      Yeah, here’s a link to my git. I’m not a coder so I’m assuming I’m missing some best practices but each module should be accessible. They’re certainly highly customized for my specific classes, icons, etc.

      My screen is an ASUS BE24ECSBT.

      Thanks for sharing your GitHub. I saw you had a module for the GuestWifiQR - I tried to replicate but for some reason the magicmirror wouldnt show it but the mirror still loaded. Would be interested if you got it working and how you put it in the config.js file?

          @sdetweil thanks. So you think the MMM-WifiPassword i the better way to go rather than create your own QR image and try to have the QR image created myself show?

                I added in the custom css:

                .MMM-CalendarExt3 .module-header {
                font-size: [changes here]
                [other options you’d like to change]
                }

                      This is amazing! Thank you.

                      Do you know if the Google calendar option works with iCal/iCloud calendar?

                        Could you elaborate on the changes you made to be able to be able add/edit/delete calendar entries in EXT3?

                        I’m able to get the pop up to add events and the events add to the main calendar. I’m stuck tho, as I can’t edit or delete these events.

                        A wishlist would be able to add events to some of the other linked calendars I have. I’m also stuck and can’t get the MMM-SimpleKeyboard to open. I’m running the magic mirror through server mode and view through a website and just use an attached wired keyboard for the time being.

                        Thanks for any help!

                          @wswenson @tjat i’d also love to see the original files. I’m very much a noob here. I’ve tried downloading and installing all the modules but it just looks like the default mm screen -how do I configure/edit to look like yours, etc, please?

                            Man I thought I was the only person on the internet who wanted a family dashboard that was interactive (ie to enter events on Google calendar -not just view them!). I’ve got the RPI and touch screen (Hannspree 23") sorted but with no real knowledge of coding or magic mirror modules was at a loss. I will be looking through your posts/git in more detail then I next get time! Thanks!

                              I was having issues with the calendar swipe feature not working. The keypress would work fine though. Looks like the new version of Electron has removed touchevents and changed to pointerdown and pointerup.

                              I forked the original and made the changes: https://github.com/B3DTech/MMM-KeyPress

                              I’m looking at cleaning up code in the add event module to remove some of the hard-coded customizations in the original. They are very much customized to the original creator with family names and icons hard coded. For the most part, that isn’t needed in a general framework for just adding events.

                              I am also looking at merging the code into the latest version of MMM-CalendarExt3 since it’s so far behind now.

                              It’s a slow work in progress. If anyone else has some time and wants to help out let me know.

                                @mdiorio electron still will provide touch events provided the underlying screen service does…

                                did you change OS levels since it last appeared to work?

                                they have changed the window manager twice in the last year.

                                Original was X11
                                last year introduced Wayland
                                this Oct introduced Labwc

                                  First time I’m using it is this week, so it would appear I’m using labwc.

                                  All I know is that the old KeyPress module wasn’t working and doing a console debug in electron was showing no touchevents being sent, only pointer events.

                                    @mdiorio you can change back to x11 using the raspi-config app

                                      @sdetweil Why would I change back when my code works with the current version. General concept MM should be don’t require a crap ton of customization just to make it work. Making users who may want to use this switch to a different windowing system doesn’t really make sense. Especially since I’m sure RPi will eventually remove X11.

                                        @mdiorio because it is new and not working in many cases yet

                                        if you want it to work now, your only choice is to move back

                                        you said your code does not work, touch doesnt

                                          Hi all. Back after Xmas break. I’m still very new to this and not entirely sure where to begin. Before Xmas I tried downloading the files provided (thanks!) but can’t get it to work. Any chance of a noob walkthrough or a link to somewhere that will tell me how to add the modules and get a working touch calendar? Thanks!

                                            @elwood1982uk Hi, I’ve got similar problem with touch callendar. I’ve made two changes in https://github.com/B3DTech/MMM-KeyPress module.

                                            In node_helper.js:
                                            step: (direction === “ArrowRight” ? 3 : -3) // 1 to move forward, -1 to move backward
                                            to:
                                            step: (direction === “ArrowRight” ? 1 : -1) // 1 to move forward, -1 to move backward

                                            and second thing uncomment:
                                            // this.sendNotification(‘CX3_GLANCE_CALENDAR’, payload);

                                            After this changes changing calendar start working with touch.
