@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”.

@Thekk
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.

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…
