Hi again,

I read I did not have to do anything to get the weather displayed, however I still don’t see it. Any idea why?

@luisestrada
By your configuration;

• It will be refreshed every refreshInterval by force. You’ve set up 10 minutes.
• It will be refreshed after 10 seconds(waitFetch) of the last calendar parsed. a more frequent parsing of your calendar would be a more frequent updating view. If your 5 calendars finish their parsing in 10 seconds together, the view will be updated once. Meanwhile parsing your 5 calendars would take dozen seconds sequentially, the view will be flickering. In that case, set waitFetch longer.

Anyway, I’ll release more improved version for frequent CALENDAR_EVENTS in a few days. Plz wait a little.

Thank you @MMRIZE , I took your recommendations.

My code with the changes based on your feedback (and it seems to be working for now) Thank you!

I talked too fast, I pressed submit and the issue came back :anxious_face_with_sweat:

Now these 3 calendars seem not to be conflicting with CX3

				calendars: [
					{
                        url: "CAL2"
                    },
				],
				maximumEntries: "2",
                wrapEvents: true
			}
		},
{
			module: "calendar2",
			header: "CAL3",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
                        url: "CAL3"
                    },
				],
				maximumEntries: "3",
                wrapEvents: true
			}
		},
{
			module: "calendar2",
			header: "CAL",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
                        url: "CAL"
                    },
				],
				maximumEntries: "5",
                wrapEvents: true
			}
		},

Sorry for the long message

@sdetweil said in MMM-CalendarExt3:

@luisestrada the info inside(event broadcast) is still the same
and u didn’t need to do the rename. it supports multiple instances

All calendar were working under the same name, however i thought it was the cause of the blank CX3 so that’s why i tried to create one version for each module as a last resort

@MMRIZE said in MMM-CalendarExt3:

@luisestrada
Well, I was worried about just that case when I developed this module - multiple calendar instances. I thought Nobody would use the calendar module like that. So I haven’t considered supporting that case. But I was wrong.

The current behaviour of this module is replacing whole events when the notification arrives, not combining each. So you cannot get proper whole events from multi-emitter of notifications.

I’ll modify the module in a few days to stack each event not replace it. Wait for a little.

Thank you, I will show you my code so you all can understand the mess I did :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

By the way, your configuration is not quite effective. Some options are located in the wrong place, some are invalid.

• All module-specific user configuration should be placed in config: { ... }. Your waitFecth or eventTimeOptions and something more would not be applied.

• there is no fetchInterval or rotateInterval option in CX3.

• broadcastPastEvents is not for CX3 module but for calendar module.

• refreshInterval: 1000 * 60 * 1 means redraw calendar every 1 minute. Is it really needed?

It was supposed to be ten minutes but because I was trying and adding and testing, I forgot to change it back

@sdetweil said in MMM-CalendarExt3:

@luisestrada each sends out its own list of entries. maybe calext3 is replacing a with b with c

That’s exactly what i thought, so thats why I created 3 different modules by copying the entire module in a separate folder and renaming it, similar to this: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/14724/run-two-instances-of-the-same-module-sometimes-tutorial

but still, if I have 3 modules called, calendar, calendar1 and calendar2, it does it

@sdetweil said in MMM-CalendarExt3:

@luisestrada do you have 3 instances of
module:‘calendar’
?

Yes, I have 3 modules, the holidays (shows 3), the birthday calendar (shows 2) and the normal calendar (shows 8).

@almightyyoshi Every time i think this is fixed then it comes back again…

I have 3 calendars so I renamed calendar1 and calendar2, as I don’t want these calendars to conflict with CX3.
Then I have my calendar module and dropped the position as I don’t want to show it.
My CX3 loads empty and after a while the information appears, then it goes and then it comes back. I think I have not set up properly the refresh. I’ve tried many combinations but nothing works

{
module: “MMM-CalendarExt3”,
position: “bottom_bar”,
title: “Calendario”,
waitFetch: 10000, // (ms) waiting the fetching of last calendar to prevent flickering view by too frequent fetching.
refreshInterval: 1000 * 60 * 1, // (ms) refresh view by force if you need it.
glanceTime: 1000 * 60 * 1, // (ms) Return to original view when you move to other moment by notification.
//animationSpeed: 2000, // (ms) Refreshing the view smoothly.
rotateInterval: 0,
eventTimeOptions: {
timeStyle: “short”
},
fetchInterval: 1000,
config: {
mode: “week”,
instanceId: “WeeklyCalendar”,
locale: ‘es-CO’,
maxEventLines: 3,
firstDayOfWeek: 0,
weekIndex: 0,
weeksInView: 4,
broadcastPastEvents: true, // <= IMPORTANT to see past events
calendarSet: [‘Cal1’, ‘Cal2’, ‘Cal3’, 'Cal4, ‘Cal5’],
}
},

And Go Jays Go!! :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Hello @Kiina,

Is there a way to limit the number of characters in the episode’s name? In some cases they are quite long
