v2.22.0 | default calendar: no symbols with customEvents

[JDIBBY]

@sdetweil @kai

Were you guys able to resolve this? I have the same issue immediately after the v2.22.0 upgrade. I’ve tried different combinations of defaultSymbolClassName variables and can not get it to work for any customEvents.

@JDIBBY I have not looked at it more. can u say what symbols you used?

the full fontawesome name please.

[sdetweil]

@JDIBBY can you use the link I posted about the dev console and see what symbol class and name was used the those elements?

[karsten13]

there was a change concerning symbols, see https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/pull/2949/files

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' ... ?

[sdetweil]

@karsten13 but he should not have to use the fa- prefix on megaphone, cause its in the setting

@JDIBBY I changed one of my test cal setups to use custom events, copying your data but changing the trigger text

        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

@sdetweil looks great - that’s the way I’d like to have it. :grinning_face:
So you didn’t specify a symbol class for the customEvents at all? I have had no success with this so far…

[sdetweil]

@kai no, exactly as I posted. are you sure those are the phrases in your calendar subject?

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

I’ve been having the same problem. In mine the fas fa-fw fa- prefix was missing, so I changed my config to this:

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.

@DaveChild hm… that is the symbolPrefix variable in 2.22
