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",
  					},
					],

				calendars: [
				    {
				    name: "Family Calendar",
				    url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical",
				    scanInterval: 2000,
				    className: "family_calendar",

			},
	},

@Fr8Trayne
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.

[Fr8Trayne]

@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.

Could you share with me your real ical url or file to inspect? you can send it via email. (eouia0819@gmail.com)

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.

@Sean Just emailed it. from sabard@gmail.com

@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.)

[rookiepilot]

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 😞

[code999]

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.

[code999]

@code999 I guess no one knows how to do this? Everything I try it does not change what I want.

[A Former User]

@code999
Too ambiguous. What you tried and what you expected as a result? It would be nice to understand with an image about where is an issue and how to change it.
You can customize CSS to adjust the size of almost every element, and you can adjust some height-related values on the configuration. And, there be some brief information about the HTML structure and CSS selectors on docs. e.g) https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt2/wiki/4.-Styling
So, what is your issue?

[code999]

@Sean sorry about me not able to explain what I am trying to do. this is how it looks now. I want to move it to the right and shrink it so it does not overlap the other modules.
Thanks for your help.

@code999
try position top_right instead of full_screen and see how that looks, you can then have a dig around the files and see if you can alter the size by specifying the size % or pixels

[mrdenmark]

@Sean ,
can this module work with mmm-keybindings?i’d like to use the spacebar or similar to cycle through scenes

[A Former User]

@code999
Which position did you set for the view? put the view in a proper position, then, add this into your css/custom.css

.CX2 {
  width: 800px;
}

Or any size you want.

If your module can emit customized notifications(e.g: CALEXT2_SCENE_NEXT or somethings), possible.
Or you can use MMM-NotificationTrigger to translate or relay original notification to specific customized target notification.

Hi! I’m trying to modify css. I created css/custom.css in MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt2/ and tried doing modifications but none of them seem to do anything. Permissions for dir and file are 777.
Is there something I’m not understanding here?

for example I tried this in custom.css but it doesn’t work. This only works in MMM-CalendarExt.css file.

.CX2 .weekSlot.seq_0 .cellSlot .slotSubTitle {
  position:relative;
  top:-30px;
  left:40%;
}

Also, how can I get month calendar to only show 4 weeks instead of 5?

[A Former User]

@jani-karna
You don’t need to create your own css/custom.css under module directory. That file locates under your MagicMirror directory. css/custom.css is a global common file to be used by all the modules.
