      not sure what i’m doing wrong. Tried setting DEBUG mode on, dont get any logs of substance related to MMM-CalendarExt3, nor do I see it even try to download or parse the ICS in my config.

      my module config:

      {
      			module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
      			position: "bottom_bar",
      			title: "",
      			config: {
      			  mode: "week",
      			  instanceId: "basicCalendar",
      			  maxEventLines: 5,
      			  firstDayOfWeek: 7,
      			  weekIndex: 0,
      			  weeksInView: 3,
      			  broadcastPastEvents: true,
      			  calendars: [
      				{
      					url: "https://ics.calendarlabs.com/75/51ccb94a/UK_Holidays.ics",
      					name: "UK Holidays",
      					color: "red"
      				}
      			  ]
      			}
      		}
      

      my packages.json in case there is any interest

        CX3 doesn’t employ node_helper.js so there is no log on your backend-sided log, only frontend-sided log (in your browser dev console) is used.

        If you want to deliver your frontend log to your general backend, consider to use MMM-LogExt (https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-LogExt)

          @MMRIZE thank you, i’ve installed that module and captured more logs, but I still dont see any action from the MMM-CalendarExt3 module. It doesnt seem to download or parse the ICS I specified.

            @carefreepineappl CalendarExt3 depends on the default calendar module to read and parse the ICS event data and broadcast it to other interested modules.

            ext3 does NOT read the ICS directly

            so, the calendars:[] list needs to be moved to the default calendar module. you can keep the default from showing by commenting out it’s position config option

              @sdetweil that did it. thank you! sorry, I misread the example in the MMM-CalendarExt3 repo, it clearly shows configuration of the calendar module.

                ok, so after I got the example ICS working and displaying, I swapped out the URL link to my private google calendar, which I confirmed is available through an incognito window.

                The logs appear to show its downloading and attempting to parse the data, there are no errors, but it doesn’t display any events on the calendar.

                                {
                			module: "calendar",
                			config: {
                				broadcastPastEvents: true,
                				calendars: [
                					{
                						fetchInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
                						symbol: "calendar-check",
                						url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/<redacted>/basic.ics",
                						name: "google",
                						color: "red"
                					}
                				],
                				maximumEntries: 5
                			}
                		},
                		{
                			module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
                			position: "bottom_bar",
                			title: "",
                			config: {
                			  mode: "week",
                			  instanceId: "basicCalendar",
                			  maxEventLines: 5,
                			  firstDayOfWeek: 7,
                			  weekIndex: 0,
                			  weeksInView: 3,
                			  calendarSet: ['google']
                			}
                		}
                

                Im looking for error in the logs, are there any other terms I should search for?

                pi@rpi2o1:/opt/MagicMirror $ cat log.txt | grep -i error
                pi@rpi2o1:/opt/MagicMirror $
                

                I see entries getting processed

                pi@rpi2o1:/opt/MagicMirror $ cat log.txt | grep -i "processing entry" | wc -l
                398
                

                Here’s an example event

                I tried going back to the prior parser, but there wasn’t a change for the google calendar. I tried changing the ICS back to the holidays ICS with the new parser, and that no longer showed any events either.

                pi@rpi2o1:~$ cd /opt/MagicMirror
                npm install node-ical@0.16.1
                pi@rpi2o1:~ $ cat /opt/MagicMirror/package.json | grep node-ical
                		"node-ical": "^0.16.1",
                

                tried going to the latest version of node-ical to at least get back to where I was and I still dont see any events even with the holidays ICS that was working.

                pi@rpi2o1:~$ cd /opt/MagicMirror
                npm install node-ical@0.17.2
                

                Log shows entries processed even identifying an upcoming one

                }
                

                Im seeing new events and a total event count

                    @sdetweil all set

                    pi@rpi2o1:/opt/MagicMirror $ npm install node-ical@0.16.1
                    pi@rpi2o1:/opt/MagicMirror $ cat /opt/MagicMirror/package.json | grep node-ical
                    		"node-ical": "^0.16.1",
                    

                    Before attempting the google calendar again, i’m going back to trying to get the US holidays calendar working.

                    Unfortunately i’m still not seeing presidents day appear on the calendar.

                      @sdetweil if you’re interested, here’s the log file
                      https://drive.google.com/file/d/119GJ_HUliObRNVHb5iQkxr8VZX92Yl-_/view?usp=drive_link

                      EDIT: for some reason the presidents day event finally popped up. I wasnt watching it to see how long it took to populate, but it had to have been a little while.

                      I’ll test again to see if I can get a time frame. I was watching the logs and when the events were finished processing, I assumed they should be displayed. Is that not the case?
