multiple calendars

    Hi,

    I’ve got the magic mirror up and running on a Pi3. I got the calendar to work with an exchange .ics. Now I’m trying to add a second calendar (gmail) working.

    This page says that it should be possible:

    The calendar module is one of the default modules of the MagicMirror. This module displays events from a public .ical calendar. It can combine multiple calendars.

    It’s not exactly clear on how to add the second url. I tried a whole bunch of different ways including adding commas etc. Can someone write out for me how it needs to be entered in config.js?

    Thanks.

    config: {
    calendars: [
        {
            url: 'http://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics',
            symbol: 'calendar',
        },
    ],
}

  • @deadherring My Config Looks like this. Hope this helps

    # code block
                module: 'calendar',
			header: 'Events',
			position: 'top_left',
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
						url: 'calendar url'
					},
					{
						symbol: 'calendar-plus-o ',
						url: 'calendar url'
					},
					{
						symbol: 'calendar-plus-o ',
						url: 'calendar url'
					},
					{
						symbol: 'birthday-cake',
						url: 'calendar url'
					},
					{
						symbol: 'rocket ',
						url: 'https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/msacpn523mpjgq0jlooh41eme4%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics'
						// Rocket Launch Calendar 
					}
				]
			}
		},

    Okay I’ve tried that exactly as it is with my two additional calendars and I can’t get it to show anything but the Holidays one even if I change the order of them listed. I made sure to grab the private Ical along with checking it in the debugger which returns results of calendar items from my personal calendar. Thoughts?

    Post a copy of that portion of your config.js file here so that people can take a look at it. You’ll likely get an answer quicker that way. Just x-out any private info or keys before you post it. If you care to try again, here is my calendar entry. It SHOULD work if you replace a correct url with mine.

    {
			module: 'calendar',
			position: 'top_left',
			config: {
			urgency: 0,
			getRelative: 0,
			fadePoint: 0.25, // Start on 1/4th of the list.
				calendars: [
					{
						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
						url: 'webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics'
					},
					{
						url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/private-xxxxxxxxxxxxx/basic.ics'
					},
				],
			}
		},

    @brownco9 I added the urgency and getRelative after seeing yours and it didn’t change.

    First thing I see is you are missing a comma after the last ]

    It should look like this ],

    @Mykle1 fixed the comma, no change. I made sure to wait 5 minutes so the fetch could go.
