@sdetweil Yikes, ok, I’ll figure out what all that means.

I’ve only been running it in server mode, since I haven’t been able to resolve the Display error to make it run as it’s own instance. I’ll try and resolve that and do these steps.

AS YOU WERE. For some unknown reason, the calendar just popped up

@sdetweil I’ve been through those posts about the display error, but i will go back and try to troubleshoot again.

However, the calendar did just pop up, so now I can go tinker with the look and set up my interface. Thanks for your help.

note that on node 16 the format of the correction has changed from prior posts

@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

Works great now! Thanks for your help

@sdetweil One last question; would you know why CalendarExt2 doesn’t show up on the remote module? Not that I’d ever turn it off, just curious.

[sdetweil]

@ccr41981 on the remote?

[ccr41981]

@sdetweil MMM-Remote-Control, that allows you to display or hide modules?

[sdetweil]

@ccr41981 sorry, no idea

[ccr41981]

@sdetweil Ok, thanks. Just curious.

[BKeyport]

@ccr41981 it’s likely because how CX2 generates it’s positions. In short, it’s working AROUND the built in position system and kinda builds it own.

Hello,
I am having difficulties understanding how the deduplicateEventsOn works. I can get the configuration to make duplicated events not show; but how do I combine the entries under calendarName so the events show up “Bob/Jane/Sue/John” ? Or just “Everyone” ??

This is what I have that removes the duplication. Its at the very top of the module. Does it need to be somewhere else?

		{module: 'MMM-CalendarExt2',
			config: {
					rotateInterval: 45*1000,
					deduplicateEventsOn:["startDate","endDate","duration","title","location"],
					calendars: [

How to get quicker update of the google calendar in Magic mirror?

[sdetweil]

@fedale u can change the updateInterval… but note that too fast might get you denied for a while…

[fedale]

@sdetweil I tried that earlier without any result. And seemed like the only thing updating was the screen flickering

I put it under the module config in the config.js was that the correct postion?
