Custom Symbols in monthly calendar not matching default calendar

[mgh151]

Thanks so much for addressing my issue / enhancement. When I pulled the new code I noticed that the set calendar symbol didn't translate to the monthly calendar. I've attached screenshots and below is the js file lines for my existing calendars. I'd look into debugging the code but I've had a few to many eggnogs tonight.

calendars: [

{
symbol: "calendar-check",
url: "#################"
},

{
symbol: "utensils",
url: "#################################"
},

Here is the block of code from the default calendar module that replaces the default symbol (the calendar) with the custom symbols. not sure if it helps at all.

line 240 in the calendar.js https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/master/modules/default/calendar/calendar.js

			const symbols = this.symbolsForEvent(event);
			// If symbols are displayed and custom symbol is set, replace event symbol
			if (this.config.displaySymbol && this.config.customEvents.length > 0) {
				for (let ev in this.config.customEvents) {
					if (typeof this.config.customEvents[ev].symbol !== "undefined" && this.config.customEvents[ev].symbol !== "") {
						let needle = new RegExp(this.config.customEvents[ev].keyword, "gi");
						if (needle.test(event.title)) {
							symbols[0] = this.config.customEvents[ev].symbol;
							break;
						}
					}
				}
			}

symbols.forEach((s, index) => {
				const symbol = document.createElement("span");
				symbol.className = "fa fa-fw fa-" + s;
				if (index > 0) {
					symbol.style.paddingLeft = "5px";
				}
				symbolWrapper.appendChild(symbol);
			});
			eventWrapper.appendChild(symbolWrapper);
		} else if (this.config.timeFormat === "dateheaders") {
			const blankCell = document.createElement("td");
			blankCell.innerHTML = "   ";
			eventWrapper.appendChild(blankCell);
		}

This is a bug in the calendar module, it doesn't include the custom symbol in the CALENDAR_EVENTS message. I've opened a PR to fix the module there: MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror#2754

The PR has been accepted upstream, so you can either try running develop now, make the changes to your local installation, or wait for the next release, and you will see custom symbols for your events.
