I don’t suppose there’s a dummies guide to make this work?
-
@ccr41981 this is one of the most complex modules. and the author does not support it anymore.
so it’s community help

@gekberlin
RelativeTime would be auto-scaled by remain period to target time from now on. So “tomorrow” is displayed as “in X hours” because after X hours the tomorrow will begin. “In 10 days” means exactly “in 10days and a few hours”
So it is not so desirable to display exact time, especially fullday events.
Use dateFormat or dateTimeFormat. See the localization part also.RelativeTime itself is more useful when you use it to display near events in 24 hours.

@sdetweil understood, I got that from the thread. Was just hoping there was some other documentation than the main GitHub page. I don’t want to ask a bunch of annoying questions, but I could use some help.
-
@ccr41981 no other doc. so ask away and maybe someone can help.
-
@sdetweil Very well. So, how does one set this up? I installed the module, but it doesn’t show up at all. I’ve put in my ics links in the calendar spots, but nothing. I’ve gleaned that there is something to be done with custom css, but I haven’t been able to figure it out. Can someone break down what needs to be done just get a visual going?
-
@ccr41981 you’ve read the config doc?
https://github.com/MMM-CalendarExt2/MMM-CalendarExt2/blob/master/docs/Configuration.md
use the example, and your url .
also, this module suffers from a missing library ( that was removed from the base a couple releases back )
in the module folder (MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt2) do
npm install request --save -
@sdetweil I DID use that example, but I did not know about the missing library. I will run that and let you know.
Thank you for taking the time.

Ugh, still nothing.
Out of curiosity, are there any resolution constraints? Or are there any problems with running this on something other than a raspberry pi? I am running MagicMirror2 on my Windows 10 machine, just to play around with the settings while I wait on my pi.

@ccr41981 no idea
2 things
1 look for messages where you start MM
npm start2, open the developers window, mm screen, ctrl-shift-i, select the tab labeled ‘console’ and then put a unique part of the module name in the filter field (ext for example)
