I’m not sure if that’s a challenge or a warning. I guess I’m going to setup a new dev environment.

@sdetweil there are repeating events, just not on the proper days of the week.

I believe you when you say it’s messy. I don’t know JS but I know more about it now over the past three days than I ever thought I would. I’ve never really messed around with calendars and some of this stuff. Much of it is foreign to me.

@sdetweil

That’s interesting and my issue is really strange still. One series of my recurrences shifts from Wednesday to Thursday after the first one that displays. So, the first occurrence is on Wednesday, the next three are on Thursday. The other series starts on the second week of the month on a Saturday, and the recurrences are also on Saturday and nothing is wrong in that series.

@sdetweil

When I concatenate the ics, I don’t find any “RULE” using grep. I’ve re-downloaded and it’s simply not there. Perhaps Nextcloud doesn’t generate it that way?

@MMRIZE

RRULES is not in the file that I could find. I also downloaded the ics directly from my Nextcloud instance and tried a manual static load like BasicUser did found here:

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/13488/default-calendar-and-nextcloud-caldav

Effectively, I am cutting out the use of any 3rd party module and the recurrences are the same. The recurrences on Saturdays are correct while my recurrences on Wednesday shift to Thursdays after the first event. The ics loads just like when I pull it directly from the export url; SOME of the recurrences are a day ahead. This appears to be an issue with the default calendar and not the ics or the third party modules because the third party modules mirror what the default calendar sees and the ics file displays correctly in other applications and programs.

Perhaps I will spend some time looking into learning more about JS this weekend so I can troubleshoot further.

@sdetweil ok, then I’m stuck. Thanks for your help!

@sdetweil

Here it is. I’d rather not have a public subscription out there but it is what it is.

@sdetweil Sorry, I’ve made a mess out of my config file the past three days figuring this out. I used the CalDav 3rd party module to create ics file, so if it’s not correct, I suppose I should download the ics directly from my calendar to troubleshoot. Perhaps the problem is in CalDav and I’m asking the questions in the wrong forum.

For a work-around, I can use the public subscription to the calendar just fine but the recurrences are shifted over one day like in a previous post in this forum you participated in. I looked at the calendarutils.js you mention in that posting for modification but I don’t see the lines that should be modified. I would rather use the ics method but will use this export method if I can get the events to be in the correct day. Can you help me with that?

@sdetweil here is some information:

                                calendars: [

                                                fetchInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,

                                                },
                                        },

@sdetweil Thanks for the reply.

I have the maximumEntries: 100 but only the initial event displays and does not recur.

Any other ideas?
