Recurring events Calender

[bhepler]

@mr_moore - Just to be sure, you did set the location of your Pi using the raspi-config tool or going through the UI system configuration? That’s a likely culprit.

By default, the Raspbian OS thinks it is British. I have to set the time zone, language and keyboard first thing after every OS flash. If I don’t, the keyboard special characters are all off, I can’t get my passwords to work, and it thinks football is played without helmets.

@bhepler - I have the right time zone. The clock is correct. And if i have a one time appointment in the Google Calender it wil show the correct time at the MM. It is only when i have recurring events that it will show two hours wrong.

[bhepler]

@mr_moore - Hmm. Can you check the recurring events through Google’s interface and make sure the time zones on those events is correct?

[Mr_Moore]

@bhepler everything looks ok in Google Calender. See snapshots from Google and Mirror. Two reccuring events and one with only this day.

Did you solve this problem? I have the same one at the moment.

@MajorC did u install the temp calendar fixes from the troubleshooting section?

[MajorC]

Sorry, what? Can you provide me a link?

[sdetweil]

@MajorC temp calendar fixes from the troubleshooting section?

the troubleshooting section of the forum, the topics are pinned to the top

================================================================

note

these temp fixes were for 2.12

all the fixes are now in 2.13 (or the latest develop branch, see below)

@sdetweil did you manage to fix this? I have similar issues, mine being 1 hour early ;)

[sdetweil]

@dawookie1979 if you load the develop branch, it has all the fixes

if manual install

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout develop

if my install script

cd ~/MagicMiror
git fetch origin develop:develop
git checkout develop

restart MM normally

if u see that package-lock.json has changed, preventing the checkout, do
git checkout package-lock.json

then restart the above

[dawookie1979]

@sdetweil thanks for that, but I get error. Your local changes to the following files… please commit or stash them before? What do I need to do

[sdetweil]

@dawookie1979 what files?
need the names

[dawookie1979]

@sdetweil error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout:
modules/default/calendar/calendar.js
modules/default/weatherforecast/weatherforecast.js
Please commit your changes or stash them before you switch branches.
Aborting

[sdetweil]

@dawookie1979 those are mm files.

some users don’t understand that you should never change those files to prevent the very problem u are having.

you put variables in the config section of the module entry in config.js to adjust how the module operates

see the link below in my signature on how to add modules.

the command

git diff filename 

will show u all the changes you have made.
write them down, and transfer those to config.js for each module
calendar and weatherforecast

then we can work on the next step

[dawookie1979]

@sdetweil i have made the changes to the files, but it says this

code_text

but there is no gap between these entries?```

[sdetweil]

@dawookie1979 ok, looks like you changed the code in the weatherforecast module…

so, you can save/restore that… how about the calendar file

[dawookie1979]

@sdetweil i have done calendar file, how do i get an original weatherforcast.js file? or restore it?

[sdetweil]

@dawookie1979 do

git stash

you may have to register your name and email with the git commands shown from stash

[dawookie1979]

@sdetweil I have sorted it now, I just deleted the stuck file, and did the upgrade/update to 2.14 and all is good. My calendar is now fixed. Thank you for your help
