@sdetweil I tried the fetchInterval. But have not been sucessfull with that one.

But everytime i save my config file it update at once.

Is there somewhere else than in the config.js file i need to change the fetchInterval?

[sdetweil]

@fedale that is inside the config:{} section of the calendar module, yes,
and NOT in the place where url: is

This works. URL Blanked to prevent private data.

		{
			module: "MMM-CalendarExt2", // https://github.com/MMM-CalendarExt2/MMM-CalendarExt2
			config: {
				calendars : [
					{
						url: "",
						name: "Main", // Optional, Recommended
						maxItems: 1,
						scanInterval: 1000*60*.5, // every 30 seconds, Appt Book, needs this speed
						beforeDays: 0,
						afterDays: 2,
						forceLocalTZ: false,
					},
	...

Today i have it in the first day of the week. Due to a small screen its not showing all the calendar inputs as it takes up a row by itself. limiting the amount of events i could have

Great Module!! I started customizing a CSS file to enhance the display. I was able to do everything I wanted to do except one mod. I’m trying to make the calendar title font larger on each of 2 calendars, but can’t seem to find where this property is set. Looking for help with this.

Thx Norb

@nschertz I don’t know, but you can learn the css settings by using the developers window

@sdetweil Thanks. That redirect was very helpful. Problem solved.

I’ve added a border around today’s date in the month view but I can’t seem to figure out how to adjust the actual events to not overlap the left border. Anyone know how to do this?

@sdetweil okay thanks. I did not know that.

How can I make the calendar show more than two lines of text for each event?

I’ve had start and end times set up, but that would leave room for a few letters and it would look like:
‘08:00-09:30 Ext…’

Then I’ve used this:
.CX2 .weekSlot .event:not(.fullday) .eventMain {
height: auto;
flex-wrap: wrap;
flex-grow: 0;
overflow: visible;
}

and it allowed me to have time in one row, and text in another, however if the text alone is more than what could be fit in a single row, again I get 3 dots instead of having the box adjust to the size of the text.

It would look like this:
‘08:00-09:30
Extended line of t…’

Also, whenever I have two enlarged boxes in the same day, the second one would partially go over the previous one, as if the previous one wasn’t enlarged.

Any ideas how I could solve these two issues?

@justbob I’d switch to CX3agenda, to be honest. Much better.

[MMRIZE]

@justbob
That module doesn’t be designed like that. Of course, a heavy tweak of CSS could be the solution, but not recommended.

First, unpretty.
Second, The purpose of the module is to glance at outlines at once. Multi lines are not so easy to scan. I recommend transforming the title abbreviately or using color/symbol to distinguish the points rapidly.
Third, technically not so easy to align the event cells with different lines(heights) in the same row. To accomplish it, that will inevitably waste space. So I haven’t designed so.

@MMRIZE @BKeyport

I prefer functionality over looks, and CX3agenda doesn’t satisfy my wants and needs.

I want a calendar which shows a month and a half in advance, and which shows all the events in a single calendar. Having those in a list is both harder for me to follow-up on and find the gaps.

I’ve given a thought to CalendarExt3, and while I like the idea behind it (to make it more simple for regular Joe, as Ext2 “is too complicated”), I’ve got a feeling that it has less features and because of it’s simplicity lacks all the customization options that Ext2 has. Am I right?

As for space wasted, I assume you meant that if one day has, lets say 5 events, and other none, there would basically be a lot of space unused (as in, a lot of empty squares being “empty”, but taking the space anyway)? If so, I really don’t care about that, rather, I prefer it that way.

I don’t want to just glance at it, I want it to be as informative as possible, to help me build my future schedules and plan events. Some events simply need explanation, because one word or shorting that one word won’t cut it.

So, with all that said, does anyone knows of a way to make it work as I imagined?

I know this module is inactive as @MMRIZE has moved on to CalendarExt3 but I’m hoping someone can point me where to look.

I hadn’t swapped because I was using some functionality in CalendarExt2 that I’m not sure is available in CalendarExt3. (multiple views, weekly and daily calendars)

With the latest update though my calendars aren’t loading. The module isn’t even appearing on screen despite no errors in the log.

[MMRIZE]

@gonzonia I’ll look inside tomorrow. Today I was in GNR live with my daughter so have no energy anymore. (Love & peace!)

@gonzonia
Can you send me the calendars and your config? (eouia0819@gmail.com)
