MMM-CalendarExt3

[OliWer]

Hi, I’m using CalendarExt2 with the MMM-CalendarExtPlan Plugin. This totaly fits my needs with having several calendars next to each other with different type of information for the upcoming days. Currently it looks like this is not possible with CalendarExt3, right?
Is CalendarExt2 not going to be maintained anymore in the near future?

Thanks for the great work btw,!

Thanks for using CX2. I think it is an almost-perfect module which I made. However, some people feel so difficult to use it. So I made a new one, CX3

While CX2 is enough for your purpose, just use it until you find a better alternative.
Anyway, I will not maintain it in near future. The most main reason is, that it is too heavy and severely dependent on other node-dependencies.

For the ExtPlan (and agenda view), I will provide an equivalent module for CX2 someday.

Hope you mean CX3 ;)
Will wait until its done and closely monitor the evolution of CX3. Thanks again for your contribution, really good work!

@OliWer
:) CX3 indeed.

@MMRIZE When are you adding “upcoming” view in CX3? :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

How to add a event where do you place.

{
  "title": "Leeds United - Chelsea",
  "startDate": 1650193200000,
  "endDate": 1650199500000,
  "fullDayEvent": false,
  "class": "PUBLIC",
  "location": false,
  "geo": false,
  "description": "...",
  "today": false,
  "symbol": ["calendar-alt"],
  "calendarName": "tottenham",
  "color": "gold",
  "calendarSeq": 1, // This would be the order from `calendarSet` of configuration
  "isPassed": true,
  "isCurrent": false,
  "isFuture": false,
  "isFullday": false,
  "isMultiday": false
}

@Dav8574
??? I cannot understand what you meant. Explain in more detail what you want.

[sdetweil]

@Dav8574 you add calendar entries to a Google or similar calendar system

you use the ical url for that cake dar to the default calendar modules in mm, which download and parse the events, and then broadcast them to other modules

where Ext3, picks them up and produces different views of the entries

Hi again,

For some reason my calendars stopped working again, it seems it only shows two items in the past from two different calendars, but only once.

And it seems to be the missing ones are private ics from google calendar. This occurred just right after the new update. I tried ever changing the private url in google and even reinstalling MagicMirror with no luck.

[sdetweil]

@luisestrada Ext3 gets entries broadcast from the default calendar.

there was a change(me), that may have caused entry truncation, if you have maximumEntries set in any calendar entry

[luisestrada]

@sdetweil it may sound funny but now, I see all the future events but the ones that already passed, disappeared.

and just in case:

broadcastPastEvents: true,

[sdetweil]

@luisestrada there is another setting to broadcast past events too ( not by default)

Hi, all. How can I remove the border for a specific calendar? I got this from @MMRIZE

.CX3 .event.fullday,
.CX3 .event.multiday {
        border-left: 4px solid var(--calendarColor);
        border-bottom: 1px solid var(--calendarColor);

.CX3 .event.singleday {
        border-left:4px solid var(--calendarColor);

There are a couple of calendars where I have icons so I don’t want to use any border. I’ve tried a few different ways (including calendarName_{Music}, data-calendar-name=“Music”), but none worked, so it seems I’m doing something incorrectly. A little help, please?

[MMRIZE]

@almightyyoshi

/* To remove all the borders from all the events */
.CX3 .event {
  border:  none;
}

/* To remove all the borders from the events of specific calendar */
.CX3 .event.calendar_YOURCALENDARNAME {
  border: none;
}

REMARK

• You’d better assign a name of calendar with safe characters (without whitespace, special characters or emoji, …)
• You might have wanted to remove background, not the border itself. Anyway you asked how to remove the border, so I answered.

Which one is that?

[MMRIZE]

@luisestrada

• broadcastPastEvents : enable the feature
• maximumNumberOfDays : how old events would be gathered
• maximumEntries : give enough rooms otherwise your too old events would consume your default slots.

I may have messed this one up on latest release…

altho documented as a different setting for each calendar, it did not work.
(wasn’t used)
I added it back, BUT now it chops off at maximumEntries…

the author of the PR has fixed it again in develop branch…
broadcast all, chop off for display later

It displays on the calendar but not the ext3 extention

[MMRIZE]

@EphraimB
You are referring a calendar which has the name of “personal” in your “calendarSet”, but there is no calendar in your “calendar” module’s config like that. That’s the reason.

[EphraimB]

@MMRIZE Thank you. It’s fixed.
