Actually I posted this question to the MMM-CalendarExt2 github issues page and a new version was added today to address the problem. He added the ability to display the month and year.

I had this same question and the developer told me that you can add static text via the “title” parameter to the month view but nothing dynamic.

I was able to find a workaround though. In my case all I cared about was the month/year to be displayed above the calendar. Therefore I used the MMM-DateOnly module. In your case I suspect you will have to change the fullscreen_above to something like top_left and then set a width on the MMM-CalendarExt2 itself to make it take up the full screen. Then you can add the default clock (with showDate=false) on the top_left too and add the MMM-DateOnly to the top_right. Might be close to what you want.

I have had this problem too using the calendar module and it seems to be related to node-ical addition that parses the ical files. See link text to that post which has my solution at the bottom.

Re: MMM-CalendarExt2

Is there a way to format the calendar so it looks like the attached image. This is from a dakboard example but is clean and simple. I’ve tried some configuration of the MMM-calendarext2 but not getting anywhere close. Basically looking to get plain white text, equal sized “day” boxes, and a color chip/button to designate what calendar an event is from.

Some pointers would be great.

Are there any calendar modules out there (other than MMM-calendarext and MMM-calendarext2) which display the full month calendar with events from multiple calendars on it? I’ve tried the above 2 listed modules and they seem overly complicated and not exactly what I am looking for. For example, if I were to use dakboard their calendar looks like the one shown below. Is there anything like this for MM or does anyone have a set of configs to make the above modules look like this?

I’ve solved this problem by replacing the node-ical script that the default calendar modules uses with a fork of it.

I did some research and found that the default calendar module uses the node-ical modules to parse calendar data. I notice that it is based off of https://github.com/peterbraden/ical.js. I also found https://github.com/jens-maus/node-ical that is based off of the original peterbraden/ical.js. but seems to have been updated to use the npm package moment-timezone.

I did a drop in replacement and it seems to work:

cd modules/default/calendar/vendor
mv ical.js ical.js.orig
git clone https://github.com/jens-maus/node-ical
mv node-ical/ ical.js
cd ical.js
npm install

Restarted MM and now my timezones are showing up properly. So I made my own modules out of this so it won’t get overwritten by updates.

Just a quick update and I have tested MMM-MyCalendar from jclarke0000 and it does not work either. It shows the same 1 hour discrepency.

I’m using the default MM calendar and having problems with it displaying event timezones properly.

I am displaying a work calendar and for the most part my co-workers are in ET while I am in CT - a 1 hour difference. When they create an event for me MM shows the time in ET as it was created, not in CT where myself and the MM are located.

For example, if someone creates and event that starts at 2pm ET that would be 1pm CT for me. However, when MM refreshes and displays the relative time it is 1 hour off.

Example:
event scheduled for 2pm ET/1pm CT
current time 1:15pm ET/12:15pm CT
MM displays the event starting in 2 hours

Another example:
same event scheduled for 2pm ET/1pm CT
current time 2:05pm ET/1:05pm CT
MM displays the event starting in 55 min

So it appears that MM is reading the timezone the event was created in not the timezone of the pi (as I have verified the pi has the correct CT setting).

Any ideas how to fix this? Any other calendar module that might handle this differently such as jclarke0000/MMM-MyCalendar?

I note that the calendar module uses ical.js so any change there is a bug in it?

Based on the info at the Cozi page https://www.cozi.com/using-cozi-with-other-calendars/ your calendar should have a share option which will give you a URL. You can use that URL within the default MM calendar module to display upcoming Cozi events.

I am not sure how/if you could use the other Cozi features but the calendar option should be very straight-forward to setup.

Same here too. I thought that perhaps we needed to have MMM-Api module installed but when I install that my MM won’t even start due to errors.
