MMM-MyCalendar

j.e.f.f

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.
(making sure I remember where I store my backup .img)

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)

@Buggy
I don’t know why creater leave this issue until now, but there is a hot-fix about that.

@Sean Thank you. I will apply this hot-fix.

@Sean I’m currently moving to the UK, so I haven’t had time to fix this. If the hot fix worked for you, then great! I probably won’t get around to addressing this until sometime in the new year.

@j.e.f.f Hi all, firstly thanks for this module - it’s fab. I’m having the exact same issue as above with today/tomorrow not working properly. I tried applying the hotfix, but it didn’t seem to work for me (though that was quite a way beyond my skill level so I could have done that wrong!). Has anyone else got this sorted?

Hello,

first of all thanks for the great looking module.
Unfortunately I don‘t get it up on my side…

It doesnt‘t show anything no matter if I load your example ics or my iCloud calendar Url (is this supposed to work?)

Below you can see my module config, maybe someone can help me out :)

{
		module: "MMM-MyCalendar",
		position: "top_left",
		config: {
			maximumEntries: 6,
			calendars: [
				{
					url: "http://calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics"
			}
			]
		}
	},

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
René
