MMM-CalendarExt3

[gonzonia]

I just did a new build of my MM to upgrade to Bookworm and update to no longer use unsupported modules. Everything went well for the most part except my calendars aren’t showing. This is in the Error log from start up -

[2025-02-17 11:56:43.570] [WARN]  [MMM-CalendarExt3.js:390:11] [CX3] Module is not prepared yet, wait a while.

[2025-02-17 11:56:43.690] [WARN]  [MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda.js:186:11] [CX3A] Module is not prepared yet, wait a while. 

I can see in the main log that the Calendar module is getting data -

[2025-02-17 17:12:47.050] [INFO]  Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 584 events from https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/XXXXXXX/basic.ics.

I’ve tried the

git submodule update --init --recursive

from the install instructions and it didn’t seem to help. Thoughts?

@gonzonia if you installed MagicMirror 2.30
did you also install the fix?

@sdetweil No. I had not seen that. Installing now. Thanks!

Would it be possible to combine the calendar color indicator at the time using just CSS?

Right now, it’s a colored circle and the time next to it and I was wondering if it would somehow be possible to have the time be inside the circle, or have the time be a different background color.

My display is quite small, and saving a few extra pixels would be nice.

Hello.
Is it possible that with the Calender-ext3 in the weekly display the calendar entries are displayed in two or three lines?

Hello everyone

I hope you can help me. I’m trying to get the calendar to display in Calendar Ext3.

This is what my configuration looks like

                        {
                          module: "calendar",
                          position: "top_left",
                          config: {
                            broadcastPastEvents: true, // <= IMPORTANT to see past events
                            calendars: [
                              {
                                url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/....................ics",
                                name: "Andreas", // <= RECOMMENDED to assign name
                                color: "red" // <= RECOMMENDED to assign color
                                }
                        ]
                        }
                      },
                        {
                          module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
                          position: "bottom_bar",
                           title: "",
                           config: {
                            mode: "month",
                            instanceId: "basicCalendar",
                            locale: 'de-CH',
                            maxEventLines: 5,
                            firstDayOfWeek: 1,
                            calendarSet: ['Andreas'],
                          }
                },

@CyruS1337 did you install the fix?

@sdetweil

Great, it worked. I have one more question.
Do I have to use the “calendar” module from MagicMirror, or would the MMM-MyCalendar module also work?

						{
			module: "MMM-MyCalendar",
			position: "bottom_right",	// This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions.
			header: 'Kalender Andreas',
		  config: {
			colored: true,
			maxTitleLength: 30, 
			maximumEntries: 4,
			displayRepeatingCountTitle: true,
			timeFormat: "HH:mm",
			dateFormat: "DD:MM:YYYY",
			joiningWord: "um",
			calendars: [
			{
				url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/................./basic.ics',
				color: "#5b53d4",
				symbol: 'calendar',
				auth: {
					user: 'username',
					pass: 'superstrongpassword',
					method: 'basic'
								}
			},
			],
	}
		},
						{
			module: "MMM-MyCalendar",
			position: "bottom_right",	// This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions.
			header: 'Kalender Daniela & Andreas',
		  config: {
			colored: true,
			maxTitleLength: 30, 
			maximumEntries: 4,
			displayRepeatingCountTitle: true,
			timeFormat: "HH:mm",
			dateFormat: "DD:MM:YYYY",
			joiningWord: "um",
			calendars: [
			{
				url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/................./basic.ics',
				color: "#f05db0",
				symbol: 'calendar',
				auth: {
					user: 'username',
					pass: 'superstrongpassword',
					method: 'basic'
								}
			},
			],
	}
		},

@CyruS1337 MAYBE it will work, but it is a clone of the default cal from 3 years ago, with the broken repeating schedule code…
which I just fixed in the latest release 2.30.0, Jan 1…

@sdetweil thanks a lot. It works
