      @sdetweil said in Looking for feedback and advice:

      head - documents scripts and css files used on this page
      body - holds the displayable context. text, ,tables, graphs, images, etc

      That makes sense now, as you can tell I’m not fully versed in the understanding of these things. Now I know.

      @sdetweil said in Looking for feedback and advice:

      when you say look at github, what do you mean?

      I honestly didn’t even know it was showing the README.md file until you brought it up and I just went back to see. (I associate https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-CalendarExt3 to a webpage, but it’s kind of a different setup. First real time using github ever)

      I’m the kind of guy that puts things together first, then when it doesn’t work right, I read the instructions…makes life … difficult sometimes.

      Thank you for all this info. It helps an old GI like me.

    • RE: Looking for feedback and advice

      Posting this for any newcomers like me that weren’t really pointed in any direction, and don’t know the terminology in which to search for answers.

      1. Advice (right or wrong) on current setup
        A: I don’t really have answer for this, I know what I did to correct my issues, but don’t fully understand the why of it all.
      2. Extend the event name for less wrap-around
        A: maxTitleLength, maxLocationTitleLength & maxLocationEvents (look at the Config details on the github of the module) is what worked for me.
      3. Show Location (if any) of event? (line below possible?)
        A: showLocation: true,
      4. Extend EXT3 to bottom of screen in this position
        A: this took a lot longer to figure out, but using Dev mode is what made me figure it out. I was trying to use a height: XXXXXpx; (in the .css module content) which was making the screen jump up like half a page…in Dev mode, found the body module was way oversized, changed the height parameter to 100% and that fixed the jumping issue, then figured out in the EXT3 module, I could increase the maxEventLines to expand the module to the bottom of the screen (look at the Config details on the github of the module), works perfect now.
      5. Reconfigure EXT3 module correctly?
        Answered in #4 above.

      ***I still don’t know what the body is or does, but I now know it should match your screensize (i believe) There is also something in the EXT3 module that makes the height parameter not work which is probably by design, because stretching a module would probably make it look weird, thankfully adding event lines is builtin. Going back and reading all the modules on github made me figure everything out. Uploading the final result. ***

      @sdetweil Agenda view on left side is default calendar (can see in my posted config)
      Main month calendar on right side of screen is EXT3.

      @Xsoldier2000 but???

      Last but not least, I can’t seem to extend the MMM-CalendarEXT3 module to the bottom of the screen,

      Not sure what you mean here…I’ve tried expanding the height, but it doesn’t seem to go past a certain hard point on the screen. Is there a limit? (I wouldn’t like to add another week on the calendar, just stretch it down.)

      @sdetweil said in Looking for feedback and advice:

      @Xsoldier2000 you can disable the ext3 while you adjust others

      Ended up commenting out the position to do that. Just didn’t know if the Calendar module was acting the way it should.

      @sdetweil Ahhh, I am just using the OOTB Calendar module, I’ll look into the EXT3 Agenda module. Thank you!

    • Looking for feedback and advice

      Hello, I started out this journey dabbling around and getting in WAY over my head. (I’m still in way over my head, but no longer scared to be here. I had originally setup my mirrorless Family board by resizing regions and while trying to fine tune my board I was running into all kinds of issues. SO I wiped MM from my pi and started over. I’m looking for advice on my current setup (advice on things I did wrong and how I could do better) Also wondering in the agenda side of things, can I somehow make the event line longer on top to have less wrap around…can I also somehow show the location of the event if there is one? Last but not least, I can’t seem to extend the MMM-CalendarEXT3 module to the bottom of the screen, is there some sort of limit to the size of it that I haven’t come across yet? While in Dev model, when I try to select the agenda module, I can only select the EXT3 module because of the Olympics sizes movements I went through to move the module in the spot it is in currently. Should I have done that differently?

      TLDR;

      1. Advice (right or wrong) on current setup
      2. Extend the even name for less wrap-around
      3. Show Location (if any) of event? (line below possible?)
      4. Extend EXT3 to bottom of screen in this position
      5. Reconfigure EXT3 module correctly?

    • RE: Needing help with Regions please

      @sdetweil yes, I was definitely the dev window, just didn’t know the terminology. Think I’ve read through your second link twice (might have nodded of there a couple times), but you pointed me in the right direction, thank you.

    • Needing help with Regions please

      [alt text](MM Help.png image url)

      I’m trying to :

      1. Make the padding or margin around all my modules be like 1 pixel (custom css posted below) (edit: I had it stretched to the edges, made a couple changes to the css and lost the code to make it work)!
      2. Squish this bottom_right region down to just under the calendar and the css doesn’t seem to affect it.
      3. Make the bottom_center region right justified so the Current conditions are right next to the forcast

      I might not be doing things the right way, so if anyone has any better ideas, I’m all for learning.

      custom css:

        
        /* Region Definitions */
        .region .container .module {
        margin: 0px;
        background-color: rgba(0 0 0 /10);
        min-width: 300px;
        position: relative;
      }
        
        .region.top.right {
          position: absolute;
          width: 80%;
          height: 90%;
        }
         
       // .region.bottom.right {
          position: absolute;
          height: 30%;
          width: 16.5%;
        }
          
        .region.bottom.left {
          position: absolute;
          width: 16.5%;
        }
        
          .region.top.left {
          position: absolute;
          width: 16.5%;
        }
        
       .clock .time {
          font-size: 75px;
        }
      
        .anylist ul {
        margin: 0;
        font-size: 24px;
        padding: 0px;
        line-height: 25px;
        color: white;
