Is this what you want?

What a coincidence.
Yesterday, a user asked me how to manipulate day-cell and remove events together at the same time. It is ideally the same with your purpose.

To reach your goal; 1) extracting an icon from an event and 2) putting it into the daycell would be needed.
However, manipulateDayCell is executed after all events processes are done, so it cannot be achieved with CX3 alone. With manipulateDayCell, you can extract icons and inject them into the daycell, but you cannot remove original events together easily.

With MMM-ModuleMonkeyPatch, you can remove events after rendering (before revealing)

/* In MMM-CalendarExt3 config */
  manipulateDateCell: (cellDom, events) => {
    let body = cellDom.querySelector('.cellBody')
    Array.from(events).forEach((e) => {
      if (Array.isArray(e.symbol) && e.symbol.length > 0) {
        let icon = document.createElement('span') 
        icon.className = e.symbol
        body.appendChild(icon)
        icon.style.color = e.color
      }
      
    })
  },
  maxEventLines: 1,

/* MMM-ModuleMonkeyPatch */
{
  module: "MMM-ModuleMonkeyPatch",
  config: {
    patches: [
      {
        module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
        method: "getDom",
        patch: function (original, args) {
          let dom = original(args)
          let target = Array.from(dom.querySelectorAll('.event')) || []
          target.forEach((e) => {
            e.style.display = 'none'
          })
          return dom
        }
      }
    ]
  }
},

These codes are just concept-proof. There are many holes like overflowed events, order of events, … I bet you can improve codes for your purpose.

[BKeyport]

@MMRIZE that would be perfect, yes.

[BKeyport]

@MMRIZE actually, I don’t need to extract - the symbols are set by default Calendar app, so I’d be using “useSymbol:True” to get them only.

I am having trouble integrating MMM-CalendarExt3 with MMM-GoogleCalendar.
I’m not sure what else is required other than adding a “name” to the Google Calendar and then listing that in the “calendarSet” parameter in CalendarExt3.

Can anyone point out what I am missing?

Here is my config:

{
            module: 'MMM-GoogleCalendar',
            header: "Family Calendar",
            position: "top_left",
            config: {
                maximumEntries: 4,
                broadcastPastEvents: true,
                calendars: [
                  {
                    symbol: "calendar-week",
                    calendarID: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX@group.calendar.google.com",
                    name: 'famCal',
                  },
                ],
            }
        },
        {
            module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
            position: "bottom_bar",
            title: "Family Calendar",
            config: {
                mode: "week",
                instanceId: "basicCalendar",
                calendarSet: ['famCal'],
            }
        },

I see the List view from MMM-GoogleCalendar, but I just get a blank calendar from MMM-CalendarExt3

[MMRIZE]

@XDmToter
Read this. https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-CalendarExt3#compatible-with-randombrainstormermmm-googlecalendar

By the way, this is a pure question.
Google Calendar provides iCAL format(.ics), so the default calendar module can also parse it. Why people use MMM-GoogleCalendar instead of the default calendar? Is there any special thing?
I ask this because one of the most frequently asked issues is how to use with MMM-GoogleCalendar.

[MMRIZE]

@XDmToter
Anyway, I requested PR of MMM-GoogleCalendar to solve this incompatible broadcasting. When @randomBrainstorm adopts the PR, this issue will be solved.

[XDmToter]

@MMRIZE Thank you for your reply. As I understand it, in order to use an ICal URL from Google Calendar, you have to make your calendar Public. Using MMM-GoogleCalendar is Authenticated using an API Token, so your calendar does Not need to be public.

I tried adding the “preProcessor” settings, but I still get a blank calendar. Does this get added to the “config” section, or the “module” section? I put it inside the config array.

