MMM-CalendarExt3

adamaid

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

@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?

@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)

@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.

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

@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.
