Changing icons of the modules Current Weather and Weather Forecast

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 yes the current/forecast are not unique modules now…but mm provides a way to differentiate between two of the same module

you can add arbitrary names that are used in the class of the module in the html tree, and then use that class in your custom.css

I wish I had thought of the sooner

in the config.js for one of the weather modules, showing forecast for instance, after the module name line add

    module:"weather",
    classes:"forecast",
...
...

then in the custom.css, for the icons used in forecast change the primary selector
from

.weather

to

.forecast

if I had thought of this first, we would have just added the two classes lines in config.js

one for currentweather and one for weatherforecast, each on the appropriate weather module instance

@sdetweil Ok, I will try, thanks for your help, you are the best:clapping_hands:

@sdetweil I tried but it doesn’t work, I don’t know if I did things wrong, in config.js I added the line < classes: “current”,’ > I changed forecast to current:

{
			disabled: false,
			module: "weather",
			classes: "current",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Meteo Ile d'Olonne",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
				type: "current",
				location: "Olonne-sur-Mer,France",
				locationID: "2989572", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				apiKey: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
			}
		},
		
		{
			disabled: false,
			module: "weather",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Meteo",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
				type: "forecast",
				location: "Olonne-sur-Mer,France",
				locationID: "2989572", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				apiKey: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
				
			}

then I changed the first part of the lines in my custom ccs by adding current, I send you the first lines, but it doesn’t change anything, the icons are still identical:

/* Aenderungen Wetter Icon */
/* Aenderungen aktuelles Wetter */

.current .weathericon {
  position: absolute;
  z-index: 0;
  height: 200px;
  right: 180px;
  margin-top: -65px;
}

.current .wi-day-sunny {
content: url("/css/icons/day.svg");
padding-left: 60px;
padding-top: 7px;
height: 100px;
}

.current .wi-day-cloudy {
content: url("/css/icons/cloudy-day-1.svg");
padding-left: 60px;
padding-top: 7px;
height: 100px;
}

@Manu85 and you restarted MM, correct?
can u open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i on the browser being used to display MM,

then select the elements tab, and the pointer in the top left corner and move the mouse over the page content til it select all the current weather content, then click

on the right side you will see the css classes used and where they came from
main.css at the bottom and the stck over overrides bottom to top…

strikethru means overridden by some class higher up

in the module css you should see the name current

here is alink to a topic about using the dev window elements tab
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/post/90135

here I used forecast (.forecast in the custom.css) the yellow rectangles mark the content of interest
top left confirms that the the classes: was used
bottom left indicates the icon class to be used
top right shows that icon class, and its source (right edge)

@sdetweil
I use RealVNC Viewer and when I do ctrl-shift-i I have this window which opens I click at the top left and with my mouse I browse the lines, I have several lines with weather but when I click on them none opens another window

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 yes, good

click the arrow pointer in the red box
then move the mouse over the weather content in the left side page, it will select the content as it goes… make sure the entire weather content is selected
then click

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 when its auto selected it will look like this

[Manu85]

@sdetweil
it’s complicated, I can’t have a selection like you, I selected the icon at the top with the cloud and the moon I have lines that have changed on the table on the right but I don’t have another window that opens

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 i’ve never done this over vnc…

the right panel is just hidden on your vnc screen. you might be able to scroll right

if you are in the same house as MM, you dont need to use vnc to view the page

as long as your config.js says

address:"0.0.0.0",
ipWhiltelist:[],

then any machine on the same network can attach, so you can do this from your windows machine too… and do the debug from there as well

@sdetweil my js config says that!

fig = {
	address: "localhost", // Address to listen on, can be:
	                      // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
	                      // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
	                      // - "", "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
	                      // Default, when address config is left out, is "localhost"
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
	                                                       // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
	                                                       // or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],
