MMM-MyCalendar

Re: MMM-MyCalendar
@j-e-f-f Thanks a lot for the latest update. Now I have a request for an addittion.

In the line with the appointment date and time my line in Dutch now reads
“Morgen om 19:00” > “Tomorrow at 19:00”
Can we ad a suffix word like “joiningWord”? In this way I can configure my appointment day and time line as
“Morgen om 19:00 uur” > “Tomorrow at 19:00 hour”
When you don’t want the suffix make it possible to use an empty string like joiningWord (suffixWord : “”)

On Github I sent you my proposed file changes.

Thanks in advance.

@pjkoeleman you can add that into your timeFormat config, like so:

timeFormat : "HH:mm [uur]"

Anything in the square brackets will display exactly as you type it.

@j.e.f.f
That will do as well, thanks for your repley.

I love this module. Very nicely made. But i would like to be able to show a calender with every single day + something special to show the holidays(i only use it for holidays now)
Can i create an ical with all the days in it and maybe have a certain color for holidays?

[j.e.f.f]

@Kimzer Do you mean you want to display the whole year? If so that is not what this is designed to do. The thinking behind this is that you really don’t spend a lot of time looking at the mirror, so it only displays information that is immediately useful and that can be consumed in about 30 seconds.

That said, I think I saw a calendar module that displays a month at a time that might be more in line with what you are looking for. Sorry I don’t remember its name but if you do a search I’m sure you’ll find it.

@j.e.f.f should be calendar_monthly by @KirAsh4

@Kimzer Consider MMM-CalendarExt. It has daily view.(or something more than)

Nice module, great work.

Now I see the US calendar but I would like to see a Belgian calendar with school hollidays and also where I can add local appointments.
How can I do this - any instructions or help would be great

[j.e.f.f]

@Johans Try this site:

https://calendar.teamup.com/kb/holiday-calendar-feeds-preview-teamup/

There is one for Belgium there, as well as a whole bunch of countries.

To add your own appointments, just follow the same instructions as the default calendar for adding your own calendar account.

@j.e.f.f
thanks for the link - seems this is what i needed

[Johans]

Hi, Installed this module as replacement of the standard calendar module.
I’m using a private made teamup calendar, and all shows fine, except I don’t know how to get the colors & small icon as shon in your picture.
Can you expain how to achieve this.
thx

[j.e.f.f]

@Johans The colours are set per calendar in your config as follows:

calendars: [
  {
      url: "http://path.to.som/calendar.ics",
      color: "#ffb350"
  }
]

As for the little icon, are you referring to the icon in the title that looks like a stack of bills with wings? That is an emoji used in the calendar entry itself, and has nothing to do with the module. In fact, this will show up by default as an empty square when run on a Raspberry Pi. You can install an emoji font, but the best you’ll get is a white outline. You won’t get colour.

@j.e.f.f
thanks, that seems to work.
second question, How do I add 2 or more calendars?

[j.e.f.f]

@Johans The calendars portion of the config is an array. You can specify multiple calendars like so:

calendars: [
  {
      url: "http://path.to.some/calendar.ics",
      color: "#ffb350"
  },
  {
      url: "http://path.to.another/calendar.ics",
      color: "#ff77d4"
  }
]

Each calendar can have its own colour setting so that you can tell what the source of the event is.

@j.e.f.f

Thank you.
All fine now.

Hey @j-e-f-f , i got another issue ^^
I updated MagicMirror to the new version and your modules also.

It is just strange wide, no text but it streches the left moduls and wasting space

Thats how it looks now:

And how it should look (MyCalendar temporary disabled)

Regards Manuel :-)

[j.e.f.f]

@kruemel The module is configured to use the full width of the containing region (e.g.: top_left) up to a maximum of 500px. If you want it to be narrower, then you can add a rule in your custom.css file to control the width of the containers. For example, I have this in my custom.css file:

.region.right .module-content,
.region.left .module-content {
  min-width: 300px;
  max-width: 300px;
}

This limits top_right, top_left bottom_right and bottom_left to an explicit width of 300px. MMM-MyCalendar, MMM-MyCommute and any of my other modules will conform to this width.

[kruemel]

@j-e-f-f Okay thank you very much.
I will do it like this but i still want to understand why the “MyCalendar” streches so much with no text and your other module “MyCommute” doesnt?
Why you configured this differently?

[j.e.f.f]

@kruemel HTML is a funny thing. It can use space in all sorts of ways depending on the situation. In the case of the MMM-MyCalendar module, it is a modification of the default calendar, but generally it is much the same. Its layout is done with tables. MMM-MyCommute, on the other hand, is completely written from the ground up. It’s layout is made up of DIV and SPAN elements, fully styled and positioned with CSS. They are two different animals.
