for (var i = 0; i < eventToDelete.length; i++) {
}
eventToDelete[i].deleteEvent();

Thats what I noticed, anyway its all good, dont see that issue in any code now.
Also I noticed that my birthday calendar has all my appointments and such. I see the logic is basically copying my main calendar into the birthday calendar. I manually delete everything out of my birthday calendar except for the birthdays, all is good…until…the script runs again then I back to having everything in my birthday calendar.

@bolish
That got it for me, you did have the eventToDelete[i].deleteEvent(); outside the for loop, anyway its working like it should now.

@bolish said in Getting Google Contacts birthdays into Calendar:

function Sync_Birth_Cal() {

// Calendars adress (ID)

var calendarSource = CalendarApp.getCalendarById(“THE ID OF YOUR CONTACT CALENDAR”);
var calendarDestination = CalendarApp.getCalendarById(“THE ID OF THE CREATED CALENDAR”);

// Start and End Date definition

var Today = new Date();
var StartDeleteDate = new Date();
var EndDeleteDate = new Date();
var StartCopyDate = new Date();
var EndCopyDate = new Date();

StartDeleteDate.setDate(Today.getDate()-400);
EndDeleteDate.setDate(Today.getDate()+400);
StartCopyDate.setDate(Today.getDate()-360);
EndCopyDate.setDate(Today.getDate()+360);

// first deletes all datas in calendar

var eventToDelete = calendarDestination.getEvents(StartDeleteDate, EndDeleteDate);

for (var i = 0; i < eventToDelete.length; i++) {
eventToDelete[i].deleteEvent();
}

// then copy everything again

var eventToCopy = calendarSource.getEvents(StartCopyDate, EndCopyDate);

for (var t in eventToCopy){
var newEvent = calendarDestination.createEvent(eventToCopy[t].getTitle(), eventToCopy[t].getStartTime(), eventToCopy[t].getEndTime());
}

}

I get this error when I try to run the script:

TypeError: Cannot call method “getEvents” of null. (line 25, file “Code”)

I got that sorted, forgot the 2 IDs.
Now I get:
Service invoked too many times in a short time: calendar. Try Utilities.sleep(1000) between calls. (line 37, file “Code”)

I downloaded the client_secret file and copied it to my MMM-GooglePhotos directory.
Step 9 I ran the command as you did:
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GooglePhotos
node auth_and_test.js

It took me back to google account and it gave me the consent code to paste into the console.

It then listed all my albums I have on Google Photos.

Here you go, working for me.

Has anyone gotten MMM-GoogleBirthdaysProvider to work, I know for sure I have a slew of birthdays in the next 2 months. I followed the setup instructions with no issues but I just get the dreaded:
No upcoming events when I know there should be.

Thanks
MW

Nilnik,
I did sort it out, I ended up putting Birthdays and Holidays in there own section, it now displays birthdays above the holidays.
My only issue now is its only showing 1 persons birthday when I know there are many within the next month. Funny the one that is showing is 5 months from now.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Below is the code I am attempting to use to display 2 calendars. When I launch MM i see the Birthday calendar for just a second and it gets over written with the Holiday calendar.

Thanks
MW

                },

                {
                        module: "calendar",
                        header: "Birthdays and US Holidays",

                },

Hi Sam,

So yea I can paste the URL into the browser and view my birthday calendar, however none of my birthdays are there even though I have contacts that have birthdays along with the test ones I added.
So I’m thinking its nothing to do with MagicMirror and has to do with my google account.

Suggestions on how to trouble shoot that? I checked in the google forums and have tried what other users suggested.

Thanks
MW

One today, one tomorrow and 3 next month
