      Re: Default Calendar
      How would I go about using a local ICS file for example birthdays and holidays since I can get ICS files downloaded and would only need to move to the correct folder. Just a thought to take out all the middle men and lighten the load on my wireless internet connection…

        I finally have calendar working again. Had to completely replace my config.js with the sample one. Then rebuild it. I could get everyone of my calendars to work in the stripped down config.js so I just removed my calendars settings from my original config.js then copied and pasted the working calendar settings from the stripped down one saved and rebooted calendars work fine now. NOW on to the MMM-CalendarExt3 not picking up from the default calendar for some reason… Thats a problem for another day…

          @plainbroke put the ics file anywhere in MagicMirror or further down

          http:// starts at the MagicMirror folder

          course you can use a symbolic link to store it somewhere else, and make it appear in the mm folder tree

          see the ln command

            Okay,
            I have saved my ics in the MagicMirror folder and trying to use this
            url: “http://MagicMirror/Birthdays.ics”,
            I still get nothing. This is kinda important with the size of my family I would forget Birthdays constantly. Probably even my own.
            What am I doing wrong or do I need to reload the default calendar into
            cd /MagicMirror/modules/ default. I tried going to google calendars and managing my account turned 2 step off and then back on and redid all the steps for gmail and then went in and got the new calendar links with no changes to calendar showing up. Pulling my hair out on this one. Been at it a couple days now. It is probably so simple I cant see the forest for all the trees type thing…

              @plainbroke http://localhost:8080/Birthdays.ics

              or whatever your mm port number is

              localhost means ONLY apps on the same machine can access,

                Ok, I have the Birthdays.ics in my MagicMirror directory.
                and this is what is in my config.js and I am getting a message

                  Maybe my pm2 error log will help.
                  looks like I am missing a file but can not figure out how to install it or what to install.

                    This will not work: "http://localhost:8181/Birthdays.ics"

                    You can try to move the local ics file into the config directory and then use "webcal://localhost:8181/config/Birthdays.ics" as url.
