    • Need assistance with layering of clickable zones on multiple pages

      Hey all! I’m using MMM-Carousel with navigation control on a touchscreen laptop. On the front page I have MMM-CalendarExt3 running on the middle-center zone. On the 2nd page I’ve created two zones to center some lists on the left and right halves of the screen.

      Touching the lists and the navigation bar works fine. However, when I try to click on the Calendar, nothing happens. I’ve used the console to determine the issue is with the layering of the zones. My custom zones “myleft” and “myright” are above the “middle-center” zone, so it makes it not clickable.

      Does anyone have suggestions on how to deal with this? Do I need to put them side-by-side in the middle-center zone? When I move the MMM-CalendarExt3 to myleft, everything works as desired. But if I put both lists on middle-center, they stack on top of each other.

      Any help is appreciated!

    • Any solutions for simple shopping list app anymore?

      Hey everyone! I’m building my MagicMirror and would love to incorporate some lists, namely a shopping list, though others would be nice. I’m running on an old Chromebook (with Linux) and folded into tablet mode. I’ve got a touchscreen, so being able to check things off when we add them to a cart and being able to add things directly at the mirror (using voice to text?) would be my ideal solution.

      Google API has been restricted to enterprise users, so it seems like most/all of those solutions are now broken.

      I’ve got a Todoist list embedded in an iframe for my kid’s chore chart. I could use a different Todoist list but that seems more task-oriented and a little clunky for what I want.

      I’ve seen various posts about it, but no real solutions, so I’m curious what others use?

    • RE: Unable to get MMM-Calendar to broadcast past events

      @sdetweil Thank you! I knew I was doing something silly. Moving those config settings inside the config brackets fixed my issue!!

      I think the “fatal” error was because I had already run that command once, but I can’t say for certain.

      Again, I appreciate your help on this!

    • RE: Unable to get MMM-Calendar to broadcast past events

      @sdetweil Thanks so much for the reply! I didn’t know about that fix and have now applied it. However, it is still only broadcasting future events. I only get the 2 events (today and tomorrow). Nothing from the 24th-26th.

      I ran into the “package-lock.json” error. Removed that file, proceeded with installation. Then restarted MM. No change so rebooted the machine to feel good about myself. Ran “npm run install-mm” again after the reboot. Still no change.

      Here’s the result of the 2nd install (after reboot):

      tim@calendar:~$ cd ~/MagicMirror/
      tim@calendar:~/MagicMirror$ git fetch origin pull/3679/head:_fix_clipping
      fatal: refusing to fetch into branch 'refs/heads/_fix_clipping' checked out at '/home/tim/MagicMirror'
      tim@calendar:~/MagicMirror$ git switch _fix_clipping
      M       index.html
      Already on '_fix_clipping'
      tim@calendar:~/MagicMirror$ npm run install-mm

    • Unable to get MMM-Calendar to broadcast past events

      I’m a new user trying to get my MagicMirror up and running. I’m running into an issue with MMM-Calendar or MMM-CalendarExt3. I’m using the “week” view and as soon as events are in the past, it won’t show any of them.

      I’ve done a bit of browsing on the forum (amazing community of helpful people, BTW!) and believe I have everything aligned, including setting maximumEntries, maximumNumberOfDays, pastDaysCount, and broadcastPastEvents in MMM-calendar.

      I created a test calendar to try to simplify things, and created 5 events, one on each day of the week this week. When running MagicMirror, I get a notification that Calendar-Fetcher for [FAMILY] is broadcasting 3 events, presumably today, tomorrow and Friday. See below for the 5 expected events.

      Here’s my code (with personal details omitted):

      	modules: [
                             		{
                             			module: "alert",
                             		},
                             		{
                             			module: "calendar",
                             			position: "top_right",
                             			maximumEntries: 10000,
                             			maximumNumberOfDays: 28,
                             			pastDaysCount: 14,
                             			maxTitleLength: 50,
                             			showLocation: false,
                             			wrapEvents: true,
                             			broadcastPastEvents: true,
                             			config: {
                             				calendars: [
                             					{
                             						//fetchInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
                             						url: "https://ics.calendarlabs.com/76/mm3137/US_Holidays.ics",
                             						name: "Holidays",
                             						color: "#7c7c7c",						
                             					},
                             					{
                             						//Family Calendar
                             						url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/[PRIVATE CALENDAR ADDRESS]/basic.ics",
                             						name: "Family",
                             						color: "#e7ba51",
                             					},
                             				]
                             			}
                             		},
                             		{
                             			module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
                             			position: "top_left",
                             			title: "",
                             			config: {
                             				instanceID: "familyCalendar",
                             				mode: "week",
                             				weekIndex: 0,
                             				weeksInView: 2,
                             				maxEventLines: 5,
                             				firstDayOfWeek: 0,
                             				cellDateOptions: {month: 'long', day: 'numeric'},
                             				maxEventLines: 8,
                             				calendarSet: ['Holidays', 'Family', 'School'],
                             			}
                             		},
                             		
      

      Here’s a screengrab of my Google Calendar and what I would expect to see in MMM-CalendarExt3:
      calendar.jpg

      And here’s what’s on my MagicMirror:
      screen.jpg

      I’m guessing I’m missing something simple, but I just don’t see it. I appreciate everyone’s help!
