MMM-CalendarExt3

[UPDATE] 1.7.1

• ADDED useMarquee config
• ADDED noMarquee event Object attribute
  From now, too long title will be rolling as marquee or ticker style.

@MMRIZE big fan of Ext3 module… I was curious if there is any way to have the calendar setting to be the next 4 weeks? That is a valuable view for me that I currently use on MMM-MyCalendar as it seems to be one of the only calendar’s that supports that.

[nobbie35]

Disregard… I managed to make this work by using week view with week index and week view.

@nobbie35
You can use ‘mode:“week”’ and ‘weeksInView:4’(and ‘weekIndex:0’)

I’ve got this calendar set up almost perfect for my family. Just a couple minor things I would like to modify but am having no luck so far. Wondering if any of you can help. I’m sure I’m missing something easy here, but I would like to remove the little circle icon to the left of the calendar entry. I changed useSymbol to false but it still shows.

Second, how the heck do you get the weather forecast/temp icons up next to the date? I chose useweather-true, displayweathertemp - true, I’ve tried a few of the other weather related fields but no luck. Any help with these would be appreciated.

Also, I’ve tried a couple times now on this post and another, and cannot upload a pic no matter how small. Also wouldn’t accept my Imgur link. Not sure what I’ve done wrong there but I’ll post a pic when I can.

1. to remove even dot mark on useSymbol: false; append this into your css/custom.css

/* css/custom.css */
.CX3 .event.singleday .headline:not(.useSymbol)::before {
  display: none;
}

2. To use forecasted weather, you should activate the weather module in forecast mode.

3. To attach image; you image should be smaller than 2MB. That’s all.
   To link external image; use this syntax.

@MMRIZE Awesome! Thank you for that. Works just like you said. I did have to put the Weather forecast module below the MMM-Calendarext3 module or else the calendar would not load. Might be something obvious to some but I’m teaching myself as I go.

[1a2a3a]

Hi, couple of questions-

1. how do I get the soccer team news fixture into the calendar?

2. is is possible to not marquee the long text wording but “wrap” inside the cell?

[MMRIZE]

@1a2a3a

1. Google with some keywords, for example “epl fixtures ical” or “Arsenal schedule ics”… It will suggest some sites. Then you can get the ical(.ics) URL from those sites or can download it. I usually use footballwebages.co.uk for EPL. But for other sports, google it. :)

2. no you can’t.

[1a2a3a]

@MMRIZE got the ical through official manu website :)

the ext3 is on my bottom bar. how do i flush them against the screen? no matter what setting i do, theres like a bezel portion gap between the screen and the calendar border.

same goes for extagenda3. i position it on top left but its not flush against the corner.

[MMRIZE]

@1a2a3a
Can you show me your screen taken? I cannot guess.

[1a2a3a]

@MMRIZE

here you go. red marking

[MMRIZE]

@1a2a3a
Modules do not rule that area. It is the default padding of MM for the frame construction.

Open your css/custom.css then you can see this section.

:root {
  --color-text: #999;
  --color-text-dimmed: #666;
  --color-text-bright: #fff;
  --color-background: black;

  --font-primary: "Roboto Condensed";
  --font-secondary: "Roboto";
  
  --font-size: 20px;
  --font-size-small: 0.75rem;

  --gap-body-top: 60px;
  --gap-body-right: 60px;
  --gap-body-bottom: 60px;
  --gap-body-left: 60px;
  
  --gap-modules: 30px;
}

Adjust them for your purpose, especially --gap-body-XXX

[1a2a3a]

@MMRIZE thanks for that. It’s such a pain trying to figure out the css on the pi.

I’m currently in the midst of installing mm on my windows pc. And I will scp to copy all the modules and css to pc, then open dev and edit the css accordingly before using the pi and scp copy back the css file.

Is this the fastest and easiest way to go about doing this? If there’s a better route, do let me know.

[sdetweil]

@1a2a3a install the (free) bitvise or winscp clients on windows, enable ssh on pi
and then you can edit on windows with double click on the file interface window they provide . bitvise also has a drag/drop window to copy files in either direction…

on windows I use Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code as the editor…

I NEVER edit ON the pi… EVER… I use ssh or one of the graphical tools…

on Linux I use the Caja file manager as it can link to ‘servers’ (ssh systems) and provide the same file manager interface

[1a2a3a]

THANK YOU both! the gap body code is exactly what i needed and bitvise helps a plenty!

Sam, do you mean i copy the code over from pi to pc > then simulate pc to run the mirror in dev mode and edit the css on the pc > then copy the css code from pc back to pi?

[sdetweil]

@1a2a3a no ,
open any browser connected to mm, in developer mode, (so chrome on your PC viewing mm page, and editor on PC editing custom.css via bitvise directly)

and you can set styles on any element to see it’s effect

then can add those to custom.css and refresh

[1a2a3a]

@sdetweil hmmm, i have been editing in the module css instead of the custom css. any undesirable consequences? also, whats the button to press for refresh? i keep doing ctrl c and npm start for refresh.

[MMRIZE]

@1a2a3a
Don’t do edit module’s CSS ever at all. It will be problem on module update.
Instead, override them in your css/custom.css

[sdetweil]

@1a2a3a refresh

if the cursor is over the mm part of the page, ctrl-r
if the cursor is over the developers window part, f5

never edit any module provided file, or any mm provided file

custom.css is designed to enable override of any css.
