What’s different with MMM-CalendarExt

But if you have no dissatisfaction with MMM-CalendarExt, leave it.

• New parser. New look.
• profile is deprecated. scene is more than that.
• Beautiful timeline view (month/week)
• dynamic scene changeable.

MEMO

• I should release this before my winter holidays. So this is not tested fully.
• Bug reports, PR, any other suggestions are always welcome!

The hardest part of development was writing manual…

[Cr4z33]

@sean true, but I have to say that your manuals are the most complete here. :D

Great module! Love the formatting, incredibly beautiful and flexible.

I do have a question - I know I can specify a custom icon per calendar, and I can also customize/replace title text as needed for display, but is there an easy way to provide a custom icon based on text in the title? E.g. Anytime you find the word Birthday in the title, specify a balloon icon? I’ve thought of a few options to do this by filtering the same calendar URL multiple times, but it seemed pretty inefficient from a processing perspective.

@gregp
Not supported directly(even though you can do like your words - filtering same calendar), but good suggesion. I’ll consider that feature on next updates.

@Sean First of all, thanks for the great module! We’re using it at work for car reservation calendar. Can you help me customise it? He’re the config:

{
                        module: "MMM-CalendarExt2",
                        position: "upper_third",
                        config: {
                                calendars : [
                                {
                                url: "https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/supersecret.ics
                                },
                                ],
                                views: [
                                {
                                mode: "weekly",
                                },
                                ],
                                scenes: [
                                {
                                name: "AUTOKALENTERI",
                                },
                                ],
                        },
                },

What I’d like to change:

• hide past days
• show let’s say 10 markings per week
• show no more than two weeks / current week only
• hide the module logo at the center of the screen

[A Former User]

@dmd

hide past days

In calendar configuration, set beforeDays:0 or in view configuration, set filterPassedEvent: true.
https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/2b.-Configuration:Calendar
https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/2c.-Configuration:View

show let’s say 10 markings per week

Sorry I cannot understand what this means. I’m not good at English, sorry. Tell me more detailed description or example.

show no more than two weeks / current week only

I think you are using view:weekly. set fromNow:0 and slotCount:1 on your view configuration.
https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/2c.-Configuration%3AView
https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/2c2.-View:weekly,-monthly

hide the module logo at the center of the screen

You might have set the position of module itself. MMM-CalendarExt2 doesn’t need position for module itself. remove it from your configuration.

{
  module: 'MMM-CalendarExt2',
  // here you don't need to describe position of module itself.
  config: {

@gregp
I’ve updated. Now you can transform the event properties as your wish.

// In your targeted view configuration, add this.

transform: (event)=>{
  if (event.title.search("Birthday") > -1) { // If the event might include "Birthday" in its title,
    event.icon = "fxemoji-birthdaycake" // Set icon of that event to "fxemoji-birthdaycake"
  }
  return event // Return that event.
}

[gregp]

@sean Wow! Fantastic! Will give it a whirl.

[dmd]

@sean “show let’s say 10 markings per week”
What I meant was that there were two items missing on week 6. Therefore the “+2” like in the screenshot. Fixed it with:

hideOverflow: true

“You might have set the position of module itself. MMM-CalendarExt2 doesn’t need position for module itself. remove it from your configuration.”
Ah, of course. Set position under “views” and now it’s working as desired. Thank you!

Great job!

I was almost done with MMM-CalendarExt then you make it better, now my question is “is there a way to update it to MMM-CalendarExt2”?

Thanks.

[A Former User]

@code999
Not upgradable. Both are similar but different from structure to css rules.

[code999]

alright thanks

First of all, thanks for this module, so far it’s filled all my needs of a calendar. One thing I’m struggling with though is that it seems to redraw itself every minute? And since I’m running MM on a raspberry pi zero the drawing takes something like 3 seconds, which makes it a little irritating. Is there anyway to control the re-drawing? I’ve tried setting the scanInterval, but that doesn’t have any effect.

I also get some CALEXT2_CALENDAR_MODIFIED notifications at fairly regular intervals, even when my calendar hasn’t been changed, but they don’t seem correlated to the redrawing. I’m only using google calendars, if that’s of any help.

Thanks again, awesome module!

rotateInterval(When you are using multi-scenes) or updateInterval would be an answer.

[fnudd]

@Sean Look at that, I missed that. So many options:-) Thanks alot, and again, great work!

Hey, so I’ve been using CalendarExt2 for a while for the ‘Current’ calendar feature, but I’m having to move the calendar I use over to private, I have an account with full authorization to view the calendar but when I add

	auth: {
		user: "blahblahblah@gmail.com",		
		pass: "password",
		method: 'basic'
		}

to my calendar config, it stops working and kind of causes my whole MagicMirror to crash after a while. The logs show everything loading as normal.

My full config is

		{
	module: "MMM-CalendarExt2",
	config: {
	calendars : [
		{
		name: "Current",
		scanInterval: 120000,
		maxItems: 4,
		url: "",
		auth: {
				user: "",
				pass: "",
				method: "basic",
			},
		},
	],
	views: [
		{
		name: "Current",
		mode: "current",
		position: "bottom_center",
		calendars: [],
		slotTitle: "Current Event",
		},
 ],
 scenes: [
		{
		name: "DEFAULT",
		views: [],
		},
		],
	},
},

I do use this with another calendar module, that one works fine with the authentication though.

Thank you for the great module otherwise!

Can you send your ics url and account information? I need those info to examine.
If you don’t care, send me by email. (eouia0819@gmail.com)

Hello, I’m having several issues. Im new to coding for the most part. I took a couple basic web design classes about 12 years ago.
I was working on my magic mirror for about 12 hours yesterday. The major issue being my events are not loading from my Google calendar. I used it in the standard upcoming holidays module to make sure I was linking it correctly. They show up there, but not in the calenderext2. The other issue is sizing. Its larger than the screen viewing area. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong. I copied the example that was posted in the file and it changes the css look but not the size and events still dont show up. Any help would be appreciated.

[Subintro]

@Sean
Damn, I appreciate you trying to take a look but I technically cant due to HIPAA compliance.

Have you heard of anyone having any issues with the auth before?
