I am just looking to reduce that space on the bottom. Not entirely eliminate it, but reduce it.

You’ll also notice that the start time is in 24h format, the end time is in 12h?

1. Some footer is reserved for displaying counter of hidden events. (e.g: +1)

The red area is slotFooter, so you can control it like this;

.CX2 .mySpecificView .slot .slotFooter {
  display:none;
}

2. For the time format;
   Read this first;
   https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/Event-Time

With your previous config, you’ve set timeFormat: h:mm A, but there be more. :D
Upcoming view is somewhat different with other views(e.g: daily view), so the events need date and time together.

Usual format in upcoming view is something like this;

• If the event starts on a specific day and ends on the same day, it would be good to show like this;
  start date/time - end time
• If the event starts on a specific day and ends on the other day, it would be;
  start date/time - end date/time
• If the event is a fullday event and starts/ends in a day;
  start date
• If the event is a fullday event and ends in another day;
  start date - end date
  And those could be combined with relative format, humanized calendar format, … :) Looks so complex!

Anyway, so, you need to set dateFormat and dateTimeFormat also with timeFormat

Set like this;

dateTimeFormat: {
  sameDay: "[Today] h:mm A",
  nextDay: "[Tomorrow] h:mm A",
  nextWeek: "dddd h:mm A",
  lastDay: "[Yesterday] h:mm A",
  lastWeek: "[Last] ddd h:mm A",
  sameElse: "M/D h:mm A"
},

Or simply like this;

dateTimeFormat:"M/D h:mm A",

It will show like this;

@Sean Beautiful! Thank you very much!

I’m trying to use local .ics file for two of my calendars. They are holiday calendars that stay the same throughout the year so they don’t need to be fetched from the web. I just can’t get them to work.
I get the same error message on both of them:

[CALEXT2] calendar: Suomen juhlapyhät >> write EPROTO 1936543760:error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number:../../vendor/node/deps/openssl/openssl/ssl/record/ssl3:record.c:252:

My url looks like this:

url: "https://192.168.1.187:8080/Pyhat.ics",

I tried using

localhost:8080

but it tried to force 127.0.0.1 which don’t work.

@jani-karna
Well, it’s not the issue of my module, anyway…
It seems, your RPI is not available to handle SSL of itself.
Can you open “https://192.168.1.187:8080/Pyhat.ics” or “https://localhost:8080/Pyhat.ics” on the browser of your RPI when MM is running?
Try “http” instead of “https”

[jani.karna]

Have to see if the problem comes back after RPI reinstall. It seems my SD-card just came to the end of its life.

[jani.karna]

I finally had a chance trying this. By trying “https://192.168.1.187:8080/Pyhat.ics” with browser while MM is running I get “ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR”. I have no idea how to solve this. “Localhost” gives a little different error, but so does MM. But neither of them work. I know it is not about your module, but if you have any suggestions I’d be glad to hear.

@jani-karna
try http instead of https

@jani-karna
put your ical file into ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt2 then, try to use this URL;
http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-CalendarExt2/Pyhat.ics

[jani.karna]

@Sean said in MMM-CalendarExt2:

http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-CalendarExt2/Pyhat.ics

For some reason “localhost” tries to use 127.0.0.1 which gives error, but I tried “http://192.168.1.187:8080/modules/MMM-CalendarExt2/Pyhat.ics” and that worked! Thank you!

Hey, Just started using this module, and today’s update blew up everything… It and MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth fails now.

Am I doing something wrong?

		{
			module: 'MMM-CalendarExt2',
				config: {
					calendars : [
						{
							url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/mycalendar/info/basic.ics",
							name: "Main Calendar", // Optional, Recommended
							maxItems: 100,
							scanInterval: 1000*60*1, // 1000*Seconds*minutes
							beforeDays: 0,
							afterDays: 999,
							maxIterations: 100,
							forceLocalTZ: false,
						},
					],
					views: [
						{
							mode: "daily",
							position: "top_center",
							slotCount: 20,
						},
					],
					scenes: [
						{
							name: "DEFAULT",
						},
					],
				},
		},
		{
			module: "MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth",
			position: "bottom_right",
			refreshInterval: 60*2.5*1000,
		},

Thanks!

Sorry, Yesterday I fixed something but it made another bug. I fixed it now.

[BKeyport]

Thanks, that fixed it.

The only thing I can’t figure out then is massive space between the end of the previous day’s activities, and the next day.

Is there a way to solve this? Loving it otherwise.

Controll that margin with hideOverflow and slotMaxHeight .

Hello,
I’m really satisfied with this module. Thank you.
Although, I’m facing an issue. I want to display two calendars in the same view and same scene. The calendars just won’t show. It works individually but not together.

Replace My URL with the original url. Sorry for the indentations.

My config:

{
module: 'MMM-CalendarExt2',
config: {
calendars: [
{
name: "Regular",
url: "My URL",
},
{
name: "University",
url: "my URL",
},
],
views: [
{
title: "Calendar",
mode: "daily", fromNow:2, slotCount:2,
type: "row",
position: "upper_third",
calendars: ["Regular", "University"],
},
],
scenes: [
{
name: "DEFAULT",
},
],
},
},

My CSS:

body {
 
 }
 
/* .CX2 .slot .event {
background: inherit;
 }*/
 
 .CX2 .slot .slotHeader {
background-color: inherit;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: "Roboto Condensed", Arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: 400;
color: #999;
 }

.CX2 .event[data-calendar-name="Regular"] {
border-left: #0098e9 solid;
}

.CX2 .event[data-calendar-name="University"] {
border-left: #60bb41 solid;
}

Don’t you need to call out the view name the scene?

[A Former User]

@Mariba
Well, I haven’t inspected your code yet, but most of the cases, it would be maxItems issue of view. For the performance, default maxItems of view is set to 100. If your calendars might have many events, set that option to a bigger value. You can estimate the number needed with your serverside log.

[BKeyport]

@Sean Neither of those are what I would want. No matter how many items I have, there is a space there. I want to rid myself of the excess blank space, so that I can fit more real items into the display. When the day is empty there is very little space between days.

[Mariba]

@Sean Hello,
I tried with maxItems set to 10. I’m definitely sure that I dont have more than 8 items with the calendars combined. It still doesn’t solve the problem.

[mrmagoo_83]

How does one replace a parentheses in the title of an event?
