Help with calendar

sdetweil

@gerbenz ok, can you show the output of starting MagicMirror

if you are using pm2 then
pm2 logs --lines=xxx
xxx is the number of most recent lines , default 15

you may need more
careful the cal broadcast message contains the full url so coukd expose personal info

is it broadcasting events ?

gerbenz

@sdetweil

only see events when i place orriginal callendar too,

then the addon works good.

wierd.

sdetweil

@gerbenz no idea

can you show the calendar configuration
(xxx out the urls but don’ change anything else)

you ARE just commenting out the calendar position line, right??
mine looks like this

      {
        module: "calendar",
        classes: "page1",
        //position: "top_left",
        order: "*",
        index: 1,
        label: "instance 1",
        config: {
          broadcastPastEvents: true,
          fetchInterval: 120000,
          urgency: 0,
          dateFormat: "Do.MMM, HH:mm",
          fullDayEventDateFormat: "Do.MMM",
          getRelative: 0,
          hidePrivate: true,
          calendars: [

@gerbenz fetch every 60 seconds?

might be a spammer

how about try 5 mins
and comment out the position

Ext3 tries not to flash the screen w updates, you are probably running into that with so frequent updates and so many cals all at different times

you can look at the pm2’log and see timestamps when events are sent from each cal

gerbenz

@sdetweil

updating the screen works good.
all calendars are working.
butt when i hide the standard calendar then te addon calandar lost the events and is empty

sdetweil

@gerbenz but thats not how it works! the calendar module just keeps sending even when no position is specified.

i have both setup on my system and it works perfectly

maybe 10releases ago modules w no
position would not be run

you should be able to see the broadcasts go out in the logs

sdetweil

@gerbenz show me the default calendar config whenExt3 is not working.

gerbenz

@sdetweil

I changed nothing, only possition to unknown dor the standard calendar.

And then the addon calendar is show no events

sdetweil

@gerbenz no, NOT unknown, thats invalid, module will not be loaded (there will be an error in the log about this)

just add
//

to the front of the line w position on it to comment it out

see mine that i posted earlier
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/post/123049

gerbenz

@sdetweil

Okay i give it a try tomorrow.

Thanks so far for youre help.

I lett it know if it works.
And do i need delete the adresses from the standard calendar or not?

sdetweil

@gerbenz address?

look at my example

gerbenz

@sdetweil

I mean urls,

I have in both the same urls for the calendar

sdetweil

@gerbenz i do not understand

gerbenz

@sdetweil

// for the position line was the solution.

Thank u so much.

Now only need the calendar what bigger and every schedule my wife kids and me different colors and bigger text.

Only need to fins out how this works

sdetweil

@gerbenz all the size and style for Ext3 family of modules is done with css. there is lots of control, and lots to learn

gerbenz

@sdetweil

yes a lot to learn.

i have in the calendar conifg: useSymbol: false,
butt then i gett a dott at the beginning of the event.
is it possible to remove it?

and i have six calendars with different collors and that works.
but hole day events don’t color.
They have black text with white border around it.

i want the color that is corrosponding with the right calendar.

alt text

and this is my custom.css

yes, some css setting

css setting

I don’t know all the possible css settings for this module. the author has made it quite flexible via css… but like all decent manuals/readme, he provides a reference (this module has these things) , “application” of the things takes critical thinking and exploration.

one thing to help learn/make progress is to use the browser developer window, elements tab to userstand/test css changes on the live page
