MMM-CalendarExt3

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

@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).

@luisestrada each sends out its own list of entries. maybe calext3 is replacing a with b with c

That’s exactly what i thought, so thats why I created 3 different modules by copying the entire module in a separate folder and renaming it, similar to this: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/14724/run-two-instances-of-the-same-module-sometimes-tutorial

but still, if I have 3 modules called, calendar, calendar1 and calendar2, it does it

@luisestrada
Well, I was worried about just that case when I developed this module - multiple calendar instances. I thought Nobody would use the calendar module like that. So I haven’t considered supporting that case. But I was wrong.

The current behaviour of this module is replacing whole events when the notification arrives, not combining each. So you cannot get proper whole events from multi-emitter of notifications.

I’ll modify the module in a few days to stack each event not replace it. Wait for a little.

@luisestrada
By the way, your configuration is not quite effective. Some options are located in the wrong place, some are invalid.

All module-specific user configuration should be placed in config: { ... }. Your waitFecth or eventTimeOptions and something more would not be applied.
there is no fetchInterval or rotateInterval option in CX3.
broadcastPastEvents is not for CX3 module but for calendar module.
refreshInterval: 1000 * 60 * 1 means redraw calendar every 1 minute. Is it really needed?

sdetweil

@luisestrada the info inside(event broadcast) is still the same
and u didn’t need to do the rename. it supports multiple instances

sdetweil

@MMRIZE u can see in config if multiple instances and maybe the ‘from’ on notification
