customEvents: [
    {keyword: "Games", symbol: "dice fas fa-fw fa-dice"},
    {keyword: "Rugby", symbol: "running fas fa-fw fa-running"},
    {keyword: "Guitar", symbol: "guitar fas fa-fw fa-guitar"}
],

I duplicated the “dice” at the start so it keeps working when the bug is fixed. And the icons appear now.

SOLVED! Upgraded to 2.22.0 then put the fa/fas bit after symbol. It works again as before. Phweee! Just for the clueless like me!

if you use my upgrade script to migrate versions. it will detect develop branch being active and switch back to mater

meanwhile the fix is merged on develop. You can try the develop branch or wait for official release in April.

you can pull down the develop branch and try it out.

the fix is not on develop because it is not merged yet but it should not take a long time …

mm uses the git source code mgmt system

this provides for different version of code concurrently.
mm uses the master branch as the current running code
and the develop branch to accumulate updates between releases.

if u follow the steps in the test fixes topic

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/14327/testing-new-fixes-or-solving-current-problems-with-next-release-code

you can pull down the develop branch and try it out.

if you don’t know what this means and cannot try it then u have to wait. mm releases a new version every 90 days

you could look at what he did and change your code,

of git pull and check the develop branch. see the instructions pinned to the top of this topic about testing fixes.

This might be fixed with applying this.getCalendarPropertyAsArray to ev.symbol in the line symbols[0] = ev.symbol;.

I’d do a PR myself but I have nowhere near enough experience tinkering with MagicMirror to be pushing code to a default module :). But I think that’s where the problem is, and my solution will work around that issue crudely for the moment.

customEvents: [
    {keyword: "Games", symbol: "dice fas fa-fw fa-dice"},
    {keyword: "Rugby", symbol: "running fas fa-fw fa-running"},
    {keyword: "Guitar", symbol: "guitar fas fa-fw fa-guitar"}
],

I had a problem once before, and had Two spaces between words in the calendar event, and only one in the events stucture…

        calendars: [
        {
          url: "http://localhost:8090/modules/default/calendar/woot.ics",
          symbol: "calendar",
          color: "#efefef",
          name: "Rags Calendar",

        }
        ],
          customEvents: [
            { keyword: 'Weekly', symbol: 'file-signature' },
            { keyword: 'Every', symbol: 'champagne-glasses' },
          ],

and see this

this should be backward compatible in normal setups but I don’t know how this is compatible with customEvents.

Did you try something like

..., symbol: 'fa-solid fa-megaphone' ... or

..., symbol: 'fas fa-fw fa-megaphone' ... ?
