I have read over the configuration notes for CalendarEXT2 but same problem is occurring on the default Calendar also.
They both say X days until a given event. I want the date and start/stop times for events.
I pulled the link from my Google calendar and it is date and time so don’t really understand where the hang up is. I’ve tried plugging in the formats that are listed on the EXT2 Configuration Settings but nothing works.
Any suggestions are welcome.

I’m using VSCode to make changes to css and js. Make a change, save, move on or undo depending on results.
I noticed this morning something about “Staged Changes” and Commit on Master. I want to 1) make sure that “master” is the local file when I did git clone abcfile.git and not something that is tied back to file I cloned from.
2) What/Why did this show up today since I have been using for a bit now and the number of staged changes is significantly less than the changes I’ve made AND two of the staged changes are for some package-lock.json files I certainly haven’t even looked at.

Only thing I did beteen yesterday & today was to do that update to Pi OS that was flagged in my notifications

@sdetweil Okay. But I have been doing restart mm and the holiday calendar will probably 50% of time not load any of the holidays. Header and no events text will load but even with restart mm I end up doing alt view reload to load holidays themselves.
So 50% of time I end up doing a combo restart—>reload to load calendar events.
Could that be an issue with the sequence of loading each module

@sdetweil So long as one has saved their changes in the given file, those commands will load the new file configuration? What about if you change the js file for a given module?

What causes a module to not reload completely? I notice this primarily with the holiday calendar. Upon the aforementioned restart it will show No Upcoming Events. I’ll hit Reload again and it will populate.

@Mykle1 I want to use whole screen, but I’ve just started thinking about what to put on it. But I’ll give you a quick example. on 24" (pardon if you are metric) diag screen. The default clock is is 4.5" wide.

42" screen, same default clock is 8" wide
My first boneheaded move was to change screen resolution. The underlying Pi OS desktop was so small you needed a magnifying glass to see the little Raspberry icon. My biggest challenge so far is dealing with the region sizes.

Things like that iFrame that has the radar image on it, the iFrame is configured to maintain a standard W x H ratio for a typical monitor and I wrestled with padding on the ticker up top, padding in general to get it centered and not crowd out other modules but also be readable from across the room.

I’ve made abundant use of the developer tool but some stuff still eludes me.
The daily weather line graph below it may look okay to a casual observer but I can NOT get it to widen out to the right no matter how many things I have tried. But per @sdetweil that is due to it incorporating chartjs in the module. I can tell you PM2 RESTART MM is seared in to my brain.

Tweaking the region sizes, and how they are placed is something I don’t understand yet

I don’t have any plans to make mirrors with these. The one I just posted is in living room, gives me a snapshot of everything I need to know as far as what’s on tap for the day.
I have large screen in bedroom that I use as TV. Will do similar with it. Just have Pi on one HDMI port and cable on another input. That project will require a fair amount of CSS mods as its a big screen and modules are huge on it.

@sdetweil There’s a bunch of Covid stuff out there on github. I figured it would be in 3rd party modules but it wasn’t listed.

No big deal. That weatherchart module has a bunch of what should really be in a CSS page or at top of js page but is just in the code. Was a good learning experience for me though as I wrestled through it .

Is there either a good custom.css page out that tackles a bunch of modules.

I generally understand CSS, what I want to better understand is how you target a particular module and override it’s default CSS as a lot of modules have some default value out of the box.

Version 2. Tossed the YouTube in the iFrame, Replaced with National Weather Service radar page.
Got rid of the module that was past?? cloud/rain. Replaced with WeatherChart module.

Also, looks like CalendarLabs has posted 2021 calendar as it was populated with new dates this morning.

That’s exactly what I need to do but can’t figure out how to get access. Which one of covid modules is it, or do you have link.? Several modules come up on search covid in 3rd party modules.

I have been messing around with the MMM-WeatherChart module and it is using chartjs in some way that I don’t understand. Chartjs seems to be driving the size of the chart in some fashion because I can see some references to it in the developer tool.
But I absolutely can not locate how it is interacting with chartjs beyond these lines. It’s referencing some size attributes but how?

I gave the weather module a try and while I can get it to show the current weather, I can not get it to show the 5 day forecast after numerous changes. The page dedicated to this module says just use the module twice and and that is what I did, in addition to using weathergov as data source.
I looked at the weather.js code and I am not great at reading code but it seems like there is no code to adjust in config.js

For example there is a line
timeFormat: config.timeFormat in weather.js
Then this in config.js timeFormat: 12,

The wiki?? page tells about the different options such as current, forecast, and daily as configuration items but again, I can’t find a corresponding lines in weather.js to result in image on page.

As an aside to that, it looks like when placed in middle_center it is thinking it is in one of the X_third configurations as it draws a line full screen width under the location text. top_center and bottom_center draw the line correctly under location text.

This refers to upper or lower case am/pm? I checked CSS case and it refers to text-transform.
I’ve seen this in multiple modules and want to make sure.

I keep seeing this fault on the developer Tools console. I am using the Openweathermap free tier and it has a limit on the number of calls that can be made per day.
I sent Openweathermaps a question regarding the fault and their reply was as follows.

"I would recommend you to contact the software developer for details. If the software tries to use the Daily API endpoint, it will not get access, since it is not available for free users.

Any ideas on how to clear this error?
Or best to ignore until the new default weather module is ready for general usage.

Here is screen capture of fault.

I could have phrased that better. It doesn’t say that you need to create the custom.css file from scratch if you use the official manual install.

I don’t know that this is a feature request but when I was looking through developer tools there was a long list of items used by system that are HTTP rather than HTTPS is that something that can be resolved or is it dependent on the folks that are managing those sites to correct that.

Okay.
Instructions were pretty explicit in saying do manual install so thats what I did.
There probably should be an asterisk on manual instructions that say that.
I just went back and looked and says manual install is only official method but doesn’t say that anywhere.

FWIW, I was looking at stuff in Developer Tools and there was a fault showing around custom.css even though it isn’t installed so I assume one of the modules is trying to make a call to it.

Is there supposed to be an empty or commented out custom.css file in the CSS folder along with Main.css?
I’ve read several different things in different modules that seem to say there should be. I’ve done MM install on two Pi’s for different monitors and there is no custom.css file in either.

Is there a template or just create a blank file and save as custom.css?

I’ve loaded a few 3rd party modules and was just curious as to why one of them has --Depth=1 git the initial git clone line. I’ve done plenty of that process with sensors for Pi computers outside of the MM arena and have never seen that before. What is it doing and why is it used.

I don’t understand why but neither the CalendarExt2 or the default calendar will show a Google calendar with JUST holidays. They both accept Google’s http://yadaada.ics
link that Google provides in settings. The default MM calendar spits out a message saying no upcoming events. Ext2 is just a void on screen.
Additionally the Ext2 calendar, when I use my Google calendar (that works in Ext2) it strips out the holidays some kind of way. Neither Christmas or New Years show yet appointments past those two holidays do show.

I need to go read some more on Ext2 calendar.

I just put in the maxnumbeofdays property and set to 30 days. That calenderlabs ical is just static so it doesn’t do anything or so it seems to me.
