birthdaylist - discontinued ?

[sdetweil]

@rkorell nvm i see it… let me look at it

[sdetweil]

@rkorell I don’t see the error… can you show me the bdlist config

also, that line of code would only happen is there WAS a birthday to display
and your list doesn’t have one for tomorrow or later (in this month)
are for next month…

still don’t see the error…
my code strips off the extra leading space on the name field.

@sdetweil indeed - should have done this at the begin, sorry:

// Geburtstagsliste 
// Gelesen wird: ~/MagicMirror/modules/birthdaylist/data/bdl.csv

		{ 
	        
	        module: "birthdaylist",
	        disabled: false,
	        position:'top_right',  
	        config: {
						dimmEntries: false,  // true: dims entries and the associated symbol when the date has expired. false: dont display entries and the associated symbol when the date has expired.
						initialLoadDelay: 0, // How many seconds to wait on a fresh start up.
						updateDelay: 5,      // How many seconds after midnight before a refresh
						currentMonthOnly: false,  // will show birthdays for the current month only if true
						maxEntries: 3,	     // maximum entries to show, default is all
						dateFormat: '',	     // date format for birthday (default is none), could be 'Do' for 'Sep 12th'
						ageFormat:'',	     // some format string for the persons age, '[ n ]'  n will be replace by age value
						withMonth: true ,    // then true, add the month display as part of the date field, 
						debug:true,
	                }
		},

warmest regards,

Stefan, Jürgen and Chrizzy are shown - which is correct, as far as I understand the parameters.

[sdetweil]

@rkorell correct, same as what i see. no fault tho

the init message appears to be an MagicMirror bug
i opened https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/issues/3708

[rkorell]

@sdetweil OK; thanks.
this is regarding the init error.
Yesterday night birthdaylist disappeared again.
And my initial finding is at least reproducable:
Birthdaylist disappears from physical screen (connected via HDMI) and from VNC remote session.
BUT: In webbrowser it disappears NOT:

If I do a reload in Webbrowser - instantly the birthdaylist appears on screen as well as in VNC session.

console log shows:
birthdaylist received a system notification: MODULE_DOM_UPDATED

I had assumed that I can find all of the console logs in the logfiles in $HOME/.pm2/logs but this is not true.

Any idea regarding this discrepancy?

Thanks again a LOT for your kind and great support!
Warmest regards,
Ralf

(sorry for the rubbish Browser - rendering but I’m not able (or too stupid) to scale this correctly)

[sdetweil]

@rkorell ok, that message comes in response to a module updating its content. but I see a bug in my code i cant get to today

to work around it add another config parm for the module

debugging:true,

you will get additional messages during setup and nightly refresh (5 seconds after midnight by default)

maybe its not a bug, but a document error

[rkorell]

@sdetweil OK; cool.“workaround” is OK for me :-)

so

debug: true,

AND
debugging:true,

both in your module?

Again: Thanks a LOT.
Ralf

[sdetweil]

@rkorell yes, both

[rkorell]

@sdetweil OK, thanks.
Have done.
