New module: Weather effects

[sdetweil]

@cgillinger yes, commenting out the psosition still allows the module to work in the background…
also do this for calendar with Ext3 family of modules

@uros76 said in New module: Weather effects:

I installed the MMM-Logging and checked the npm start console for any hint of notifications coming through

yes, if they don’t print a console message then its not in the the log for logging to forward…

@sdetweil said in New module: Weather effects:

@uros76 yes, it was https://github.com/glitch452/MMM-ViewNotifications

it shows for me

Well that’s interesting. I will keep trying to get this one to work. Not sure why it’s refusing to workfor me

[uros76]

On my test MM install the weather effects work. This confirms the module is getting the notification broadcast from wethaer after all.

But the viewnotifications module doesn’t come up. I will keep it running for a bit longer to see if notifications show up. Even the newsfeed notifications should come up I think…
It’s not the end of the world, I am just digging into why I can’t see notifications :)

what position is it in?

[uros76]

@sdetweil top_left. It should show up under the clock.

[sdetweil]

@uros76 did you use the default config?

 {
            module: 'MMM-ViewNotifications',
            position: "top_left",
            header: "Notifications",
            classes:"page1",  // for MMM-pages
            config: {
                // See below for Configuration Options
            }
},

[uros76]

@sdetweil yes I used the default config. I also added timeout: 0 to see if I perhaps missed them. Default is 8sec timeout before notifications disappear.

[sdetweil]

@uros76 ok… did the header appear?

[uros76]

@sdetweil nope, cant even see the header of the notifications module. I am running this test enviroment as a server mode and on a windows 10 PC. If that makes any difference.

[sdetweil]

@uros76 its only in browser, so thats all that matters…

notifications list can’t last forever as its crazy busy sometimes…

open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, select the elements tab, and expand the top bar, top left section
(mine is in bottom left)

[uros76]

@sdetweil I changed it to top_center location to see if that could help. No difference.
Inspecting the developers window I can’t see anything in top_center region.

This is the config I am using

[sdetweil]

@uros76 I changed mine to timeout:0… and they show and stay

what is that stuff on body? I don’t have that
nano ~/MagicMirror/index.html

that is the page definition
unless some other modules is hacking the dom…

[uros76]

@sdetweil that must be the Grammarly extension on my chrome browser. I’ll retry with different browser later and report back.

[uros76]

@sdetweil I tried on Edge and Firefox browser and it’s the same, I can’t see the notifications module loading in the selected region position. No clue what could prevent this module from loading.

[uros76]

Okay, I just reinstalled the whole test environment from scratch and now it works. Why the hell it didn’t work earlier I don’t know. Important is that it works.
Thanks again @sdetweil for all the assistance and guidance.

[sdetweil]

@uros76 awesome… also no idea why it wouldn’t work before
