MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda

I was able to get it working. For those that may need to resolve this in the future, the answer was at this link:

https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda#update-to-120

When some submodule is not updated, try this.

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda
git submodule update --init --recursive

@MMRIZE Thanks for the module! I see your first screenshot and looks like you have multiple calendars using the original MMM-Calendar and MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda modules. What setting do you use to get it working like this? I setup mine, but I cant figure out what do do on the original MMM-Calendar module to display only one specific calendar and another calendar to be displayed using Ext3Agenda module. Also, what is the best way to get hyphens in the column to be between the times when using 2 digits for hours?

@MarNog Multiple instances of the calendar module. One with position in place for the ones you want to show with the default module, one without a position for the ones you want to display with CX3A.

MMRIZE

@MarNog
Interesting. You might have added some custom CSS, so hard to guess what happened at the moment.
I think the area for time displaying is not so wide enough. Give them more space.

Currently, the hyphen and startTime/endTime condition is defined like this.

/* MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda.css line 187 */
.CX3A .event .time {
  font-size: 75%;
  vertical-align: text-bottom;
}

.CX3A .event .time.notInDay {
  display: none;
}

.CX3A .event .startTime::after {
  content: ' -';
}

.CX3A .event .startTime.notInDay + .endTime.inDay::before {
  content: '- ';
}

@BKeyport I added another instance of the Calendar module and it worked like charm. Thank you.

MarNog

@MMRIZE I had used a custom.css from someone’s post and I modified the font size. After your suggestion I changed the width on the custom.css and the time is showing correctly now. Thank you

@MMRIZE I really like your modules! I tried to setup the Ext3Agenda, but with no success.

Can you share the part of the config file to show the Agenda for a couple of days with the scheduled meetings?

MMRIZE

@themoe
In many cases; ppl might have missed/made wrong to the default calendar setting.
Show me your config for default calendars module and CX3A instead.

I have two instances of MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda showing with different calendar sets.

For one set it shows data for 4 days, with all days populated.

For the other one, it shows 4 days but the last day isn’t populated. If I increase the endDayIndex by 1 it will add a 5th day and day 4 will be populated but the 5th day will not, so I know the data is there.

Any ideas what would cause this?
Working instance 1:

{
			module: "MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda",
			position: "top_right",
			classes: "SceneFamily",
			header: "Upcoming Family Calendar",
			config: {
				instanceId: "FamilyAgenda",
				locale: 'en-US',
				firstDayOfWeek: 1,
				startDayIndex: 0,
				endDayIndex: 3,
				showMiniMonthCalendar: false, 
				useSymbol: true,
				calendarSet: ['Dad', 'Mom', 'Kid1', 'Kid2', 'Work1', 'Work22, 'Home'],
			}
		}

Missing Data Instance 2

		{
			module: "MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda",
			position: "top_left",
			classes: "SceneFamily SceneKids",
			header: "Chores",
			config: {
				instanceId: "Chores",
				locale: 'en-US',
				firstDayOfWeek: 1,
				startDayIndex: 0,
				endDayIndex: 3,
				showMiniMonthCalendar: false, 
				useSymbol: true,
				calendarSet: ['Dad Chores', 'Kid Chores', 'Mom Chores'],
			}
		},

I apologize for what I’m sure is a bonehead question… I had a stock calendar module to show events from one calendar (and a second, hidden instance of calendar) but when I tried to implement pages (MMM-Pages), it was loading the hidden calendar along with the non-hidden one.

So I thought I’d try CalExt3Ag to replace the visible calendar. The problem is, I want it to look like the stock calendar:

but the best I could get is this:

Is it possible to get a much simplified listing (one line per event, relative dates) of events using CalExt3Ag?

BKeyport

@UncleRoger Not exactly. However you can get it simplied some:

That’s all CSS.

MMRIZE

@UncleRoger

About the look of the module to mimic the original calendar module;
Sorry, it can’t. This module is an alternative view of your events listing, not a replacement. If you need only the same look as the original calendar, just use the original.
About the working with MMM-Pages.
MMM-Pages is a good, reliable module, though it doesn’t consider the multi-instance of the module. So when you need multi-instances and want to show/hide on different pages, it cannot work as expected. Try other paging/screen control module. (e.g. I recommend MMM-Scenes2 with shame.)

Click to see the DEMO

My mistake. You can assign class name in MMM-Pages settings. (Thanks @sdetweil )

sdetweil

@MMRIZE i.like you Scenes module.

but MMM-Pages works fine for multi instance. just don’t use the module name in the page definition

use page1, page2, page3…
and then use that in the individual module classes: setting

super easy and much more clear

MMRIZE

@sdetweil
Ah, I misunderstood those identifiers are module name not class name.

sdetweil

@MMRIZE well they are used as class names in the code lookup. each module’s name is
assigned as a class in the Dom for each module.
that’s why using module name is not instance aware.

but classes can be any string, and pages just search for all with that class.

MMRIZE

@sdetweil
You are right.
However the example seems somehow ambiguous (though config description) It might mislead someone.(like @UncleRoger or me) :D

sdetweil

@MMRIZE yes, I would have preferred my description , but I can’t update the doc.

depends on where u want the config info (all in the pages config, which doesn’t support multi-instance cause it talks module name)

or all at the modules. page1, page2. etc

understandable, but spread out.

edit : I updated the MMM-Pages readme (also the front page of the module on Github )to describe this
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-pages

UncleRoger

@sdetweil @MMRIZE
You guys are amazing! Thank you!

Scenes2 looks really interesting but I think it’s probably overkill for what I’m trying to do (MagicMirror swapping with Mr. Rogers’ Picture Picture). I could see that there are a lot of possibilities with it. I might play around with it for a future build.

The reason I have two calendar modules is that one is displayed for the dinner menu and one is there just to define the calendars for MMM-MonthlyCalendar. I’m planning on playing with CalendarExt3 to see if I like it better than MonthlyCalendar but the latter was quick and easy to get going.

Anyway, thanks again!

sdetweil

@UncleRoger if it doesn’t have a position, it would.
be in the fixed section of pages, else it would think it is suspended, and not operate. fixedeans on all pages, but it still wouldn’t be shown
