Adding Google Calendar in MMM

[A Former User]

@hoofta
For what? Exactly what do you want?

[hoofta]

I am trying to add my Google calendars to show up in MMM. I see that I need to add all of my calendars individually to get my full schedule but nothing seems to work for me. All that populates is the default US Holidays. I have set my calendar to public and have gotten the appropriate ical link from Google but I’m still stuck.

@hoofta
Can you show us your ical url? If you don’t mind the privacy…
Or can you make us a sample calendar url for test? We have no telesight :)

Hmmm… There is no event in that calendar.

[hoofta]

@Sean refresh. I just added two events.

@hoofta
Well, I can see your calendar in default calendar module and MMM-CalendarExt also well. But you can’t?

{
			module: "calendar",
			header: "Events",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
						symbol: "calendar-check-o ",
						url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/hoofta%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics"
					}
				]
			}
		},

Try this configuration.

@Sean (due to my newbie status) this goes in the config.js or calendar.js?

[A Former User]

@hoofta
ok. open your config/config.js and put that codes under these;

modules: [
		{
			module: "alert",
		},
                // here.

@Sean :-/ it’s stuck with “Loading…”

How is your internet condition? Your mirror is connected to internet?

[hoofta]

@Sean typically strong - fiber with at least 500gb up/down. (typing on laptop now). Internet seems very slow on r.pi running MMM. Any suggestions to boost internet speed?

@hoofta
no, just checking things clearly.
And let’s check more things;

• How’s other modules? e.g) clock, news feed, or any other third parties… Only calendar module has the problem?
• Default sample “US-Holiday” was shown normally?
• Have you tried npm run config:check? what was the result?
• Have you tried npm start dev ? what was the result?

I’d missed this. if so, that might be the reason. But I have no idea to speed up your internet connections.

@Sean
r.pi speedtest.net returns .1 down speed
I have not been able to get any other third party modules going. I have attempted the MMM-MyCommute and an iframe module for a NestCam. Neither have worked - only broke MMM.
no syntax error from config:check
npm start dev loaded MMM normally with dev script on the right.
only possible red flag is that I see for calendar is in text/javascript there is a double “/” between calendars

@hoofta I’ll play the newbie card on this one and admit I just found an extra “s” at the end of basic, which was causing my issue.

Can I add multiple calendars to the same area so chronologically they play nicely together?

@hoofta nice for you. It will work and ask again.
