Show calendar based on IP Address accessed

[Spinster]

@sdetweil will express ipfilter be useful? Similar to whitelist, can we try something

[sdetweil]

@Spinster no… as its in the wrong place… (inside node_helper…) we NEED the ip address to compare with

just get it and return . one time

(You don’t have to modify the original source code for future-proof.)

BUT you are fetching cal for system not going to use it… SOME cals are 1000’s of entries especially old
that have to be processed… this is a bad waste of resources…

and this exposes a cal problem, as if u fetch http://xyz on client 1 and client 2 and client 3, we fetch it 3 times. also bad
this could also lead to different clients showing different data between fetchIntervals…

I Can’t understand your point.
My code is just small injection that does filtering out calendars by condition on socketNotificationReceived. No additional fetching is needed.

Well, if that is the issue, we need a new “calendar” module that can ignore duplicated feed on addCalendar.
Regardless of my code, the original calendar module will fetch a same feed multiply on multi clients. It’s MM’s limitation.

@MMRIZE yes

@Spinster

see later post

AFTER fetching… so throw away data, which we fetched , knowing we wouldn’t use it…

[Spinster]

@MMRIZE I tried it, but it is still showing the calendar even if there is no calendar defined for the ip. I edited only the config.js file and added your code. Modified the calendars to suite mine. I could see even if there is no calendar defined for a particular ip. Please advice

[Spinster]

@sdetweil Is this working? Should I try it, please advice

[MMRIZE]

@sdetweil
Still I can’t catch you.

[2024-05-07 15:03:33.741] [LOG]   Use existing calendarfetcher for url: https://ics.calendarlabs.com/76/mm3137/US_Holidays.ics

The log shows, duplicated URL would be integrated into existing fetcher, So unlike your words, 3 clients doesn’t make 3 duplicated wasted fetcher.

If clientA needs cal1, cal2, cal3 and clientB needs cal1, cal4, cal5. In this case server should fetch 5 calendars anyway. User may need cal1 ~ cal5 even on 1 screen or 2 screens, ther server’s burden would be the same.

The only aspect that could be considered a waste is the transmission of unusing event data for cal4 and cal5 to clientA, but unless it’s a performance issue with the data parsing algorithm, simply having large data size being transmitted isn’t particularly problematic. Moreover, since the data is dropped in my code as soon as the notification is received, it can’t be deemed a significant memory issue. If the data size itself becomes problematic, it implies there’s already a problem with the original calendar module using cal1, cal2, cal3, cal4, and cal5.

Too skeptic.

in the calendar config, I added clientMap.

{
	module: "calendar",
	header: "US Holidays",
	position: "top_left",
	config: {
		clientMap: {
			"192.168.178.63": [ "cal1", "cal2", "cal3" ],
			"192.168.178.22": [ "cal3", "cal4", "cal5" ]
		},
		calendars: [
			{
				url: "...",
				name: "cal1",
			},

...

[sdetweil]

@Spinster yes, the two pieces together

ipaddress:“…”
at each cal url block… only does one ipaddress per url

[Spinster]

@MMRIZE
Here is my config

	{
		module: "alert",
	},

	/*
	{
		module: "updatenotification",
		position: "top_bar"
	},*/
	{
		module: "clock",
		position: "top_left"
	},
	{
		module: "MMM-ModuleMonkeyPatch",
		config: {
			patches: [
				{
					module: "calendar",
					method: "socketNotificationReceived",
					patch: async function (original, args) {
						const [ notification, payload ] = args
						if (notification === "CALENDAR_EVENTS") {
							const calendarName = this.config.calendars.find((cal) => cal.url === payload?.url)?.name
							const r = await fetch('http://10.5.11.1:8080/modules/getip')
							const ip = JSON.parse(await r.text())?.[ 'address' ] ?? null
							console.log(ip)
							if (!this.config.clientMap?.[ ip ]?.includes(calendarName)) {
								return original(notification, { ...payload, events: [] })
							}
						}
						return original(notification, payload)
					}
				}
			]
		}
	},
	{
		module: "getip",
	},
	{
		module: "calendar",
		header: "Home Cal",
		position: "top_left",
		config: {
			clientMap: {
				"10.5.11.5": [ "cal1" ],
				"10.5.11.6": ["cal2"]
			},
			calendars: [
				{
					fetchInterval: 10 * 60 * 1000,
					symbol: "calendar-check",
					url: "https://homecals/xEzboFt7Kr3Yfiys?export",
					name: "cal1",

				}
			]
		}
	}

This is showing both 10.5.11.5 and 10.5.11.6 the same calendar. Though 10.5.11.6 should not have any calendar since it is not defined. Even I tried without an entry of 10.5.11.6 in calendar map but it still showing the calendar. What am I doing wrong. Please advice

