MMM-MyCalendar install problem

[Freddy_boy]

I’ve been using the default calendar module for awhile now, and living with the incorrect date for one of my recurring events. Specifically, my event occurs on the first Thursday of each month, and the calendar seems to show the correct date for the first occurrence, but all subsequent occurrences seem to happen on the first Wednesday of each month — one day early.

I understand that one solution may be to use the MMM-MyCalendar module instead. I attempted this and discovered that my MM wouldn’t launch, and attempted a workaround shown here:

https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyCalendar/issues/40

As others have reported, MM will now launch, but the calendar never appears (always indicates ‘loading’). I can put back the original calendar module, and just live with the problem, but does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks.

I am running MM version 2.27.0, node v20.4, npm v9.8.1

I read that post already, which allowed me to get the MM running again. I just commented out the lines indicated.

@Freddy_boy what MagicMirror version are you running? there were some significant changes in the latest version

also see this issue for the module

Not sure what happened here… You indicate that this issue is solved…? I still don’t have a calendar yet. MM launches now, but I only have an indication that the calendar is “Loading…” but it never appears.

@Freddy_boy ok, I guessed it was solved…

so, look at the messages where you start MM

if pm2, then

pm2 logs --lines=xxx
where xxx is some number, default 15
you might need 100

always best when adding/changing NOT to use pm2

pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start 

then u can see the messages immediately

when u get it all working then
pm2 status
and then pm2 start x
where x is the name or number on the row of the managed app you want to start

pm2 --help will show you all the command options
this is a typical scenario for all linux command line commands --help shows the help
and most times
man command_name
will show you the user manual
q, quits the manual display

[Freddy_boy]

I don’t believe that I am using pm2. Here are the logs when MM starts:

yep

you didn’t get all the change from the linked issue

[Freddy_boy]

Ah, yes. That was it. Instead of manually making the changes, I just copied the entire code and pasted. Seems to work now. Thanks!

Really… I have to delete this…

In all case, I’m happy that’s resolved.
