@Sean,

I’m trying to add an ICS file, but it’s throwing an error, but other calendars accepts it.

The url is http://www.tax.gov/calendar/employer/calendar.ics

Log from PM2 LOGS shows this error:

[CALEXT2] calendar:irs >> invalid date-time value: “2016-12-30T::”

Is it the US Government not knowing what’s going on, or is it a bug in the code?

Thanks!

Thanks for the great module, it is the main reason for my Magic Mirror / picture frame.

Could you explain the syntax for using the “transform” command to change the title of an event to a shorter abbreviation (e.g. “jack climbing” = > “J.C.”)? I have some items in my calendar that are displayed on the monthly view with a title “Dinner: Taco Soup” and I would like to use transform to remove the "Dinner: " from the title. I have searched the documentation and the forum, but am having a tough time figuring out how I need to specify this in my config.js (or custom.css).

Basically, read this.
https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/Filtering-and-Sorting#transforming

You need some basic skills in JavaScript. Anyway, I’ll show some examples;

0. Original

I’ve added two events on 25th Dec. Lunch:Taco Soup Once and Dinner:Taco Soup Twiceon my Google calendar.

Hmmmm Taco Soup on Christmas, what a poor…

It will be shown like this on MMM-CalendarExt2 without transforming;

1. Remove Dinner:

transform: (event)=>{
  event.title = event.title.replace("Dinner:", "")
  return event
}

will make this;

2. give more transforming.

transform: (event)=>{
  if (event.title.search("Dinner:") > -1) {
    event.title = event.title.replace("Dinner:", "")
    event.icon = "emojione-pot-of-food"
    event.className = "myDinnerClass"
  }
  return event
}

I’ve added icon and specific CSS class selector. So you can define your CSS class on MagicMirror/css/custom.css like this;

.CX2 .myDinnerClass {
  color: Black;
  background-color: Yellow;
}

It will be shown like this;
!

Of course, there would be more tricks if you know javascript somehow.

If you are not familiar with Javascript,… hmmm sorry for you. Anyway, this is DIY project. There is no ready-made out-of-box arts.

Hello together.

Is it possible to Show two different calendars, on two different pages (mmm-pages)?

[A Former User]

@Clubjack
Possible.
You need 2 scenes which have independent views of your calendars.
Then, read this;

@Sean

But i want to same looking calendars with same View.
I try it, with coping the mmm-calendarext2 and rename it to mmm-calendarext2.2

This module will not work like that.

But i want to same looking calendars with same View.

Just make one more view with the same configured values.

@Sean Thank you for your quick response! I will practice my Javascript

[sdetweil]

@jdfraser really no javascript , just stuff in config…

you have for Ext2 a config section
which has

scenes: {
     [
         { name:  "scene1",
             viewes: ["view1", "view2"]
         },
         { name:  "scene2",            // < --- make secodn scene that looks like the 1st
             viewes: ["view1", "view2"]
         },
    ]
}
Views: {
     [
         { name:  "view1"
         },
         {  name: "view2"
         }
     ]
}
