@msdt_steak and MMM-WifiPassword shows whatever its configured for
@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?
-
@msdt_steak i’m not going to create my own!

@tjat How did you manage to increase the font-size of the calendar month heading (SEPTEMBER 2023)?

I added in the custom css:
.MMM-CalendarExt3 .module-header {
font-size: [changes here]
[other options you’d like to change]
} -
@jalow Thank you. It worked.
-
I would love to see your configuration and CSS files for this layout - looks really clean.

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!

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 backwardand second thing uncomment:
// this.sendNotification(‘CX3_GLANCE_CALENDAR’, payload);After this changes changing calendar start working with touch.

@linkiln @sdetweil thanks again both. I guess what else I need to know is what modifications I need to make to the original files to get them to work/personalised for my own family? (E.g. where do I change values, names, etc?). I do want to learn but have very limited time so when I get a chance to look at it I get very little time to figure stuff out through trial and error and therefore it’s sitting gathering dust - so any pointers/instructions gratefully received! 😉

I’m basically going round in circles. Whenever I restart I have to remember everything from before so it’s very slow progress. I’ve just started fresh, using the auto installer (thanks). Took a while to get node/npm to the right version (I’m not sure why the auto installer didn’t?). Now at the point of adding modules but again I’ve run out of time. Could really do with a straightforward walkthrough (I do realise there is lots of info around/on here, but I find it overwhelming to know where to start, or when something goes wrong (long the node version earlier) how to sort it. Just want an editable touch screen Google calendar! 🤪`
