Running the upgrade script to install v2.25.0 and I get the following result. The last time I hit a roadblock I screwed things up enough that I did a fresh install. What are the proper steps to correct this?

Oh, I’m realized I’m not actually using https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Buttons to fix the install issues

@MMRIZE Sorry for the delay I missed your response.

I’m using https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Buttons but happy to switch if there’s something better.

I’m using it to switch scenes in MMM-Scenes by sending “SCENES_NEXT” or “SCENES_PREV”

I have two instances of MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda showing with different calendar sets.

For one set it shows data for 4 days, with all days populated.

For the other one, it shows 4 days but the last day isn’t populated. If I increase the endDayIndex by 1 it will add a 5th day and day 4 will be populated but the 5th day will not, so I know the data is there.

Any ideas what would cause this?
Working instance 1:

{
			module: "MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda",
			position: "top_right",
			classes: "SceneFamily",
			header: "Upcoming Family Calendar",
			config: {
				instanceId: "FamilyAgenda",
				locale: 'en-US',
				firstDayOfWeek: 1,
				startDayIndex: 0,
				endDayIndex: 3,
				showMiniMonthCalendar: false, 
				useSymbol: true,
				calendarSet: ['Dad', 'Mom', 'Kid1', 'Kid2', 'Work1', 'Work22, 'Home'],
			}
		}

Missing Data Instance 2

		{
			module: "MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda",
			position: "top_left",
			classes: "SceneFamily SceneKids",
			header: "Chores",
			config: {
				instanceId: "Chores",
				locale: 'en-US',
				firstDayOfWeek: 1,
				startDayIndex: 0,
				endDayIndex: 3,
				showMiniMonthCalendar: false, 
				useSymbol: true,
				calendarSet: ['Dad Chores', 'Kid Chores', 'Mom Chores'],
			}
		},

I’ve had this problem for a while and I’m not sure how to fix it.
I’m using MMM-Buttons to switch between scenes from MMM-Scenes and it’s working. However, it only works if I first use a little python test program I have to test the buttons. Why? I don’t even have to actually press a button, just run the python and then exit. After that, the buttons work.

I thought I posted this before but can’t find it. I apologize if this is a duplicate.

Python:

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

GPIO.setup(25, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)
GPIO.setup(24, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)


while True:
    input_state25 = GPIO.input(25)
    input_state24 = GPIO.input(24)
    if input_state25 == False:
        print('Button Pressed 25')
        time.sleep(0.2)
    if input_state24 == False:
        print('Button Pressed 24')
        time.sleep(0.2)

@MMRIZE Thank you! That’s just what I wanted!

@MMRIZE Ha! I swear I’d tried that! When I did it would just show it as a numeric month and add the year.

Working now though. Thanks

Thanks for all the help!
Ideally I was hoping for weekly view but where the first day is the current day, so that on Friday I can still see what’s coming up in the next week.

I understand that CX3A shows this information but it’s not in the same format and I prefer the look of the weekly format with CX3

@MMRIZE said in MMM-CalendarExt3:

Weird. cellDateOptions: {day:‘numeric’} should show only the number of the day. What is your locale? or check the typo.

Locale is en-US.

I’m in weekly view.

It’s only on the first of the week and the current day. I’ve worked around it in CSS but I wouldn’t have expected it to show using

cellDateOptions: {day:'numeric'}

This image is without any custom CSS applied

This is the config.

{
		  module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
		  position: "lower_third",
		  classes: "SceneFamily",
		  header: 'Family Week',
		  config: {
			mode: "week",
			instanceId: "FamilyCalendar",
			weekIndex: 0,
			firstDayOfWeek: 0,
			weeksInView: 1,
			locale: 'en-US',
			maxEventLines: 5,
			firstDayOfWeek: 1,
			calendarSet: ['us_holiday', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5'],
			useWeather: false,
			displayWeatherTemp: false,
			useSymbol: true,
			fontSize: "16px",
			displayEndTime:true,
			
			
		  }
		},

Working on moving from CX2 to CX3.

A few things I’m being challenged by. Some might be limitations but figured I’d ask

1. In CX2 there were more icon sets available. Is CX3 limited to Font Awesome because the default calendar is?

2. Can CX3 in weekly view start from the current day vs. beginning of the week?

3. I can see there’s a module-header. How can I make the CX3 title from the config show there?

Possible CSS Questions
4) I’m having trouble getting the Day header to show only numeric for the whole week. It shows Month Day (Jul 3) in the first two days and then numeric for the rest. (I tried cellDateOptions: “{day: ‘numeric’}” in the config for the module and it shows “7/3/2023” and “7/4/2023” in the first two days. This is what I had to do to hide it with CSS.

.CX3 .week:nth-child(2) .cell:first-child .cellDate *
{
       display: none;
}

.CX3 .week:nth-child(2) .cell:first-child .cellDate .day
{
       display: inline-block;
}
   
.CX3 .today .cellDate :not(.day)
{
   display: none;
}

5. I had CX2 showing like this with the title on one line and the time on the next. Can that be done?
   
6. How to remove colored dot signifying calendar? I like a border instead?

@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).
