@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.

[1a2a3a]

@sdetweil lol so dead. no idea what i changed in main.css and module css :(

[sdetweil]

@1a2a3a in each place (mm folder/ module folder) do

git diff

it will show you the changed content

then copy that to custom.css

when complete, in each place do

git checkout xxx

xxx is the filename to restore
main.css or module_name.css

[1a2a3a]

@sdetweil thank you! that fix it. i needed quite a long time to remediate them haha

[1a2a3a]

@sdetweil hey Sam can I know your vnc tool? Or rather the problem I’m facing now is that I’m using tiger vnc. My pi monitor is vertical. Pc Monitor is horizontal. When I vnc from the pc it shows vertical but my mouse is in horizontal mode so I can’t control it properly to do my css.

[sdetweil]

@1a2a3a I don’t use VNC. I use my PC browser.

on windows I use the bitvise ssh client that gives me ssh window for commands and a file system browser for editing files.

mixing vertical and horizontal is hard

[1a2a3a]

@sdetweil I’m also using bitvise as per your suggestion. Editing config file and the drag and drop is brill.

I install MM on pc and do the css on the pc and edit the css before transferring the css over to pi. Only problem is pc MM is horizontal and more often than not I have to guess and trial and error to get my position right.

My pc MM is started via npm start dev hence I can adjust the horizontal scale. So the horizontal position is always like for like. It’s the vertical part that I couldn’t do it because well, the horizontal monitor is not long enough….

[sdetweil]

@1a2a3a you don’t have to transfer the css file, just double click to edit and save.
I use notepad++ or visual studio code as the config editor

yeh, doing the math on the dimension changes is a pain in the rear.

get it like you like it horizontal and adjust

x times narrow_size/wide_size ( like width of 300px * 1080/1920)

@MMRIZE hi, can i know how to change eventheight in cx3? whenever i try to custom change the value, it is overwritten by the default element style which i have no access to it…

[1a2a3a]

@MMRIZE read and don’t understand which was what I did.

I input —eventheight into my custom css but nothing seems to change

Edit:
Oh set in config. Let me try

[1a2a3a]

@MMRIZE did something change? i did a git pull update and now my calendar ext 3 is missing.

[sdetweil]

@1a2a3a did you npm install in the module folder again?

[1a2a3a]

@sdetweil yes i deleted it and reinstall. seems to be working fine now

[sdetweil]

@1a2a3a he has a part called a submodule, that needs npm install to connect it

so you didn’t need to clone again, just run npm install

Hi there,

Installed your module which is really nice.
I have one question though.
At start up, it fetches all calendar’s I am using. However, it rendered and showed the calendars on the mirror before fetching. So its missing.

Obviously you can fix that by having a faster fetchInterval. But I feel that is kind of unnecessary, since you dont make changes in your agenda by the minute.

Is there a way to Fetch, and only populate the calendar on the mirror after all fetching is done?

Regards, Cris

@crisvdn
There is ‘waifFetch’ config value to wait enough time.

I am having some issues where events show up in my Calendar Module, but don’t always show up in my CalendarExt3 module. For instance, I currently have 5 working calendars displaying the upcoming events via the calendar module. All five calendars are displaying their information.

Currently though, only three of those calendars are showing in my monthly view of CalendarExt3. Sometimes, if I remove one or two of the calendars that do display, then I can get the ones that didnt work to show up on CalendarExt3. Currently however, I have removed all but two calendars, and still only one of them is displaying.

Overall, I have about 8 calendars Id like to link, and Ive never gotten more than about 4-5 to work at once, despite the fact that I can get them all to show in the Calendar module at the same time.

Any suggestions? I can post more details if desired.

[sdetweil]

@Splashed the default calendar clips off the broadcast events using the

maximumEntries

property. the doc says the max is 100, but that is never checked

it can be set above the calendars list
and this value is used for the TOTAL number of events sent
the code

return events.slice(0, this.config.maximumEntries);

or can also be set in a particular calendar

note that this size INCLUDES the PAST events if broadcastPastEvents:true
is set