        {
            module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
            position: "bottom_bar",
            title: "Family Calendar",
            config: {
                mode: "week",
                instanceId: "basicCalendar",
                calendarSet: ['famCal'],
                preProcessor: (e) => {
                    if (e.start?.dateTime) {
                        e.startDate = new Date(e.start.dateTime).valueOf()
                    } else if (e.start?.date) {
                        e.startDate = new Date(`${e.start.date}T00:00:00`).valueOf()
                    }
 
                    if (e.end?.dateTime) {
                        e.endDate = new Date(e.end.dateTime).valueOf()
                    } else if (e.end?.date) {
                        e.endDate = new Date(`${e.end.date}T00:00:00`).valueOf()
                    }
 
                    e.title = e.summary
                    e.fullDayEvent = (e.start?.date) ? true : false
                    return e
                    }
            }
        }

@XDmToter
Your configuration seems all right unless you may be missing some brackets matching or commas at the end of the continuous module definitions.

In MM screen, Ctrl+Shift+i will open dev console. You may see suspicious error messages if they happen.

[gonzonia]

@XDmToter
There’s a way to get an iCal URL without making it public. I see this in my “Settings and Sharing” section of Google Calendar.

[MMRIZE]

@gonzonia @XDmToter
But anyway, for shared-calendar (e.g. Family calendar), MMM-GoogleCalendar is worthy. (And there would be the possibility to implement a reminder feature also.)

I discussed this issue with @randomBrainstorm, and I can bet the fixed version of MMM-GoogleCalendar will be released soon. At that time, the need for conversion will be gone.

[BKeyport]

@MMRIZE So, I’ve expanded my calendar larger for a DakBoard like setup, and noticed some cosmetic problems, mostly in background highlighting. Can you take a look and see what’s up?

Also, I’d like the icons (using the symbols from calendar) to be row flexed not column flexed.

Thanks.

@MMRIZE
I found the issue.

# grep broadcastEvents modules/MMM-GoogleCalendar/MMM-GoogleCalendar.js 
    broadcastEvents: false,

# grep broadcastEvents modules/default/calendar/calendar.js 
		broadcastEvents: true,

broadcastEvents defaults to False in MMM-GoogleCalendar.

There is no mention of this in your README.md You might consider adding that under your “Compatible with randomBrainstormer/MMM-GoogleCalendar” Section.

[MMRIZE]

@XDmToter
That is not my fault. Which is not compatible with default calendar module is MMM-GoogleCalendar, not mine.

As I wrote in readme, CX3 and her sibling modules don’t parse calendar files directly by themselves. They need “event provider” like default calendar module which can emit events as notification.
And if some module can/cannot broadcast notifications by its config; that is not CX3’s job. Read the module’s guide carefully.

[XDmToter]

@MMRIZE said in MMM-CalendarExt3:

@XDmToter
That is not my fault.

I understand that. I wasn’t saying it’s anything you need to fix. I was just saying that you could mention in your readme, under the “Compatible with randomBrainstormer/MMM-GoogleCalendar” section, that setting “broadcastEvents; true” in the MMM-GoogleCalendar config is also required. If you would like, I can fork your project, add this one line to the readme and submit a pull request. I just thought it would be easier for you to do it.

[MMRIZE]

@XDmToter
Sure, feel free to contribute anytime.
By the way, MMM-GoogleCalendar will be released to become compatible with the default calendar soon, and then the hotfix tip will be obsoleted. Anyway, I want you to know that always welcome.

[MMRIZE]

@BKeyport
I’m sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I have forgotten. :)

What does mean background highlighting? You can adjust --cellbgcolor value or .cell selector directly to change background color.

And for the events list, I gave you a solution of conjuction. with MMM-ModuleMonkeyPatch. Without it, it could not be achieved.

[roth_nj]

is there a way to set this up to have a rolling 4 or 5 weeks (depending on how its configured) instead of the traditional only one month view. that way you can continually see a few weeks in advance?

please forgive me if this has already been asked/covered. I tried to go through this thread but with 38 pages and a lot of code bits, I didn’t see it.

[MMRIZE]

@roth_nj
You don’t have to read entire posts on this thread. Just read the README md first.
And there is the feature description of what you want probably.
