MMM-CalendarExt2

Fr8Trayne

I’ve removed the actual links to calendars solely for this . Please note that it has been working up until 2 days ago. I love this module just not sure this stopped working. Also note I have a second version of this one a weekly view that still is working just fine.
{
module: “MMM-CalendarExt2”,
pages: {second: “fullscreen_above”},
defaultset: {
view: {
slotCount: 5,
},
},

		config: {

				scenes: [
  					{
    				name: "Month Calendar",
				views: ["family"],
				className: "scene_1",
  					},
					],
			
				views: [
  					{
				    name: "family",
    				    mode: "week",
				    fromNow:0,
				    className: "view_1",
				    calendars: [],
				    slotTitleFormat:"MM/DD",
				    slotSubTitleFormat: "dddd",
				    beforeDays: "7",
				    hideOverflow: false,
				    type: "row",
  					},
					],

I think this could be also maxItems issue of view.
You have several calendars in a view, it means you might have tons of events in the memory of RPI.(You can check how much events are selected to load on your log.)
Which events should be displayed would be decided by some rules with some condition - filter, sort, … In this case, you haven’t set your rule, so the view would contain 100 events(set as default, sorted by time) from whole calendars. And most(or all) of them would be too old events to display in this view.

Just set the maxItems of view bigger, or set your rule of filter or sort events to display.

@Sean thanks. I have added those changes with no effect. Would you mind guiding me to find those stores events in the RPI? I’d like to see if that is the issue.

Can someone show me what I am doing wrong. I have this configuration:

	{
		module: 'MMM-CalendarExt2',
		config: {
			//firstDrawingDelay: 1000*10,
			scenes:[
				{
					name: "DEFAULT",
					views: ["VIEW1"],
				},
				],
			views:[
				{
					name: "VIEW1",
					mode: "daily",
					title: "Bard Family Schedule",
					position: "bottom_right",
					maxItems: 100,
					maxDays: 5,
					locale: "en",
					hideOverflow: true,
					filterPassedEvent: true,
					slotCount: 4,
					calendars: ["Steve","Tracie","Alex"],
				},
				],
			calendars: [
			    
				{
					name: "Steve",
					url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/",
					beforeDays:0,
					afterDays: 5,
				},
				
				{
					name: "Tracie",
					url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/",
					beforeDays:0,
					afterDays: 5,
				},
				{
					name: "Alex",
					url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/",
					beforeDays:0,
					afterDays: 5,
				},
				
				
				
				],
			},
	},

The actual calendars have the correct url in my setup. If I set one calendar to show in the view ie. [“Alex”] it works but if I try to do all of them I get nothing. Only the headings for the days.

Here is the startup sequence:

Can you see anything I am doing wrong?

Could you share with me your real ical(.ics) file or URL? By only inspection of real ical, I can tell what’s wrong.

@wegz15 Hey!! your layout is the exact one I have been trying to do for many hours over the last months. May you please paste the code you used to make it looks like that? thx ( the doc’s are confusing and do not show where the part of the codes go to make it work. i liked the first Ext docs better.)

Did anybody else’s MMM-CalendarExt2 module break after daylight savings? (Sunday November 3rd). Both my “MMM-MyCalendar” AND “MMM-CalendarExt2” modules are showing events on the wrong days now. The problem seems to only occur with reoccurring events; they usually show up one day earlier. Rebooting does not correct the issue. I hope someone can figure this out soon 😞

Hi All,

So I have been trying to figure out how to make the calendar smaller. It is over lapping other modules. I have read the docs but I am unclear on how it all comes together to work. Please help.
