don’t change the times or uuid

if u don’t want to post the events here you can send it to me in a chat message or email.

my email is my userid at gmail.

@ThaliaFromPrussia thanks for the info… another library bug …

the event was set in summer time
the recurrence is in standard time

the library returned the repeating as

date :x , time :07:30

I fix this one, adjusting for std time adjustments

but on the recurrence

date: y, time:08:30

then the calendar module uses the tz, and it gets adjusted twice…
once for berlin utc+1, and once for std time adjustment

i haven’t figured out a way to fix this, the lib is not our code…

[ThaliaFromPrussia]

@sdetweil Thank you and let me know if there is a way to fix it.

[megagprime]

hi everyone, another dumb question from yours truly, i’m looking to get this original calendar layout… which i cant get from default module calendar either for some reason

how can i do this

[sdetweil]

@megagprime this calendar ?

[megagprime]

@sdetweil yes, any of the ext or even the original calendar module, whats the view for the simple list?

[sdetweil]

@megagprime that is the default calendar view.

you add your ical url to the module config, replacing the US holidays url…

note the ical url, not the embed url.

really simple. if u use Google calendar

open calendar.google.com on a PC
in left nav, hover mouse over your calendar name,
3 dots appear, click, select properties

new stuff appears right,
scroll down to sharing, ical
select the public or secret url click copy

that’s the url to use in mm

Does anyone have a working config for google calendar. The old code i had in EXT2 isnt working with the new EXT3.
In the new EXT3 one i cannot get any feedback from google.

[sdetweil]

@fedale ext3 does not read the calendar itself, like old ext2 did.
.ext3 depends on the default calendar to read the ics data and broadcast the events

so add your url to the default calendar module, and remove it’s position so it doesn’t show.
then ext3 will receive the broadcast message
