Made a birthday module

@plainbroke you can also use the environment variable to set the config file

export MM_CONFIG_FILE=config/xxxxx.js
npm start
or
npm run server

Both will use that config

export MM_CONFIG_FILE=

To reset it

I got it to work on another pi4 with only 4 mb ram.
On the exact same setup
Bookworm
MM 2.30
fully updated.
It seems it has to be the only module besides some of the default ones.
Which it covers up completely like the MPlayer does…
Good thing I have an extra pi, I guess. The wifey likes it alot…
I thought it would be cool add-on for my main mirror that is in the living room right above the TV. Gives us something to focus on during commercial’s…
Updated your MMM-Config. LOOKING better every update…

@plainbroke if you use my fork of mmm-pages it has the ability to show different pages for different amounts of time

See the pageTimeout property

@sdetweil
I am using your mmm-pages. I just haven’t gotten that involved in it yet…
I know sooner or later I will definitely take advantage of the different amounts of viewable content.

@sdetweil said in Made a birthday module:

@cgillinger the other thing you can do is add support for the

suspend(){}
and resume{}

methods in your modulename.js

suspend means being hidden

resume means being shown

Done, but haven’t tried it with MMM-Pages yet, a bit to busy at work to install and try it that way. But its in the repo now.

Works on the fireworks, but not on the MESSAGE part, It stays on the screen.
The fireworks came and went with the page it was supposed to.

This annoys the hell out of me, if I get the time, I’ll try to set up a MM with MMM-Pages to test it here.

But to be clear:

The fireworks (and confetti?) works
But the message a) doesn’t show or b) shows, but does not get removed when MMM-Pages initiate page change?
