MMM-CalendarExt3

danncabrera

@MMRIZE Thank you for taking the time, that post was super helpful. You are a legend!

@danncabrera I wanted to post additional info for anyone else looking in

the image you posted of the dev window had the cause of the strikethru(overridden)
your pointer red/pink shows the strikethru… which means something ABOVE in the SAME COLUMN has that setting too… (and it wins)
my purple arrow

dev window comment.png

you’ll see that font-size in the header{ } is also strike thru, because the
.MMM-CalendarExt3 .module-header (ABOVE) the header specifies the font-size,
thus overriding the header setting…

and you can’t see it in these pics cause of the clipping,but the source of that
.MMM-CalendarExt3 .module-header came from the custom.css file…
(right edge same row)

MMRIZE

UPDATE 1.9.0 (2024-09-25)

customHeader available,.
Now you can add customHeader for the calendar view instead of module’s default header.

variable maxEventLines by number of rows
Every month has a different number of weeks in its calendar, so it was hard to adjust the height of the month view. Now, you can assign the variable maxEventLines by the number of rows. (And additional CSS Selectors related to it was added.)

@MMRIZE

Wow thanks for adding this. I have not tested yet, but I assume that with this update I can limit the size of the calendar if we have a 6 week month like this month.

MMRIZE, you’re a champion for creating this module. I would love some help, if you can spare some time.

The first issue is that I have tried adding an eventTransformer to add a symbol to specific events, but it doesn’t do anything. The code comes from your post in another topic, my slightly modified version is here:

				eventTransformer: (ev) => {
					if (ev.title.search('Volleyball') > -1) 
						ev.symbol = ['fa-solid fa-volleyball']
					return ev
				},

My current guess is that I’m not specifying a correct symbol name, but that name is directly from FontAwesome, so I’m not sure.

My other issue is that the first event on each day overlaps the date number - how can I fix this?

This may be a browser issue? I’m using Chrome on Win11, I don’t have a real display for my Pi at the moment so I’m running in Server mode to set things up.

@czabel
I need your config and custom.css to guess what happened.

MMRIZE

@czabel

{
	module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
	position: "bottom_bar",
	config: {
		eventTransformer: (ev) => {
			if (ev.title.includes("Volleyball")) {
				ev.symbol = ["fas fa-fw fa-volleyball"]
			}
			return ev
		}
	}
},

Due to most weird format of the default calendar symbol descriptor, you should write something like ["fas fa-volleyball"]

About the height of the event cell, I think you have modified some CSS or eventHeight property in the config.

czabel

@MMRIZE Thank you for the eventTransformer fix - is there some ruleset I can find for other icons, or just prefix everything with “fas”?

As for the other, you are right that I have edited the eventHeight, in order to grow the size of the whole calendar. Is there a better way to do this? Perhaps I should be using only the maxEventLines to grow the size of things? Or I guess I could use the CSS to force a minimum height for each .cell. What would you say is the preferred or “correct” method?

I now have two slightly different issues.
First, using the custom CSS to fully color-in my partial day events seems to override the icon. I tried commenting out the top selector, but these events still have no icon. Is there a correct way to do this - to have all my events colored in but also have icons?

Second, I have added a second calendar to see how that all works, but these new events are the same color, and the legend does not differentiate them. I am wondering if it is because my Google account owns both of these calendars, or if you have any other ideas as to why this won’t work? They are separate and distinct .ics URLs.

Here’s my CX3 config code, with .ics URLs omitted:

language: "en",
	locale: "en-US",
	logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR"], // Add "DEBUG" for even more logging
	timeFormat: 24,

  display: none;
}

.CX3 .event.singleday {
  background-color: var(--calendarColor);
  mix-blend-mode: difference;
  border-radius: 4px;
  color: var(--oppositeColor);
}

.CX3 .event:not(.fullday) .headline .time {
  color: var(--oppositeColor);
}

.CX3 .cellContainer .cell:nth-child(1) .cw {
	display: none;
}

Thank you for your time!

I appreciate the help!

“fa-solid” will work too, instead of “fas”. I think you may did some typo mistake somewhere.

As for the other, you are right that I have edited the eventHeight, in order to grow the size of the whole calendar. Is there a better way to do this? Perhaps I should be using only the maxEventLines to grow the size of things?

Generally, eventHeight and maxEventLines could control the height of the view, Anyway you may need additional CSS modification to beautify the view.

{
	module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
	position: "bottom_bar",
	config: {
		eventHeight: "30px",
		fontSize: "22px",
	}
},

I guess you may also incline fontSize. That property will be applied to all the elements . So all text would be bigger. but not the padding or margin or other attributes of the element. That’s why your view looked so weird. So you have to adjust other things with CSS to harmonize your view.

@MMRIZE

Great, thanks. I’ve changed it to use only the maxEventLines and it all looks fine.

Do you have any insight as to how to change my CSS to get the icons to show up for every event? As I mentioned, my current setup makes my non-fullday events colored in, but this deletes the icon. The icon is still there for the real fullday events. I’d like to keep the icon, if at all possible. Thank you!

Hey everyone!

I’m using a Samsung Frame 32" 2022 to display my MagicMirror page.

I’m trying to avoid using a Raspberry Pi etc. so just serving MM as a web page from a local server, then using the “Internet” app on the TV UI to view the page.

This approach works fine for other modules (including MMM-CalendarExt2 and the default Calendar) but not for MMM-CalendarExt3. Instead of showing a calendar it just shows the header (i.e. “October”) and nothing else. I’ve verified that the calendar renders OK on other devices (e.g. iPhone).

Any ideas on what could be causing this? Unfortunately it isn’t easy to debug as there is no console available on the Internet TV app, and MMM-LogExt just prevents the page from loading at all on the TV.

Thanks!
Adam

@adamaid MMM-CalendarExt3 uses the very latest javascript idioms,
which most TV browsers have not been upgraded to support…

here is a table of what browser version supports what

my Samsung 82 in used to run MM, but since a couple years ago it is downlevel

I’m in holidays this week. I’ll show you next week.

@MMRIZE No rush at all, enjoy your holiday! I’ll keep fiddling, but I’ve never been good with CSS :D

Hello.

Have been using MMM-CalendarExt2 for some years now and changed to MMM-CalendarExt3 today.

The thing was that my birthday events that i have in my my calender, i would like to say a the age of the person. The Calendar module you can use displayRepeatingCountTitle and repeatingCountTitle to show the years from when you put the event in the calendar. For example i tried put my birthday on the year i was born and put repeat every year on same day and it did show number.

Was wondering if this funktion work in MMM-CalendarExt3?

sdetweil

@Rakutsi no… the stuff shown on the screen isn’t broadcast to the other modules…

but you could add an ext3 eventTransformer to add it back on (if you know bd, and some pattern in the event subject)

Rakutsi

@sdetweil thanks then i know.

well i dont know how to use the eventFilter for that, is there any example then i could try?
I am not the best at those kind of things. Mostly copy paste and trial and error.

sdetweil

@Rakutsi see the doc and the ext3 wiki (at the module github page)

Rakutsi

@sdetweil

this was the solution i came up with.

eventTransformer: (event) => {
    const currentYear = new Date().getFullYear();
    const age = currentYear - event.firstYear;

    event.title = `${event.title} (${age} year)`;

    return event;
},

Chatgpt is my friend.

@Rakutsi awesome!
