Touchscreen Family Dashboard

[elwood1982uk]

@linkiln @sdetweil thanks again both. I guess what else I need to know is what modifications I need to make to the original files to get them to work/personalised for my own family? (E.g. where do I change values, names, etc?). I do want to learn but have very limited time so when I get a chance to look at it I get very little time to figure stuff out through trial and error and therefore it’s sitting gathering dust - so any pointers/instructions gratefully received! 😉

I’m basically going round in circles. Whenever I restart I have to remember everything from before so it’s very slow progress. I’ve just started fresh, using the auto installer (thanks). Took a while to get node/npm to the right version (I’m not sure why the auto installer didn’t?). Now at the point of adding modules but again I’ve run out of time. Could really do with a straightforward walkthrough (I do realise there is lots of info around/on here, but I find it overwhelming to know where to start, or when something goes wrong (long the node version earlier) how to sort it. Just want an editable touch screen Google calendar! 🤪`

@elwood1982uk send the ~/install.log to my email…
same id as here at gmail. I’ll fix whatever caused the wrong node…

you DID execute install DIRECTLY from the github page, with copy/paste… right?
you did NOT clone that repo and execute from the copy (cause I update it all the time to keep it current)
which is why it have copiable lines to paste and execute

you did start with the FULL image, not the light… light makes things MUCH more complicated

Whenever I restart I have to remember everything from before so it’s very slow progress

if you use my backup/restore scripts, then you wouldn’t have to remember the MM setup
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore
you can add one module, backup
and another backup
(I save versions, so you can get back to any one of them)

but other than that there is no ‘straight forward steps’, do this, then this…

welcome to the learning curve. someone created something new, (touch screen editable calendar)… so there are extra things everywhere…

and a LOT to know…

this is NOT plop a TV on the wall and you’re done…

@elwood1982uk said in Touchscreen Family Dashboard:

editable touch screen Google calendar

google has that already, open the calendar web page… done…
don’t need MagicMirror to do that

@sdetweil thanks yes I think that’s what I’ll do but I can’t even get a virtual keyboard working (have tried onboard and another-the name has slipped my mind) -they either don’t pop up or are too big etc. It’s not that I thought it would be easy but I did think I’d at least get it partly done by now 🤪

@tjat
Hi,

I think your project is amazing! Maybe it’s a bit silly of me to ask, but would you be willing to share your project with us? Specifically, the

• onfig.js

• custom.css

and maybe your modules.
I (and probably others as well) would love to use your project but might not have such great ideas ourselves.

If you’re kind enough to share it, please make sure to remove any personal data.

Thanks a lot for your awesome work!

Best regards,

[sdetweil]

@jalow

Hi, I would also like to know what files you modified and how you did so to be able to modify/delete events. I am having the same problem you were where the eventId is ‘undefined’ in the CX3 module. Any help would be appreciated, thank!
