MMM-CalendarExt3

wperry530

Hello all!

New to building out my magic mirror, and I’m running into a problem. If I understand correctly, this module would allow me to click an event from my google calendar and see the details. When I run the module, I am not getting that feature.

Is it something I’m doing wrong or am I misunderstanding something? Below is my config, and I have installed the lastest version of Electron.

{
  module: "calendar",
  header: "My Calendar",
  config: {
    calendars: [
      {
        symbol: "calendar",
        url: "**super secret**", // Replace with your actual Google Calendar ICS link
		name:"wes",
		color:"red"
      }
    ],
    maximumEntries: 10, // Number of events shown
    maximumNumberOfDays: 365, // Show events up to a year in advance
    displaySymbol: true, // Display the calendar symbol
    defaultSymbol: "calendar", // Default symbol if none specified for calendar
    // Other configuration options can be added here based on your preference
  }
},
{
  module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
  position: "middle center",
  title: "",
  config: {
    mode: "week",
    instanceId: "basicCalendar",
    maxEventLines: 5,
    firstDayOfWeek: 0,
    calendarSet: ['wes']
  }

@wperry530
Not only popover feature is not abled? Or some other symptom you have?
If only popover doesn’t work, What browser and version do you use? (Electron or Chromium version I need)

I tried a fourth uninstall / reinstall along with rebooting and it started to work. Thank you for the quick response!

@MMRIZE - New to MagicMirror and need some help please! I finally got my calendar and google calendar sync’d… but now I lost my weather on the top right of the screen and for some reason the weather is showing for the next 5 days on the calendar - are these related?
Sorry my picture would not upload for some reason :(

Sorry my picture would not upload for some reason

pic upload is the third icon from the right above the post editor

MMRIZE

@1lolo94
top_right? You positioned weather module top_center… I need pictures what you mean.

1lolo94

I had to resize - sorry

1lolo94

@MMRIZE - correct, sorry - I was testing it out both ways and was about 6 hours straight trying to get everything setup.

I would like it how it was in the top right. I removed all the calendar coding and the weather shows up correctly.

sdetweil

@1lolo94 just fyi. you can disable modules by adding a line for each

disabled:true,

between the module: and config: lines
note the trailing comma

sdetweil

@1lolo94 note that each section is a stack, 1st in config.js in that position goes first , next next, etc. if too much, it gets clipped off at the bottom of the screen.

so if ext3 cal is first, others are below it.
you could change css to prove it

in custom.css

body {
  overflow: default;
}

then try to scroll the page, up to see below the fold

1lolo94

@sdetweil So i did everything you said (and i may have messed up) and now all i see if the calendar at the bottom.

@1lolo94 sorry it was html, not body

html {
   overflow:default;
}

1lolo94

@sdetweil Thanks for the quick response - same issue :(

All I see is the calendar at the bottom

sdetweil

@1lolo94 please change this

   position: "",

to

 //    position: "",

“” causes an error
while no position setting is ok

1lolo94

@sdetweil YOU ARE AMAZING!

Last two questions and I will leave you alone :)

what settings do i need to change to get the calendar to fit the entire bottom of the screen? Is that possible?
How can I add a background to this - but have the calendar, weather, etc in front of it? I have seen some others have nature, clouds, etc.

Thanks again!

sdetweil

@1lolo94 background

use one of the modules that displays what you like and use position fullscreen_below, 3d, below is furthest away from the viewer , above is closest to the viewer and default is between them

calendar full width. I don’t know, mm sets margin, all the way around so content is NOT jammed against the edge…

see css/main.css at the top, 60px as I recall

you can override that in custom.css

sdetweil

@1lolo94 said in MMM-CalendarExt3:

and I will leave you alone

I am here every day. am moderator
ask away.
others smarter than me will jump in too

1lolo94

@sdetweil I was able to get the module - MMM-Wallpaper installed and working great - but depending on the picture, i cannot see the the calendar, events, days, etc. I’m assuming that is in the custom cc settings?

sdetweil

@1lolo94 no cool thing there. some background images will conflict w the foreground…

I want dynamic opposite, but… no such thing

Hello all, just have a couple fine tuning questions for you. Both seem easy but I can’t seem to figure out why it’s not working. FWIW my MM has been running great for months now, finally doing some tweaking.

So I’ve got MMM-Calendarext3 setup to only show 1 calendar, it’s my family google account. The last 2 things I would like to accomplish are having the text for long events scroll with useMarquee: true and then also to have the eventTransformer search for a name in the event title and change the color according to that.

For some reason, I can’t get either of these to work. Config.js below. If I understand correctly, I shouldn’t need to add anything to custom.css correct? With the config file below, my calendar does not load at all, just get blank screen stating please create a config file, if I hash out the transformer stuff then it loads but never scrolls (marquee). Any advice from ya’ll smart folks?

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