@j.e.f.f Sorry to keep bothering you, i have everything on the screen now apart from the google calender. Can i embed in as an iframe on the html page? As i am familiar with html.

@PCPAYN3 google calendar should work – I’m using two separate google calendars with mine.

You can confirm that you got your ics link by following these instructions?

@j.e.f.f Hi jeff yes thats what ive done and got that link and still not showing. Do i edit the module to show this link? Or in the config file? As i tried to also edit the .js file in the MMM-Calendar module but it said permission denied when saving.

As I know, private calendar sharing works only in Google Calendar. If you want to use calendar in other application, you should use public calendar. (I might be wrong.)

I worked with @PCPAYN3 over chat to figure out this issue. For anyone else this might help, the problem was as follows:

The following error came up in the log:
Error: dates lower than Thu Jan 01 1970 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (EST) are not supported

A bit of Googling pointed me to this thread:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/2208/calendar-shows-no-entries-after-mm-update/29?page=3

Apparently the problem is that there is an entry in the calendar that has a date prior to Jan 1, 1970. The solution was to edit the following file:

/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/rrule-alt/lib/rrule.js

and change the ORDINAL_BASE property on line 56 to an earlier date.

example, I changed:
ORDINAL_BASE: new Date(1970, 0, 1),

to
ORDINAL_BASE: new Date(1900, 0, 1),

and then the calendar worked.

@j.e.f.f Hi Jeff! I love your module and its been easily booting up nicely. However, I tried adding two of my google calendars on it, and as I booted the module it up, it loaded and said no upcoming events. While today I dont have any events, tomorrow I do. I set the max number of days in the future to a huge number but stilll nothing. Any ideas?

@zzaidi148 Can you confirm that you got your Gmail ICS link by following the instructions here?

If so, send me a private message and I’ll troubleshoot your config.

@j.e.f.f Thank You! Spent 3 days trying to figure this out after my SD card corrupted and I had to rebuild my MM.

Hi all. Has someone seen this? Today ist the 4th. The second term is wrong “heute” (today) and the third term is correct “morgen” (tomorrow)
