@MMRIZE
I took it down to what you said and the journal displayed, but not as I expected and that may be the root of the problem. It looks like the individual calendars load up properly, but the height of each hour is too much. As a starting point, I had the calendar starting at 0700 and going for 12 hours, but (provided I uploaded the image properly), it cuts off just before 1100. I could probably experiment with the config or css file, but you would probably know right off the top of your head.

@MMRIZE I got Buttons working, so just need to focus on CX3J. Let me take it down to just the basics like you say and I will see what shakes out. Thanks.

@sdetweil I tried using ViewNotifications before while I was troubleshooting MMM-Buttons, but could not get anything to show up. I can try it again, but what notifications would be sent regarding CX3Journal not showing up?

I know this has been dormant a while, but I had to fix the issue with my buttons not working with Carousel. I pulled up the front-end log, but not sure what to look for. I did not see any blaring errors associated with the Journal. Most of my errors were with Key Bindings which I don’t think I am really using at all, so may remove it. Is there something in particular that should stand out to me?

I’ve been using this module for several months and love it. Now, after adding buttons that work with MMM-Carousel2 in slide mode, I would like to add a new instance of the calendar displaying the next month. I know that I need to add another instance in the config.js file, and change the instanceID of the new calendar to a different name and change the monthIndex to 1 so it will show the next month vice the current month. My question, is how do I call the different instance using carousel? Right now, I have “CURR_MONTH” on the first slide by simply calling “MMM-CalendarExt3” in the list for slide one. When I add the second instance (“NEXT_MONTH”) in the config file, how do I specify which instance to use on each slide?

It is not showing anything at all. No events, no empty calendar. . . completely blank. That’s what’s really confusing since the CalendarExt3 module I have is working just fine. I just want to be able to use Journal to show the current week in more detail. I will try to send you the front-end log tomorrow.

I am unable to get the Journal module to work at all. I am running CalendarExt3 fine now with all my calendars feeding in properly, but the Journal shows nothing. I’ve gone through the tutorial for the submodule update, but that did not help. I’m running the “normal” configuration as follows:

 module: "MMM-CalendarExt3Journal",
  position: "bottom_bar",
  config: {
    height: '50vh',
    width: '100%',
    staticWeek: true,
    staticTime: true,
    hourLength: 14,
    beginHour:  6,
    calendarSet: [],
  }

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

So I figured out what the problem was, and it was much simpler than I suspected. For some reason, in my default calendar module, I used
module: 'calendar' instead of module: "calendar" in the config file. When I ran npm run config:check, it made me change many of my quotation marks to “correct” the syntax. When I went through and changed everything to the double quotes, the color coding passed through to CalendarExt3 just as expected/designed. Now, I think I can go through and tweak the single day events as MMRIZE was suggesting to match my background pictures so they stand out appropriately for my set up. Thank you for all the guidance.

@sdetweil How do I do that? As I’m reading the posts from you and MMRIZE, I feel like the code is right in my default calendar and in the css file for CalendarExt3, but maybe the color property is not being broadcast, so I would like to check that.

@MMRIZE I’m not concerned about the keyword transformation custom color going through. What I am really trying to figure out is why the original colors that I assign (#385723 for ‘holidays’, and #7030A0 for ‘Family’) are not showing up on the CalendarExt3 Module. The symbols are passing properly, even the keyword transform for “birthday-cake”, but none of the colors are passing.
