MMM-CalendarExt2

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.

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

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

I actually got it working. I needed to do

npm install request

It started working after that. I’m working on setting up another Pi and I’m going to see if I can get CalendarExt3 working in a way that works for what I want it to do. I saw @sdetweil had an CalendarExt3Agenda module that might help. I think I just need to figure out the Views and paging between to move forward to CalendarExt3.

@gonzonia
I think your transfer would be possible (even though not perfectly)

• Daily/Upcoming/Current view => MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda would be an alternative.

• Multiple views => You can just put the module multiple times in the config.js. No need to duplicate the module and rename it. You can put many times this CX3 module anywhere where you want. (CX3A Also be the same.)

• Paging => So you can just put this month CX3 instance in page1 and +1 month CX3 instance in page2 under your favorite paging module. (PR: I also have my own paging modules. MMM-Scenes is that. If you have interests just check it.)

• Or you can glance other periods (e.g. +3 weeks, -1 months) with notification.

@gonzonia all calendarext? modules belong to @MMRIZE

@sdetweil Thanks

@MMRIZE MMM-Scenes is probably closer to what I’m looking for.
Currently I have 3 views in CalendarExt2.

1. Family Calendar (this includes multiple calendars for the whole family)
2. Kid 1 Calendar (this is multiple calendars for Kid 1 like school events, homework, and scheduled appointments)
3. Kid 2 Calendar (this is multiple calendars for Kid 1 like school events, homework, and scheduled appointments)

In addition along with each view I show a Daily Agenda for each kid which when it’s not summer shows their schedule for the day. (their school schedule isn’t the same each day)

I use MMM-Buttons to be able to cycle through the pages/views on demand (it also cycles on a time delay as well, but sometimes you need to get to one of them immediately).

How do I limit the space between days and make the font bigger? When I make the font larger, I can’t figure out how the make the boxes larger also.

This is my config file

views: [
{
mode: “daily”,
maxitems: “7”,
name: “VIEW1”,
timeFormat:“h:mm A”,
slotCount: 7,
calendars: [],
type: “row”,
position: “bottom_bar”,

  },
],
scenes: [
  {
    name: "DEFAULT",
  },
],

},
},

However, not only font-size matters whole looks. You may need to override many CSS fields of MMM-CalendarExt2.css in your css/custom.css.