@MMRIZE I even added the calendarmap, I hope you seen my config.js sent earlier

Sorry, i think I have not installed Monkey module, will install and check again

[Spinster]

@sdetweil

Should I use your earlier code and this? Please advise

[sdetweil]

@Spinster yes you need both

I am away from my system for another couple hours

will collapse to one post then

[sdetweil]

@Spinster ok, here is the final

in calendar.js

add these variables

		updateOnFetch: true,
		useIPAddress: false     // add config var
	},
	timerHandle:null,                 // add this
	ourIPAddress:null,              // add this 
	requiresVersion: "2.1.0",

change this

	// Override start method.
	start () {

to
this

	// Override start method.
	startup () {

add this code

			let ip_match = false;
			if(this.config.useIPAddress){
			 const client_ip_for_this_calendar = this.getCalendarProperty(calendar.url, "ipaddress", null)
			 if(this.ourIPAddress)
			 	  ip_match = client_ip_for_this_calendar.includes(this.ourIPAddress)
			}
			if(this.config.useIPAddress == false || ip_match==true)
			  this.addCalendar(calendar.url, calendar.auth, calendarConfig);   // old original   line 

and add this routine somewhere

  notificationReceived(notification,payload){
  	if(notification === 'ALL_MODULES_STARTED'){
  		// if we are using ip address checking
  		if(this.config.useIPAddress){
  			// loop thru all the modules
  			let m = MM.getModules().withClass("getip");
  			if(m.length){
  				// if getip is configured and not disabled
  				if((m[0].disabled== undefined || (m[0].disabled != undefined && m[0].disabled == false)) ){
  					// start a timer to wait for getip to finish
  					this.timerHandle = setInterval(()=>{
  						// get its dom content
  						let client_ip = document.getElementById("getip_address")
  						// if we found id
  						if(client_ip !== null){
  							// stop the timer
  							clearInterval(this.timerHandle)
  							// save our IP address, only need to look it up once
  							this.ourIPAddress=client_ip.innerText
  							// call startup
  							this.startup()
  						}
  					}, 500)
  				}
  			}
  			// thru the loop, didn't start a timer, module not found
			  if(this.timerHandle === null){
					// didn't find getip
					// module not found, can't do this later either
					this.config.useIPAddress = false;
					this.startup()
				}
			}
  		// use default
  		else
  			this.startup()
  	} 
  	else if (notification === "FETCH_CALENDAR") {
			this.sendSocketNotification(notification, { url: payload.url, id: this.identifier+(this.ourIPAddress?'_'+this.ourIPAddress:'') });
		}
  },

and in the socketNotificationReceived routine
change this

	socketNotificationReceived (notification, payload) {
		if (notification === "FETCH_CALENDAR") {
			this.sendSocketNotification(notification, { url: payload.url, id: this.identifier });
		}

		if (this.identifier !== payload.id) {
			return;
		}

to this

	socketNotificationReceived (notification, payload) {

		if (this.identifier+(this.ourIPAddress?'_'+this.ourIPAddress:'') !== payload.id) {
			return;
		}

and in the addCalendar routine
change this

		id: this.identifier,

to this

		id: this.identifier+(this.ourIPAddress?'_'+this.ourIPAddress:''),

to use

add the getip module to config.js, anywhere
add property to calendar above the calendars list (but still inside the config:{}{ section)

useIPAddress:true,

in any cal url block you want to be sensitive to IP address add property

    ipaddress:"xxx yyy zzz",  // space separated list of client ipaddresses this calendar can be displayed on

andhow

After installing MonkeyPatch and adding the patch you have mentioned, I get the following error message when I run , npm run config:check
[2024-05-07 23:32:55.179] [INFO] Checking file… /home/vjkings/MagicMirror/config/config.js
[2024-05-07 23:32:55.222] [ERROR] Your configuration file contains syntax errors :(
[2024-05-07 23:32:55.223] [ERROR] Line 56 column 20: Parsing error: Unexpected token function

As per config.js, Line 56 is this

patch: async function (original, args) {

Whole section of patch as follows
patch: async function (original, args) {
const [ notification, payload ] = args
if (notification === “CALENDAR_EVENTS”) {
const calendarName = this.config.calendars.find((cal) => cal.url === payload?.url)?.name
const r = await fetch(‘http://192.168.1.4:8080/modules/getip’)
const ip = JSON.parse(await r.text())?.[ ‘address’ ] ?? null
if (!this.config.clientMap?.[ ip ]?.includes(calendarName)) {
return original(notification, { …payload, events: [] })
}
}
return original(notification, payload)
}

If I ignore the error and run the server, I don’t get any calendar and it just says Loading… in the mirror page
What is the reason for the error. Please advice

@sdetweil

Wow, Clear, will try it and provide feedback please.
