MMM-CalendarExt2 showing daily in columns

chris_d

I’ve had a good look round and a play with the different views.
I’m really wanting a daily view where each day is a column of information, very much like the example for MMM-CalendarExt.
When I use the daily view for MMM-CalendarExt2 it stacks the days on top of each other, see image.

How can I get them to be next to each other?

@chris_d This module is on life support. The author abandoned MagicMirror - however, as I maintain one of his projects, I have a bit of insight into how he does things - the control over how things are displayed is almost 100% CSS.

Look into the module’s css file for clues.

Hopefully, we can get someone who is good with CSS to help you.

New to Magicmirror but I found some example code in the author’s module folder that did the job for me at least.

If you scroll down on the page, you will find the code for config and css changes.

In theory the following lines to daily view config should fix it for you I guess(did for me):

type: "row",
slotCount: "5",

type: “row”,

Greetings indeed :-)
That has worked great thank you.
I had some formatting issues, but I was trying to constrain it into the wrong region, now fixed.!

I’ve run into another issue, in that it’s stopped displaying events “today”
In the example screenshot here, there should be three events. The calendars are displaying events on other days.

Any ideas why “today” is not displaying?

@chris_d

Good to see that everything worked out in the end! :)

Regards your new problem, I’m as clueless as you :(
I use the same view (with no issues) so I’ll post my config in case I have something different settings then you:

name: "Oversikt",
mode: "daily",
type: "row",
position: "bottom_bar",
slotCount: "5",
locale: "en",
hideOverflow: false,
filterPassedEvent: true,
calendars: ["Aktiviteter","Mat"],

then you:

Thanks.
In an interesting development today the “today” section now has content but the “Saturday” content is blank, so it’s something to do with the number of columns. Will plug away at it and see if I can sort it.
If I add a slotCount: “6”, I get the 6th column, but the 5th is still blank.
Most strange…

@chris_d And just to report that todays “shuffle” has resolved the issue.
No idea what was going on there, possibly some caching. but I now have things working great. Thanks all.

@chris_d Sometimes little bugs like that happen. Usually, it just takes a refresh to fix.

Glad to see it’s working.
