<![CDATA[Default Calendar Troubleshooting - "No Upcoming Events"]]>Hello,

I am having some trouble with the default calendar module. I have the config set up I believe correctly and the secret iCal link downloads a file so I know that is working.

Config:

		{
			module: "calendar",
			header: "Skaggs Family Calendar",
			position: "bottom_right", // This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions.
			config: {
				maximumEntries: 365, // Total Maximum Entries
				maximumNumberOfDays: 365,
				fetchInterval: 5 * 60 * 1000, // Update every 5 minutes.
				getRelative: 6,
				fadePoint: 0.25, // Start on 1/4th of the list.
				colored: true,
				coloredSymbolOnly: false,
				customEvents: [], // Array of {keyword: "", symbol: "", color: ""} where Keyword is a regexp and symbol/color are to be applied for matched
				tableClass: "small",
				calendars: [
					{
					symbol: "calendar-alt",
					url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/curlyq12391%40gmail.com/private-**xxxxxxxxx**/basic.ics",
					}
				],

				broadcastEvents: true,
				sliceMultiDayEvents: false,
				broadcastPastEvents: true,
				nextDaysRelative: false,
				selfSignedCert: false
			}
		},

I am able to see that the calendar IS broadcasting events through the log, so I assume that is functioning correctly…

0|mm     | Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 365 events.

However, when MM renders the module just says “No Upcoming Events”.

is there anything that I seem to be missing or something I can try? I can get the calendar to load with MMM-GoogleCalendar, but that module doesn’t broadcast past events so it makes MMM-CalendarExt3 pointless…which is why I was trying to use the default calendar module instead.

looks like u have lots of old events ( I see crap from 2017 in my list of old)

anyhow. fix coming in 2.21 (on Saturday), or make maxEntries bigger in the short term

365 events broadcast and none showing means there are all old. we don’t display old.

only today forward are used in cal module

I increassed the maximumEntries value to “1000000” and viola everything populated into MMM-CalendarExt3. I had previously increased it to “10000”, but apparently I just had too many old events.

After the fix is rolled out should I decrease the maximumEntries value to a smaller number or can I leave it as is? I dont want to break mine after you fix it (haha).
