hey, @Sean Did you happen to miss this?

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!

@BKeyport
Sorry for the late answer. I was hospitalized due to my broken ankle, so I couldn’t inspect.
The issue looks like invalid format of ics. Unfortunately, iCAL format is not so strict (despite of standard rule, RFC-5545, RFC-5546 and so many standards), some iCAL could have ambiguous formats. Well, my parser cannot understand yours. At this moment, I have no time to fix it. (Or, … I’m not sure it should be fixed.) Sorry.

@Sean oh, damn man. Hope the ankle heals quickly and cleanly. What did you do?

Glad to know what’s going on with the code, noting it’s the gov not knowing how to format the iCal (Not a surprise, actually). It would be wonderful if it could be understood and fixed, give your module some more flexibility to handle screwed up ical.

Again, get well soon!

Hi Guys,

My MMM-CalendarExt2 is very small. How can I enlarge the font with the appointments?
can i do this in the custom.css?
What is the code?

@Sean Thanks for the reply and sorry to hear about your ankle! No rush on this if busy.

I Updated to static, still not populating. Any other ideas?

Hi Guys,

Noob on MM but loving it. Got the calendar configured almost to my liking but am running into couple issues if anyone can please assist?

Upcoming views - how can I use the event time properly. using the h:mm A for timeFormat in that view only displays 11 - 12:30PM and not 11AM - 12:30 PM. What format would I use as I can’t seem to get it.
Upcoming view - how can I only display events for Today (current date) and not next scheduled. Also, if there are no events, I like the message to say “No more meetings today”. Currently the maxDays = 1 does only show events for a day but if I have no events left today, it will show events for tomorrow.
While I will use the #2 for current day’s event, in the daily view on the same screen below in row format, how can I remove current day/today from that since I already see that in my upcoming view above.
In the same daily/row view, if there are no events, i like the message to be “No meetings today”.

Thank you kindly
J.

Weird. if you are using timeFormat: "h:mm A", it will show 11:00 AM not 11 or 11AM.
https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/Event-Time
In that case, just use daily view with filterPassedEvent: true
https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/2c.-Configuration:View
use fromNow to skip days.
https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/2c.-Configuration:View
like this?

add this into your css/custom.css

.CX2 .view.upcoming .eventCount_0 .slotFooter::after {
  content: "There is no event."
}

I seem to be having an issue with the month view and hope someone here might have a solution.

Currently I have 7 calendars setup and am using daily view in the top left with month view in the fullscreen_below section.

The daily view displays all events just fine when setting the slotCount to 2 or even 10 (although I cant figure out how to not overlap the month view) and it correctly displays all calendar events from all 7 calendars. All the calendars are from gmail and pulled from each gmail account using the link under “secret address in iCal format”. I have omitted that part in the code I shared below.

The month view is only displaying a few events for the entire month, Dec 29 through Jan 7 is populated and it doesn’t have all the events listed for January 7th, the rest of the days in the month are completely empty. Last month (December) was displaying all events just fine. Is there something I am missing?

I have recently update MM and MMM-CalendarExt2. The updates showed that they were completed successfully.

	rotateInterval: 5 * 60 * 1000,

@vulkandosii set maxItems of month view to a bigger value. Current Default is 100. See the log and find enough value for that view.
The reason is, you might have tons (at least over 100) of events in your ical files. Unless you filter or sort events(In other views, those are somehow filtered already), the first 100 items will be loaded for month view. And probably those events would be too old to display. Because you might have many repeated events before this month, so 100 would be consumed already for old events.
