@Turtle
I don’t know why, but some nowadays version of MagicMirror has been missing css/custom.css. Just create empty text file and name it as custom.css then save it to your css directory.

@Sean - I thought I could do that but wanted to make sure but before I did that though I was able to find another css file called “MMM-CalendarExt2” in another folder and made some changes to that file which seems to be working. Of course, I made a backup of it just in case but for some reason, that file is acting like custom.css.

Custom.css is the only file that doesn’t get over written when you update MM or Calendar-Ext2. That is why it exists. If you modify main.css then a MM update will wipe out the changes. Same thing is true of CalendarExt2.css.

To agree @cskenney
When I update MMM-CalendarExt2.css on next version, your change will be lost. Use css/custom.css.

because we removed it from the git repo, to avoid over-writing it on updates… can’t have it both ways…

@sdetweil
In that case, .gitIgnore couldn’t help?

sdetweil

@Sean they decided to remove it…

BKeyport

@sdetweil so custom.css.sample like the config?

sdetweil

@BKeyport its an empty file… I can add it with the installer… if not present then touch to create the file…

BKeyport

true, forgot it started out empty. Back to MMM-CalendarExt2 here, I guess.

Turtle

all I know is that I’m glad to hear I’m not going crazy for not seeing the custom.css. lol

So, all day yesterday, I had everything working with just one calendar and the MM working find. Today, I tried adding three other calendar to the code and now I’m getting a screen that’s telling me the “Must create a config file”. I must have done some syntax wrong that I’m just not seeing. Anyone show me what I’m doing wrong? I removed my url links. Here is my whole config file code…

@Turtle after each name: line needs to end with a comma ,

@sdetweil - after putting the post up there, I saw that and added them. Also, added quotes around module name “MMM-CalendarExt2”.

But I’m still getting the same message.

Turtle

@sdetweil - wait a minute…do you mean after the name as in “Turtle’s Calendar”? I have them after each of the URL.

Turtle

@sdetweil - thank you again…I got it up and working. Just got to do some tweaking!

sdetweil

@Turtle yes.

One thing to think about, as u encounter errors, is … What did I do last?

BKeyport

@sdetweil and “config check is cool” 😏

sdetweil

@BKeyport once u know how to read it!

Turtle

I’m confusing myself with all these examples I’m looking out from the main documentation to other people’s examples. When MM starts, I get the monthly calendar the entire screen but with none of my information from any of the four calendars that I have. Also, I do get the “Upcoming” view in the top_left hand corner with only my information from “Turtle’s Calendar” but not the other calendar. Here is my code…

config: {
    				calendars : [
      					{
					name: "Turtle's Calendar",        					
					url: "",
      					},
					{
					name: "Work Calendar",
					url: "",
					},
					{
					name: "Bill Calendar",
					url: "",
					},
					{
					name: "Payday Calendar",
					url: "",
					},
    					],
    				views: [
      					{
						name: "MONTHVIEW",        					
						mode: "month",
						position: "bottom_bar",
						calendars: ["Turtle's Calendar", "Work Calendar", "Bill Calendar", "Payday Calendar"],
      					},

					{
						name: "DAILYVIEW",        					
						mode: "upcoming",
						Title: "Upcoming Events",
						slotCount: 10,
						hideOverflow: false,
						filterPassedEvent: true,
						calendars: ["Turtle's Calendar", "Work Calendar", "Bill Calendar", "Payday Calendar"],
      					},
    					],
    				scenes: [
      					{
        					name: "DEFAULT",
						views: ["MONTHVIEW", "DAILYVIEW"],
      					},
					
    				],
  			},
		},

I suspect maxItems of each view, but not confirm the reason without real ical data. send me your ical’s URL to inspect what happens. (eouia0819@gmail.com)
