MMM-ModulesGroupsRotation - simple alternative to MMM-pages

[sdetweil]

@plainbroke AND I ASSUME you only have ONE module on that page…

[plainbroke]

@sdetweil
Yes, you are correct.

                 module: "MMM-Carousel",
                        config: {
                        transitionInterval: 90000,
                        ignoreModules: [],
                        mode: "slides",
                        slides: [
                                ["MMM-CalendarExt3", "clock", "compliments"],

@plainbroke said in MMM-ModulesGroupsRotation - simple alternative to MMM-pages:

       ["MMM-ImagesPhotos", "clock", "compliments"],

I only see one that that display images that I am aware of… and it has 3 modules.

[plainbroke]

@sdetweil
Well it could have only the one. I could put clock and compliments in the ignore part. if that would make a difference?

[sdetweil]

@plainbroke just trying to understand the words…

you said module, but you meant page.

[sdetweil]

@plainbroke ok here you go

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
rename current MMM-Carousel folder to something else

git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Carousel

same config.js with one addition

new field

slideTimeout: [
   { index: 0, timeout:5*60*1000},   // this one is more than your transitionInterval
   { index: 12: timeout: 1*60*1000} // this one is less than  your transition interval
],

index starts at 0 for 1st slide in the slides list
you can override as many as you like with different settings for each

the timeout value is in milliseconds like the transitionInterval

if any slide’s index is not in the slideTimeout list,
then it gets the transitionInterval delay time

if you don’t add any slideTimeout entries, it just like the previous module…

the slideTimeout list does not have to be in any particular order

[sdetweil]

@plainbroke I decided that index was a lousy term , slideNumber is better and starts with 1

it is a more human thing…

either will work, index starting at 0, or slideNumber start at 1

I have updated the readme as well.

[sdetweil]

@plainbroke I’ve updated my fork of MMM-pages with the same function .
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-pages

only they are called pages instead of slides

pageTimeout: [ {pageNumber:x, timeout:nnnnn},....]

[lazerclone]

@plainbroke The repo is public. Maybe you are trying to clone the https link and not the ssh. Do you still have an issue?

[sdetweil]

@lazerclone I was able to fork, i submitted a pr for this different page timeout

[lazerclone]

@sdetweil Nice! I just merged your PR

[plainbroke]

@lazerclone
@sdetweil
Thank you both for your help it actually works like you say…
As long as I can keep our power on.
We are getting a string of storms here in Kansas and we are evidently dead center of their paths.
So far I have lost a HDD in my Mirror
The Hdd in my main computer windows.
and now the damn A/C pooped out.
Storm season should be over and oven on high season should be the norm.
Welcome to Kansas.

[sdetweil]

@plainbroke yes, texas is fun too… mostly the oven section…

UPS battery backup saves the day…
