MMM-CalendarExt3

OK well this is fun. I was reading again and saw in the instructions about moving back to 1.2.6. SOOOOOO… I decided to give it a hoot. Well, now the calendar is showing up for me.

Not sure what this means.

just thought I would share.

Just need to fix the formatting now.

johnf@mm:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3 $ git checkout snap-1.2.6
Branch 'snap-1.2.6' set up to track remote branch 'snap-1.2.6' from 'origin'.
Switched to a new branch 'snap-1.2.6'

It might mean;

Your module was not properly installed. I think this would be the solution in your case generally.

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3
git checkout main
git pull
npm install
git submodule update --init --recursive

Or your MM (Or Chromium/Browser what you are using) is somewhat old, update it.

@MMRIZE

OK thanks. I just ran your suggestions and restarted MM. It is running.

I just installed MM last week and I used sdetweil’s install script. Also just ran the the update script he has. seems to only needing to update Node.js from v16.13.0 to v16.13.1.

Must have been something odd with the install of the module then.

Appreciate everyone’s help.

UPDATE 1.5.0

Now, the module has a new mode, day; it could show a relatively week-like view. You can adjust the beginning of the seven-day cells from today (or relatively by dayIndex).

@MMRIZE Thank you! That’s just what I wanted!

@MMRIZE
Is there a way to change the height of a calendar so it’s either nothing, or very thin?

Using the “manipulateDateCell” I get the desired effect of having an icon in the cell header, however I’d like to not have a “blank” entry in the day view (see picture)

MMRIZE

@bicolorbore586
What is that ‘blank’? I cannot guess what it is pointing. Could you show me a bigger picture? and to reproduce your case, send or show me the config and css with real ical urls. (eouia0819@gmail.com)

Have a question I’m hoping others may have seen and resolved.

Currently I run my MagicMirror in server mode and have popover enabled on my calendar. When I access from a computer with a mouse and click the individual calendar events the popover comes up as expected. When I access from my tablet the popover will not come up when I touch the individual events. Other modules I have such as MMM-OnScreenMenu responds appropriately to touch on the tablets.

I’m hoping others may have seen this and have a recommendation for what I should look at. I’m assuming there is a setting somewhere in one of the files I need to enable or define in some specific way in the config file.

Everything with the module otherwise works perfectly, just the one item I’m trying to resolve with popover when using with a tablet touchscreen.

Thank you

sdetweil

@aircliff it’s probable that the tablet doesn’t support the right level of JavaScript for the pop-up to happen

MMRIZE

@aircliff
I’m using new way to handle popover thing, the “popover” API which is suggested recently as standard, but not all the browser supports it yet.

sdetweil

@MMRIZE and tablets and TVs and fix devices are using fairly old browsers and don’t generally have any mechanism to upgrade them to the latest releases so it’s unlikely that the tablet will ever support the pop-up the same way as a native browser will

Hello, I hope that this is the correct place to ask about this…

I’ve been playing around with adding backgrounds to my CalX3 for US holidays (example of the Valentines background below):

Since the CSS is applying the background to a specific month/date combo I am unsure how I can accommodate holidays that occur on the same day but different dates each year (e.g., Thanksgiving, Labor Day, etc).

The below CSS is all the dates Labor Day could fall on, but this wouldn’t work unless I comment out the incorrect dates each year :/ any ideas/suggestions?

/* Labor Day - First Monday in September */
.CX3 .month_9.date_1,
.CX3 .month_9.date_2,
.CX3 .month_9.date_3,
.CX3 .month_9.date_4,
.CX3 .month_9.date_5,
.CX3 .month_9.date_6,
.CX3 .month_9.date_7,
.CX3 .month_9.date_8 {
  background-image: url("/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3/Backgrounds/LaborDay");
  background-position: center center;
  background-size: 60%;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Thank you!

There is the selector “.weekday_N”(0-6). ATM I cannot remember exactly but “weekday_0” probably is “Sunday” (or Monday), anyway try it.

CurlyQ12391

@MMRIZE,

That did the trick! Adding “weekday” prevented the image from populating on multiple cells :) This module is by far my favorite because of how customizable it is.

/* Labor Day - First Monday in September */
.CX3 .month_9.date_1.weekday_1,
.CX3 .month_9.date_2.weekday_1,
.CX3 .month_9.date_3.weekday_1,
.CX3 .month_9.date_4.weekday_1  {
  background-image: url("/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3/Backgrounds/LaborDay");
  background-position: center center;
  background-size: 60%;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

The only one I haven’t been able to figure out is Easter Sunday because it is the first between March 22 and April 25. I dont believe CSS can handle that type of logic, maybe JS but thats a little too complex for me. For now I will just leave Easter off the calendar.

@CurlyQ12391
I think it is possible with “manipulateDateCell”. I will show example after my return from a business trip in a few days.

  module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
  position: "bottom_bar",
  config: {

    manipulateDateCell: (dom, events) => {
      let date = new Date(+dom.dataset.date)
      if (date.getMonth() == 8 && date.getDate() == 2) { // specific cell by absolute date
        dom.classList.add('specialHoliday')
        dom.style.backgroundColor = 'red'
        // do whatever you want.
      }

      if (events.some(e => e.title.search("Gelber") > -1)){ // specific cell by event
        dom.classList.add('specialEvent')
        dom.style.backgroundColor = 'yellow'
        // do whatever you want.
      }
    }
  }

How can I delay the start of the MMM-CalendarExt3 module? I have the default calendar module showing and I can see the 3 calendars load events into it. The problem is CalendarExt3 starts while the calendars are still loading. I changed the refreshInterval to more frequent to deal with that, but really a delay start would be more efficient.

I supposed this would only be a problem while I am troubleshooting.

MMRIZE

@nekreg9
There is a configurable option “waitFetch”.
But I doubt your real issue would be that. Because, CX3 starts rendering after one calendar which has at least one event have fetched successfully. (and in a “waitFetch”, no more calendar is fetched)
So if your CX3 starts late, It means your events source provider(usually default calendar module) might have timing issue to fetch calendars(e.g. too frequent fetch cycles or something else)

Is it at all possible to alter the grid to only divide the screen into 5 sections? I was able to alter code to only show m-f, but the sat and sun sections are still there. Just completely blank. For the life of me I can’t figure out where in the code it sets this part up.
