I have three:
Built in Calendar module - While it’s normally a display module, I use it in the background to handle the calendar retrieval for MMM-CalendarExt3 (Day mode), MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda (Agenda), and MMM-Multimonth (My own module for month mode because I didn’t like MMM-CX3’s month mode)

Hello,

How did you do that? Can you support me?

[sdetweil]

@juli2709 just comment out the
position:
setting for the default calendar module

[BKeyport]

@juli2709

two slashes before whatever you want to comment (//):

			module: "calendar", // Built in
			//position: "top_center",  // Currently hidden 
			config: {
...

Or, simply don’t include the position item.

		module: "calendar", // Built in
			config: {
    ...

As a side note, if you want to comment out more than one line in the config, you can use the alternate syntax (/* comment */):

/*	IRS Dropped		{
						url: "webcal://www.tax.gov/calendar/employer/calendar.ics",
						name: "IRS",
						symbol: "dollar-sign",
						color: green,
					}, */

this will work with any module.

// Currently hidden

Thank you! Actually so simple! :-)

@juli2709 most everything on the config is.

Two modules…
My MagicMirror is running on an OLED display, so I am using MMM-MagicMover and MMM-BurnIn to prevent screen damage.

and a complete suite…
MMM-GoogleAssistant and its components (Pages, Volume, Screen, Pir, Keyboard, TelegramBot, …) – priceless.

@brentmatthews Hi Sam,

I seem to be missing something with KeyBindings as the arrow keys are not making the pages change. Would you mind advising if you have the time.

		{
			module: "MMM-Carousel",
			disabled: false,
      			position: "bottom_bar", // Required only for navigation controls
      			config: {
        			transitionInterval: 0, //20000,
                		showPageIndicators: true,
                		showPageControls: true,
        			ignoreModules: ['alert', 'updatenotification', 'MMM-KeyBindings'],
				mode: "slides",
        			slides: {
          				main: ['clock', 'MMM-OpenWeatherForecast', 'MMM-WOTD', 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow'],
          				"Slide 1": ['clock', 'MMM-OpenWeatherForecast', 'MMM-MyCalendar', 'MMM-TomTomCalculateRouteTraffic', 'MMM-MyWastePickup', 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow'],
				},
				keyBindings: {
					enabled: true,
					map: {
						NextSlide: "ArrowRight",
						PrevSlide: "ArrowLeft",
					},
					mode: "DEFAULT"
		        		}
				},
		},

@brentmatthews you have to use the MMM-Keybindings module for the actual keypress

Integration with MMM-KeyBindings

[brentmatthews]

@sdetweil so I would put this bit as a stand alone module just with no position.

{
    module: 'MMM-KeyBindings',
    config: {
        evdev: { enabled: false },
        enableKeyboard: true,
    }
},

@brentmatthews sorry, I don’t know… give it a try

I don’t know the workings of most modules…
I can help with getting the config data into the right places, or detect when config isn’t specified right…
