@sdetweil You sir are correct, that fixed it. I guess I should have read some release notes, haha. Thanks for your help.

Hello all, I’ve got an issue I hope someone can help with. My MagicMirror has been working great for a year or so. I use MMM-Calext3, and have generic holidays and a personal google calendar shown. It has worked without issue.
A few days ago, I was trying to install a module that puts the display to sleep on a schedule and whatnot. In the process, I goofed up my config.js and the mirror would launch but had errors (wrong characters in wrong places type issues). I did not touch any of my calendar entries nore the calendar modules. While troubleshooting why my power/sleep module wasn’t working I saw I was behind on the MM base version, so I updated. I don’t recall updating anything else. I finally just restore the config.js to the working version i copied before I started.
So now, my MM works, CalEXT3 launches, but I’m not getting any events passed from the default calendar. Again, I did not change a single character in the calendar entries, what is below is what was working fine 48 hours ago. Can someone smarter than myself take a look? I did npm start, but is seems to hang up after the System information line. I left it about 10 minutes with no change or additional lines showing up, eventually just had to ctrl-c out of it. I can put the calendar ICS links in a browser and they still work.

let config = {
	address: "localhost",	// Address to listen on, can be:
							// - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
							// - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
							// - "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
							// Default, when address config is left out or empty, is "localhost"
	port: 8080,
	basePath: "/",	// The URL path where MagicMirror² is hosted. If you are using a Reverse proxy
									// you must set the sub path here. basePath must end with a /

To emphasize this month, I added this to the cells of this month.
.CX3 .thisMonth {
  background-color: rgb(255 255 255 / 10%);
}
rgb(RED GREEN BLUE / TRANSPARENCY); could be what you were searching.

Thanks again, this did it.

For today cell border; Append this into your css/custom.css

/* css/custom.css */
.CX3 .cell.today {
  border: 2px solid #fff; /* default was 1px, so you can change to 2px or whatever */
}

For shadow behind the cell... Could you tell me more details or example?

Thank you, I’ll give that a try.

For the shadow, maybe not the right term, in my screenshot see how the previous days have a light but transparent white color to them. I’d like all the cells to be shaded like that, i can play with the colors, ie white vs gray etc. but I’m just not sure how to add the background color to all cells then make it transparent. That make sense? I know my terms are not correct…

bobbylx

Hello all, so I’ve got MMM-Calendarext3 working just how I want and now working on some personalization. Can anyone advise what to change and where to add some shadow behind the date cells? Kind of like the shadow behind the previous days, I’d like to add some light gray or something to the entire calendar just so it doesn’t get lost in my wallpaper.
Second, anyone know how/where to change the border thickness for the current day?

thanks in advance.

                    module: "compliments",
                    position: ""
must be a valid position if specified…

you can disable a module by adding
disabled: true,
after the module: line

you can also comment out the position
// position:“…”

this would be how you use the default calendar with Ext3…
it would work, but not be shown

backup, backup, backup…
see my scripts, backup to private repo on github… restore from there
versionable…
3 tiny files… and any keyfiles/token files…
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

Thanks, just made that change, found a couple more that needed attention. I also checked my history in this thread, I’ve posted my config before asking other questions so I was able to borrow some lines. Getting close now.

CX3* series may not work on MIDORI, sorry. It’s too old browser, doesn’t support advanced modern JavaScript technologies.

I had been using it with Midori until just a few days ago when I decided to reload. It wasn’t fast or always the best, but I’m using a Pi zero W so limited on browsers right now. I’ll be picking up a Pi 3 or 4 soon then I’ll do this all over again.

bobbylx

Had an issue with my monitor so I took that opportunity to reload Pi OS and MM. Unfortunately, I goofed and flashed over my config and css backups. So I’m starting fresh.

That went fine but I cannot figure out why my calendar is not loading. My MM loads in Midori, I get my date/time in the upper left but the rest of the page is blank, no config warnings or empty boxes, just a completely black page. Config check shows no issues. Can someone look at my config.js real quick and see if I’m missing something? I have not touched any other files at this point, I was just trying to get the calendar to load before I start really customizing.

let config = {
        address: "localhost",   // Address to listen on, can be:
                                                        // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface

@hrmax said in MMM-CalendarExt3:

@bobbylx It could be because you aren’t settings the mode to week or month? It seems that the default is week but that would require that you omit the tag altogether rather than explicitly setting it to an empty string.

I have it with no mode and a 5 week rolling view, so the current week is always at the top. I did change it back to month for testing but made no difference.

     return payload

                   eventTransformer: (ev) => {
                    if (ev.title.search('Allie') > -1) ev.color = 'blue'
                    return ev
                   }

You’ve missed comma(,) in the end of weatherPayload definition.

Awesome, thank you! That did it.

Last one, using the Marquee for long calendar events. Is there anything else I need to do to make that work? See my config.js above, I added useMarquee: ‘true’ but it changed nothing. I assume I’m missing something simple again.

Hello all, just have a couple fine tuning questions for you. Both seem easy but I can’t seem to figure out why it’s not working. FWIW my MM has been running great for months now, finally doing some tweaking.

So I’ve got MMM-Calendarext3 setup to only show 1 calendar, it’s my family google account. The last 2 things I would like to accomplish are having the text for long events scroll with useMarquee: true and then also to have the eventTransformer search for a name in the event title and change the color according to that.

For some reason, I can’t get either of these to work. Config.js below. If I understand correctly, I shouldn’t need to add anything to custom.css correct? With the config file below, my calendar does not load at all, just get blank screen stating please create a config file, if I hash out the transformer stuff then it loads but never scrolls (marquee). Any advice from ya’ll smart folks?

@MMRIZE Awesome! Thank you for that. Works just like you said. I did have to put the Weather forecast module below the MMM-Calendarext3 module or else the calendar would not load. Might be something obvious to some but I’m teaching myself as I go.
