Version 2.30.0 Calendar fix for clipping broadcast events

[sdetweil]

@angeliKITTYx said in Version 2.30.0 Calendar fix for clipping broadcast events:

MMM-GoogleTasks: Cannot find module ‘googleapis’

this sounds like a module install problem

go to the MMM-GoogleTasks module folder and do npm install

[angeliKITTYx]

@sdetweil the install command went through properly, but I’m still getting the same results when I launch MM.

[sdetweil]

@angeliKITTYx there are events broadcast over almost 2 minutes. I think Ext3 tries to hold off updating exactly when events arrive

there is a properties on Ext3

waitFetch 5000 (ms) waiting the fetching of last calendar to prevent flickering view by too frequent fetching.
refreshInterval 1800000 (ms) refresh view by force if you need it.

[sdetweil]

@angeliKITTYx can you go to the MMM-GoogleTasks module folder and do

ls node_modules/googleapis
it should display something

then

rm-rf node_modules
npm install

[sdetweil]

@angeliKITTYx ok, the module has a problem

it didn’t document NEEDING that library (it has no package.json file)

so do the general fix for missing dependencies

see here for the steps

@sdetweil that link fixed the module, thank you! Now just the issue of the calendar. Here’s my config file - did I add those parameters correctly? My Ext3 refreshinterval used to be 105000. Once I changed that and added the fetch, the “all day” events are still showing wrong and I’m down to 2 of 7 calendars showing.

@angeliKITTYx i think the refreshInterval you set is 30 minutes

just for grins , try

 3*60*1000

as your initial load is under that

[angeliKITTYx]

@sdetweil I changed the Ext3 parameter to refreshInterval: “3601000”, and it still looks the same. Do I need to let it sit for an hour to refresh?

[sdetweil]

@angeliKITTYx I don’t know… I suggested trying shorter (quick) to prove the cals arrived…

[angeliKITTYx]

@sdetweil I’m confused then…i was just using the values you provided. Do I need to go back to my refresh of 1.75min? Do I keep the fetch value at 5000?
