MMM-CalendarExt3Journal not displaying

jlward73

I know this has been dormant a while, but I had to fix the issue with my buttons not working with Carousel. I pulled up the front-end log, but not sure what to look for. I did not see any blaring errors associated with the Journal. Most of my errors were with Key Bindings which I don’t think I am really using at all, so may remove it. Is there something in particular that should stand out to me?

@jlward73 this module may help you cause it will report the notifications

@sdetweil I tried using ViewNotifications before while I was troubleshooting MMM-Buttons, but could not get anything to show up. I can try it again, but what notifications would be sent regarding CX3Journal not showing up?

@jlward73 view notifications

all the config is optional, so it should display every notification and there are a lot of them

Let’s make things simpler.
What is your current major problem. CX3J is not showing? Or Button is not working?
Solve it one-by-one.

If your issue is about Button, create a new post about it. You don’t have to mention CX3J not to make things complex. Only focus on the Button’s work (and its notification maybe.)

If your issue is CX3J’s working, Forget Button things.
Backup your current config then remove all other modules from config except clock, calendar, MMM-CalendarExt3Journal. Then execute MM.
Show me the whole front-end log.

@MMRIZE I got Buttons working, so just need to focus on CX3J. Let me take it down to just the basics like you say and I will see what shakes out. Thanks.

I took it down to what you said and the journal displayed, but not as I expected and that may be the root of the problem. It looks like the individual calendars load up properly, but the height of each hour is too much. As a starting point, I had the calendar starting at 0700 and going for 12 hours, but (provided I uploaded the image properly), it cuts off just before 1100. I could probably experiment with the config or css file, but you would probably know right off the top of your head.

/* config/config.js */

{
	module: "MMM-CalendarExt3Journal",
	position: "bottom_bar",
	config: {
		height: '50vh', // Half of the screen
		hourLength: 12, // Display 12 hours
		beginHour: 7, // From 7 o'clock
		staticWeek: true, // Since Monday
		days: 7, // For 7 days
	}
},

@MMRIZE That’s pretty much the same configuration I have. It’s the same config as I had at the beginning of the post except I changed the hours to start at 0700 and go for 12 hours. I don’t understand why my individual hours are so tall compared to yours. I thought, if you increase the hourLength, it would adjust the individual hours to fit within the 50vh limit. Am I missing something, or do I need to take a look at the front-end log?

@jlward73
Default hourLength is 4, so it seems your config is missing or mistyping that value.
