MMM-CalendarExt

@isaac2004 I need log or more detailed info to catch what happened.

[mmmmh]

I successfully use the module on two other screens. I just set up a new one without tweaks and I run into the following error in the console (nothing gets loaded, server-side there are no errors being logged):

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: hookDom.appendChild is not a function

@mmmmh did you set a position of view? your error says there might be an issue. I’m on a business trip now so i cannot check at this moment. later i’ll look inside.

[mmmmh]

@Sean yes, I set it to top_left:

{
            module: 'MMM-CalendarExt',
            position: "top_left", //anywhere. It is not related to real position of view
            classes: "default standard everyone",
            config: { // Read below
                system: {
                    show: ['current', 'upcoming'],
                    locale: 'de',
                    showEmptyView: 0,
                    fullDayEventLocalize: 1,
                    redrawInterval: 300000, 
                },
                defaultView: {
                    position: 'calendar',
                    positionOrder: -1,
                    overflowRolling: 0,
                    overflowHeight: 0,
                    overflowDuration: 2,
                    timeFormat: 'H:mm',
                    dateFormat: "ddd, D. MMM",
                    fullDayEventDateFormat: "ddd, D. MMM",
                    ellipsis: 0,
                    limit: 20,
                    oneLineEvent: 1,
                },
                views: {
                    current: {
                        title: "Now...",
                        direction: "column",
                        showEmptyView: 0,
                        useRelative: 0,
                    },
                    upcoming: {
                        title: "Was steht an...",
                        direction: "column",
                        useRelative: 0,
                        overflowHeight: 0,
                        overflowRolling: 0,
                    },
                },
                calendars: [
                    {
                        name: "XXXX",
                        symbol: "male",
                        styleName: "style24",
                        url: "redacted",

                        auth: {
                            user: 'redacted',
                            pass: 'redacted',
                            method: 'basic'
                        }
                    },
                    
                ],

            },
        },

Don’t worry, it’s not urgent.

@mmmmh

Well, I tried with yours and it works.
But two things you probably have wrong.

• url: "redacted", is it right? it will make parsing error and it could be reason of your front error message.
• showEmptyView:1 will affect on only system level, not view level. You’ve set showEmptyView:0 in system, so empty view will not appear.

[mmmmh]

@Sean thanks for making the effort to test it. I went the same way now. I removed everything and picked a public trash collection calendar (nice idea of yours) - still the same error. (I also commented out the showEmptyView options.)

The error appears locally (RPI3+) as well as in web browsers of all flavors.

Here’s the full config file:

var config = {
    address: "",
    port: 8080,
    ipWhitelist:
        [],

    units: "metric",
    modules: [
        {
            module: 'MMM-CalendarExt',
            position: "top_left", //anywhere. It is not related to real position of view
            classes: "default standard everyone",
            config: { // Read below
                system: {
                    show: ['current', 'upcoming'],
                    locale: 'de',
                    // showEmptyView: 0,
                    fullDayEventLocalize: 1,
                    redrawInterval: 300000, 

                },
                defaultView: {
                    position: 'calendar',

@mmmmh i’m on business trip now, after back home, i’ll try your new config.

Is there a way to repaint the calendar module? I am working on hiding/showing the module with voice control, and for the life of me, I can’t get the UI to repaint after hiding. module.show() is not available in the module so it is not as simple as that

[A Former User]

@isaac2004
Sorry, I cannot catch your point. MMM-CalendarExt can be hidden and revealed by .show() and .hide(). “module.show() is not available in the module” what this means?

[A Former User]

@Sean said in MMM-CalendarExt:

did you set a position of view? your error says there might be an issue.

@mmmmh I don’t know why I missed it. As I’ve said, you have a wrong on position.

defaultView: {
                    position: 'calendar',

position should be region name like top_left, bottom_bar, … Modify it.

(I’m in London now, so the time of events in screenshot will not match with the German time)
