1. XXX_center is not a good place to use CX3 module. center position too narrow and doesn’t have a fixed width because it is decided by left and right width by calculation. Especially in the vertical screen? Terrible. You may have only around 1000px(considering the gap of margin) width of the vertical screen, and that number should be shared with another region, left and right. Usually, a pretty side region would have over 300px, so your center region will have only 300~400px. It is not enough for 7 days cells of the calendar.
   I recommend bottom_bar.

2. The CX3 module doesn’t handle ICS data directly. You may need the default calendar module as a calendar events provider. You also need to set the `broadcastEvents’- related properties properly.

3. It seems you already did CSS modification; it’s your taste. I’ll not mention about it. Anyway, I cannot agree that the default CSS would be awful at all.
   

@brentmatthews
Ah sorry. It was not about you. I had confusing @srobison62 and you.

@brentmatthews
So… what you expected and what you got really that looked hideous?

@srobison62
Show us TO-BE and AS-IS.

@caw
I cannot say anything without the full log. But at the first execution, ics would not be written yet, (calendar module is so fast than CalDAV’s connection and parsing) so just wait for the next cycle to finish serving, or just stop and rerun MM. From the second execution, ics will be served.

[ERROR] Error: EACCES: permission denied, open ‘/opt/magic_mirror/modules/MMM-CalDAV/service/.SYNOLOGY_Simon.ics’

I’m not familiar with the Docker setting. Anyway, it seems to be a permission issue. The docker container creation and execution might be performed by different accounts. Or you may need proper permission for those files or directories. However, I have no idea of Docker environment, so that’s all I can say.

@caw said in MMM-CalDAV:

{
module :“MMM-CalDAV”,
config: {
servers: [
{
envPrefix: “SYNOLOGY_”,
serverUrl: “https://myownsynologyadress.de/caldav/”,

And you’ve missed a closing brace in your code.

 {
		module :"MMM-CalDAV",
		config: {
			servers: [
				{
					envPrefix: "SYNOLOGY_",
					serverUrl: "https://myownsynologyadress.de/caldav/",

@caw said in MMM-CalDAV:

following error occurs

???
I cannot understand the context. What did you do? The image seems like that something on the browser.

Does your MagicMirror is executed on the Synology NAS with Docker?

@caw could you show me the capture of error message to know what happened?

@moosespectacles
I think what you want is MMM-CalendarExtJournal, not this module.

1. Install

cd <Your MagicMirror directory>/modules
git clone https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-CalDAV
cd MMM-CalDAV
npm install

2. There would be .env (It would be hidden, so you should check it with ls -al or equivalent for your environment/OS)
   

If not there, copy it from env.example

cp env.example .env

3. Open your Synology Calendar. You can open it from your Synology Package Center Or installed app lists. Usually it will have http(s)://<IP_OR_URL>:<PORT(5000 or 5001)>/?launchApp=SYNO.Cal.Application as URL so you can open it on the browser.

You will see something like this.

4. Get the CadDAV account. Copy or memo the URL. Usually URL will have http(s)://<IP_OR_URL>:<PORT_5000_OR_5001>/caldav/ format.
   

5. Back to the terminal. Open the .env file with your favourite editor. Then, fulfil these lines.
   

6. Then configure the MMM-CalDAV module and the calendar module like this.
   

Carefully See the configuration of the calendar module.

7. Then run the MagicMirror.
   At the very first execution, some time would be needed for CalDAV calendars to be reflected on the screen. So, just stop the MagicMirror.

If CalDAV calendars would be success to be derived, the log will say something like this.

[2024-09-03 22:52:01.461] [LOG]   [CALDAV] File: SYNOLOGY_test.ics is refreshed.

And there be files to be hosted in the service directory like these;

I have two calendars, My Calendar and test, so there would be 2 hidden ics files generated, service/.SYNOLOGY_My_20Calendar.ics and service/.SYNOLOGY_test.ics.

But the real URL consumed by the calendar module would be http://localhost:8080/CALDAV/SYNOLOGY_test.ics, don’t be confused.

8. Rerun the MM again. Now on the screen, your hosting calendar will be served.
   

This module will work with USB cam.

As far as I know, Google Keep API works only under enterprise environments, so personal/private user cannot use it.

@vinlo2

1. CX2 works as standalone, so you don’t need to rely on the default calendar module. You have to include the ics URL in your config of CX2 (in calendars section. Read the Manual.)

2. I moved to CX3, but leave CX2 as it is. If you are satisfied with CX2, just keep to use it.

@NotMyCircus said in Large Numbers:

would it make more sense to modify the EXT3 module rather than making so many changes in the css?

It is up to you. But when you modify the source code, you may have the problem on the next update of the module.

You can get a hint from this thread.

Yes, I can tell you and it will not be so difficult but I’m not with my PC and I have only iPhone now. I can’t type precise answer at this moment, until the day after tomorrow, return from my business trip.

@Tiller
CalDAV is different to general ics hosting.

Usually, the URL of Synology CalDAV accessing would be;

https://IP_OR_URL:5001/caldav/
http://IP_OR_URL:5000/caldav/

Anyway, there would be some log to diagnosis. Can you show the frontend and backend logs?

@Tiller said in MMM-CalDAV:

CALDAV_SERVICE_USERNAME=
CALDAV_SERVICE_USERNAME=

For SYNOLOGY

SYNOLOGY_username=username1
SYNOLOGY_password=password1

I think you may have confusing the username and password for the server and the module.

SYNOLOGY_username=username1
SYNOLOGY_password=password1

This is for your Synology Caldav Server, usually it is your account id/password to login Synology Server (Or Synology calendar account)

CALDAV_SERVICE_USERNAME=username2
CALDAV_SERVICE_PASSWORD=password2

This is a different thing. It is used for your MM calendar module. This module provide a secure calendar ics host by itself with this auth information. You should need to set your calendar config like this;

// default calendar module.
{
  module: "calendar",
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
    calendars: [
      {
        symbol: "calendar-check",
        url: "http://localhost:8080/CALDAV/SYNOLOGY_Family.ics",
        auth: { // REQUIRED
          user: 'username2', // <= used here (CALDAV_SERVICE_USERNAME)
          pass: 'password2', // <= used here (CALDAV_SERVICE_PASSWORD)
          method: 'basic'
        }
      },
...
