MMM-Carousel error when position is undefined

[sdetweil]

@Chunnel414 carousel doesn’t need a position as it has no content to display of its own.

it just hides/shows other module content

I never tries the positional config.

@Chunnel414 you can do the same thing with MMM-pages…

make everything classes:“fixed” (using the simplified naming config)
except those modules

they will be classes:“page1”, “page2”… etc

and pages will have 5 pages defines

      {
        module: "MMM-pages",
        disabled: false,
        config: {
          modules: [
            [
              "page1"
            ],
            [
              "page2"
            ],
            [
              "page3"
            ],
            [
              "page4"
            ],
            [
              "page5"
            ]
          ],
          fixed: [
            "fixed"
          ],
          animationTime: 10000,
          hiddenPages: {
          }
        },
        order: "*"
      },

the 5 modules are all configured top_right
only one will show at a time

{
   module:"clock",
   position:"top_right",
   classes:"page1",
   config:{
   ...
   ...
   }
}
etc

@sdetweil thanks. I’ll take a look at pages.

I understand that carousel does not require the position. Although, as I described, if I did not put the position in there, the function of the carousel would not happen. And when I put the position back in the carousel function would work. I agree that it should not be required which is why I am providing this information as something appears to not be working appropriately.

@Chunnel414 i looked thru the code, and don’t see any impact of not having a position

[sdetweil]

@Chunnel414 did you get a solution working?

@Chunnel414
My MMM-Carousel does not have a position and it works fine…

@sdetweil
I ended up getting carousel to work by putting the position in the top bar and making some css mods.

@Chunnel414 long as you got it!!
