      Hi all,

      i’m trying to prepare everything on SW site before i start building MM and i have almost everything except birthdays … :(

      i’m using iCloud to store my contacts birthdays but i’m not able to find way how to import them to calendar module on MM2

      i’ve found and installed this module :
      MMM-iCloud-Client

      i’ve installed it and also dependecies :
      npm install ical-generator
      npm install icloud
      npm install nedb --save

      in config/config.js i’ve updated entry with
      {
      module: ‘MMM-iCloud-Client’,
      config: {
      username: “appleID”,
      password: “password”,
      countrycode: “49”,
      }
      },

      also i’ve edited modules/default/calendar/calendar.js and added this code to it (below US-Holidays.ics …entry) :
      {
      symbol: ‘birthday-cake’,
      url: ‘http://localhost:8080/MMM-iCloud-Client/birthdays’,
      }

      but it’s still not showing any birthday even if upcomming are in 2 days.

      Can someone help me what i’m doing wrong ?

      Thank you

          i’ve tried to remove module MMM-iCloud-Client
          (rm -rf MMM-iCloud-Client in modules dir)

          then i’ve installed it from beginning as written in Readme

          when i’ve executed “npm install” in MMM-iCloud-Client directory i get this information :
          /MagicMirror/modules/MMM-iCloud-Client $ npm install
          npm WARN deprecated node-uuid@1.4.8: Use uuid module instead
          npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file.

          found 1 low severity vulnerability
          run npm audit fix to fix them, or npm audit for details

          i’ve executed “npm audit” and error is according lodash

          i’ve tried also “npm audit fix” but i get

          /MagicMirror/modules/MMM-iCloud-Client $ npm install
          npm WARN deprecated node-uuid@1.4.8: Use uuid module instead
          npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file.

          i’ve searched and tried to install lodash manually by “npm install lodash”

          /MagicMirror/modules/MMM-iCloud-Client $ npm install lodash

            run npm audit fix to fix them, or npm audit for details

          can someone help ? I’m not sure if this is root cause why Birthday is not working as it should but this is the only error i can see.

              there is a default calendar module that automatically came with MM2

              And there are others, I personally like MMM-CalendarExt.

                  I work mainly with Google, I haven’t personally used iCloud. Have also worked with Yahoo and Hotmail. Google is my favorite…

                  This is my list of calendars:
                  0_1533243435622_Screenshot (22).png

                  And, this is how I put into my calendar module…

                  "calendars": [
                    {
                      "name": "Family Stuff",
                      "symbol": "heart@fa",
                      "url": "Calendar link here",
                      "interval": 24*60*60*1000
                    },
                    {
                      "name": "US Holiday",
                      "url": "Calendar link here",
                      "symbol": "gift@fa",
                      "interval": 24*60*60*1000,
                      "maxEntries": 50, "maxDays":365
                    },
                    {
                       "name": "Birthdays",
                       "symbol": "birthday-cake",
                       "url": "Calendar link here"
                    },
                    {
                    // "name": "KC Chiefs",
                       "symbol": "football-ball@fa",
                       "url": "Calendar link here",
                       "interval": 24*60*60*1000
                    },
                    {
                       "name": "NFL Games",
                       "url": "Calendar link here",
                       "symbol": "football-ball@fa",
                       "interval": 24*60*60*1000
                    },
                    {
                       "name": "NFL Playoff Games",
                       "url": "Calendar link here",
                       "symbol": "football-ball@fa",
                       "interval": 24*60*60*1000
                    },
                  ],

                    @justjim1220 We are all able to do that, to clarify the issue. The objective is to find a way to use an iCloud calendar without having a public url, which is what your google calendar is currently using. By using a public URL, web crawlers are able to find and read your calendar events.

                      @maros you can add the bday calendar in the default calendar module by making your iCloud calendar public (tick the box circled in this screenshot), and you should be given a link that you can copy into the config file.
                      If you want to use google calendars, it should be similar. Just look up how to publicly share a google calendar, and get the link from there to put into your config.

                        @maros One problem (which this thread was originally trying to solve) was the inability to prevent others from accessing the calendar. If a web crawler can find your link, they too will be able to read your calendar.
