MMM-CalendarExt cant get the calendar to show

glitchgod

My hope is to create a plain Calendar for the entire month on a 23in monitor and has 3 different calendar sources. The calendar would sit in the top left underneath the current date and time, and this calendar would take up majority of the screen but leave room for some weather modules on the top right. That’s all this thing is going to be used for.

My issue is that I cant seem to get this calendar to show.

My code from going section by section:

{
	module: 'MMM-CalendarExt',
	position: "top_left", //anywhere. It is not related to real position of view
	config: { // Read below
	  system: {
		  show: ['daily'],
		  locale: '', //when omitted, default value would be your system default locale by moment.js
		  showEmptyView: 1,
		  fullDayEventLocalize: 1,
		  redrawInterval: 30*60*1000, //minimum 60000
		  useProfileConfig: 0,
		  startProfile: ''
		},
		defaultView: {
		  position: 'bottom_bar',
		  positionOrder: -1,
		  overflowRolling: 0,
		  overflowHeight: 0,
		  overflowDuration: 2,
		  timeFormat: 'HH:mm',
		  dateFormat: "MMM Do",
		  fullDayEventDateFormat: "MMM Do",
		  ellipsis: 0,
		  limit:0,
		  oneLineEvent:0,
		  replaceTitle:[],
		  classPattern:[],
		  classPatternWhere:["title"],
		  symbolPattern:[],
		  symbolPatternWhere:["title"]
		},
		views: {
			month: {
				showWeeks: 1,
				weeksTitle: 'weeks',
				weeksFormat: 'wo',
				weekdayFormat: 'dd',
				titleFormat : 'D',
				overTitleFormat : 'MMM D',
				monthTitleFormat: "MMMM",
			},
		},
         defaultCalendar: {
		  profiles: [],
		  views: [],
		  symbol: "",
		  styleName: "",
		  replaceTitle:[],
		  classPattern: [],
		  classPatternWhere: ["title"],
		  symbolPattern: [],
		  symbolPatternWhere: ["title"],
		  maxEntries:50,
		  maxDays:180,
		  interval: 1800000,
		},

	  calendars: [
		  {
			name: "Stars",
			url: "webcal://cantonbecker.com/astronomy-calendar/astrocal.ics",
		  },
		  {
			name: "US Holiday",
			url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics",
			maxEntries: 50,
			maxDays:365,
			interval: 24*60*60*1000,
		  }
		],
	},
}

this code resulted in a giant nothing showing.

I then tried what Im guessing is the basic defualt

{
  module: 'MMM-CalendarExt',
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
    calendars: [
      {
        url: "http://mlb.am/tix/mariners_schedule_full"
      }
    ]
  }
},

Still nothing showed up.

@glitchgod
Check pm2 log mm or npm start dev. Leave your error messages of terminal and browser dev console.
In many cases, error(even from other modules) could prevent loading modules properly.

okay here it is

@glitchgod
First. All of error messages [DBX...] are not related with CalendarExt. For clearer test, disable DropboxWallpaper.(and all other modules except for CalendarExt)
Second, npm start dev should be run on your magic mirror directory(It might be ~/MagicMirror, not ~/)
So, Just check again.

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start dev

It could show your MM and an additional window for developer console. You might find error mark (red circled X mark and numbers, if exists). In that case, move to tab Console, you could see errors.

@Sean said in MMM-CalendarExt cant get the calendar to show:

r

alright ran the dev mode in the proper directory
the screen that showed up looks like the Chrome’s “F12” option

There were no errors or issues highlighed or showing the X on them, however the calendar somewhat showed up in a weird way after i commented out everything but the calendar.

It showed up in the bottom left with only "Tuesday /Wensday/ Thurday/ Friday " and a single calendar line.

Picture proof

Im still running with the Default script

{
  module: 'MMM-CalendarExt',
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
    calendars: [
      {
        url: "http://mlb.am/tix/mariners_schedule_full"
      }
    ]
  }
},

SSSoo some progress

After letting the SSH run for a few minutes an error did show up

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

Ok, we are progressed.
Try this. And you can know what was problem. ;)

      config: {
        system: {
          show: ['month'],
        },
        views: {
          month: {
            position:'bottom_bar',
          },
        },
        calendars :[
          {
            url:"http://mlb.am/tix/mariners_schedule_full"
          },
        ]
     }

Ok. I tell you the truth.

there is no more schedule for Seatle Mariners in this month. That is why empty frame is shown.
Try this url : https://ics.fixtur.es/v2/eintracht-frankfurt.ics

And, Port error is not related with modules (I think)

glitchgod

Alright it’s up and running.
Thank you Sean
the steep by steep fix you have given was excellent :)

glitchgod

After re enabling all the modules it seems

“MMM-ethereum”

causes it not to show up.
The way i found out is commenting out each module one by one

Just for future
