MMM-CalendarExt2

Experiencing a new problem. I have MMM-CalendarExt2 configured with two calendars and two views. I have one view that shows upcoming events, top_left, looking out in the next 90 days (we don’t have a lot of events at the moment) and a second view that is monthly fullscreen. Both calendars are listed in both views and have css entries to color code which calendar the event comes from.
When MM first starts up, only the first calendar appears in each view; however, when MMM-CalendarExt2 refreshes, both calendar events appear and are properly color coded. This doesn’t change unless I restart MM and then the process repeats.
Both calendars are defined exactly the same way.
Since the events in the second calendar eventually appear, I’ve ruled out potential errors in the config file.

try to set “firstDrawingDelay” to 1000 or 2000 something, or shorten ‘updateInterval’ or ‘rotateInterval’.
The reason would be; all your events are not loaded or parsed yet on its first drawing cycle, so only some of them will be displayed at that time. Remains will be parsed and displayed on next cycle when prepared. -
@Sean
Thanks for getting back to me so fast.Ok firstDrawingDelay and rotateInterval are both at default values while updateInterval is set to 300000.
I’ll first try setting rotateInterval to 1000 to match firstDrawingDelay to see if that fixes the problem. If that doesn’t work, I’ll experiment until I find something that does. -
@EdO
if you are using only one scene or you don’t mind change of event applied instantly,
you don’t need to keep interval so shortly. I think 1 -2 sec for firstDrawDelay would be enough. -
@Sean - been thinking about changing up my calendar a bit, and was wanting to see if this is possible. I want the majority of my screen to be a monthly calendar (the entire month), but not show individual events on a particular agenda/calendar (“Appointments”), rather show the number of events each day. For other agendas/calendars, I want items to show. Example using a downloaded monthly calendar template (18th, 19th, and 20th is typed in like I want)
Then, I’d like a separate view, using only today’s events. I currently use the “daily” view, but I’d like to restrict it to “Today”.
Is this possible?

@BKeyport
you just want to show only event.of today? use “daily” with “slotCount:1”. -

Thanks. I haven’t thought about that method. Now I updated that part in the module.Excellent! Thanks for integrating the recurring filter.

Hello @Sean,
I just came upon your MMM-CalendarExt2 in the last few days. I think it will do what I need it to do for me. Awesome job! But before I dive in, I like to get myself familiar with it. After reading all the posts in this thread, you keep mentioning about adding “style codes” into the css/custom.css file. By any chance, this been renamed to “main.css”? This is the only css file I have in the “MagicMirror/css/” folder.
-
@Turtle In the CSS folder you should also have a custom.css file (in addition to the main.css file) that was created when you installed MagicMirror.

@cskenney - I do not have a custom.css file. Only have the main.css file. Why I’m so confused right now.
