MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda

UncleRoger

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?

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

That’s all CSS.

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.)

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

@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

@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!

@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
