hmm i don’t use G suit, so at this moment, have no idea how things going. I’ll research.
(maybe 3rd party converter module could be possible to solve that issue without modification of this module directly)

@Sean I figure Google’s gonna do that to main accounts sooner or later. GSuite is usually the test bed.

I’m likely going to be moving my calendar agenda system, depends on what my appointment manager supports.

@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

[sdetweil]

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.
