@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

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.

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?

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

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

Thank you, I will show you my code so you all can understand the mess I did :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

It was supposed to be ten minutes but because I was trying and adding and testing, I forgot to change it back

All calendar were working under the same name, however i thought it was the cause of the blank CX3 so that’s why i tried to create one version for each module as a last resort

//Calendar hidden Module

                firstDayOfWeek: 0,
                weekIndex: 0,
                weeksInView: 4,
                waitFetch: 1000 * 10, //	(ms) waiting the fetching of last calendar to prevent flickering view by too frequent fetching.
                refreshInterval: 1000 * 60 * 10, //	(ms) refresh view by force if you need it.
                glanceTime: 1000 * 60 * 10,	// (ms) Return to original view when you move to other moment by notification.

                }
        },

Now these 3 calendars seem not to be conflicting with CX3

{
			module: "calendar2",
			header: "CAL2",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
                        url: "CAL2"
                    },
				],
				maximumEntries: "2",
                wrapEvents: true
			}
		},
{
			module: "calendar2",
			header: "CAL3",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
                        url: "CAL3"
                    },
				],
				maximumEntries: "3",
                wrapEvents: true
			}
		},
{
			module: "calendar2",
			header: "CAL",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
                        url: "CAL"
                    },
				],
				maximumEntries: "5",
                wrapEvents: true
			}
		},

Sorry for the long message

I talked too fast, I pressed submit and the issue came back :anxious_face_with_sweat:
