Hello! New user here, love the UI (especially the admin features!) I’m building a secret Christmas gift for my wife (who is obsessed with organization). I was about to give up on MM - until I found your module!
Question: I see daily, weekly, monthly options - is there a feature to set reoccurring events that are Monday Friday? This is specific to kids who may have daily ‘weekday’ tasks to do that aren’t required on Saturday or Sunday. I’m happy to skip the UI - aka, create an event in the UI and then tweak the underlying config via CLI.
Thank you!!!

EDIT:took a gander at your code (yeah, you are a pro - this is REALLY CLEAN (I’m a hack, but I know good work when I see it lol). Looks like an update to the getNextDate function, adding the pattern to the admin html file and the lang pack (I only added it to the enlish one (remember, hack here) seems to work pretty well. I’ll search a bit further and do a little testing to see how it behaves - but… a thing?
E
function getNextDate(dateStr, recurring) { const d = new Date(dateStr); if (recurring === "daily") { d.setDate(d.getDate() + 1); } else if (recurring === "weekly") { d.setDate(d.getDate() + 7); } else if (recurring === "monthly") { d.setMonth(d.getMonth() + 1); } else if (recurring === "yearly") { d.setFullYear(d.getFullYear() + 1); } else if (recurring && recurring.startsWith("every_")) { // Custom recurring patterns: every_X_days, every_X_weeks, first_monday_month const parts = recurring.split("_"); if (parts[1] === "X" && parts[2] === "days") { const days = parseInt(parts[3]) || 2; d.setDate(d.getDate() + days); } else if (parts[1] === "X" && parts[2] === "weeks") { const weeks = parseInt(parts[3]) || 2; d.setDate(d.getDate() + (weeks * 7)); } else if (recurring === "first_monday_month") { // First Monday of next month d.setMonth(d.getMonth() + 1); d.setDate(1); // Find first Monday while (d.getDay() !== 1) { d.setDate(d.getDate() + 1); } } else { return null; } } else { return null; } return d.toISOString().slice(0, 10); }

@ewingfox please always code block for code, config and logs
paste the text into the message editor window, blank line above and below
select the text just pasted
hit the </> button on the message editor toolbarI fixed prior

@sdetweil - Thanks! I’m a total hack, so I appreciate the heads up. MUCH CLEANER. I’m not used to passing code blocks in chats, usually I’m in an SCM somewhere, causing trouble… giving my devs a headache… :D
-
I’ve done a lot of testing and submitted PR-220 . It turns out there are some really complicated date functions that worked—unless they didn’t (edge cases with creating a weekday only task, setting start date on a Weekend, etc).
else if (recurring === "daily-weekdays") { // We ignore the d.setDate(+1) and just find the next valid weekday from today let testDate = new Date(); testDate.setDate(testDate.getDate() + 1); while (testDate.getDay() === 0 || testDate.getDay() === 6) { testDate.setDate(testDate.getDate() + 1); } // Force 'd' to be this specific date, bypassing module interference d.setTime(testDate.getTime()); } else if (recurring === "daily-weekends") { let testDate = new Date(); testDate.setDate(testDate.getDate() + 1); while (testDate.getDay() >= 1 && testDate.getDay() <= 5) { testDate.setDate(testDate.getDate() + 1); } d.setTime(testDate.getTime());
The logic is working (finally)- I wish I was better at this stuff, I’m a DevOps guy, so I’m lazy and not particularly talented at coding unless I can break thousands of servers with automation (then I’m a pro lol).
I also went through and added the requisite language support for the 10 supported languages for the two new elements included in admin.html
<div class="col-sm-auto"> <select id="taskRecurring" class="form-select"> <option value="">One time</option> <option value="daily">Daily</option> <option value="weekly">Weekly</option> <option value="daily-weekdays">Daily (Weekdays Only)</option> <option value="daily-weekends">Daily (Weekends Only)</option> <option value="monthly">Monthly</option> <option value="yearly">Yearly</option> <option value="every_X_days_2">Every 2 Days</option> <option value="every_X_days_3">Every 3 Days</option> <option value="every_X_weeks_2">Every 2 Weeks</option> <option value="every_X_weeks_3">Every 3 Weeks</option> <option value="first_monday_month">First Monday of Month</option> </select> </div>I’m testing a few .css changes to improve touchscreen support - you can see plenty of other .css issues I’ll nave to sort out, sreenshots from chrome of the MM page shows it’s not adjusting well to different browsers…
I also put together a mini-module to provide a placard showing the options in the ‘reward store’ - My kid is super goal oriented, so being able to take advantage of @pierregode 's awesome reward system is going to be a big win!
I’m going to look further into making this interactive and set up some kind of email to us to indicate she’s redeemed her coins on a particular reward.
The current MMM-ChoreRewards is super crude and rude - you can see plenty of other .css issues I’ll have to sort out. @sdetweil hopefully I’ve formatted this post better - thank you for the #mod help!

@pierregode
I’m using dateFormatting: “” in my config, but I stil got the date on the dashboard. Do I somethine wrong?{ module: "MMM-Chores", position: "top_left", header: "Takenlijst", config: { updateInterval: 60 * 1000, adminPort: 5003, showDays: 365, showPast: true, dateFormatting: "", } },
(still trying to learn JS, but not afraid to ask and AI is my best friend) ☺
-
@htilburgs try
dateFormatting:null

@htilburgs
You can set it in the web in config page > Display Settings > Date format > Unassigned > Save -
@PierreGode said in MMM-Chores - Manage and keep track of your household Chores:
@htilburgs
You can set it in the web in config page > Display Settings > Date format > Unassigned > SaveI’m sorry for this late reaction. I’ll try this tomorrow (monday) when I have access to my mirror. Currently not at home. I let you Guys know the results.

@PierreGode
Tested and works. Thanks! -
Hey all-- I’m trying to get MMM-Chores working, but no matter what I do, the module shows up in the mirror as “No tasks to show (emoji).” I have populated the list with tasks, and confirmed that they appear in the data.json file. And I can reach the admin panel for Chores, so I know the server is running. Relevant codeblock from config.js:
{ module: "MMM-Chores", position: "bottom_left", classes: "overview", header: "Chores", config: { updateInterval: 60 * 1000, adminPort: 5003, settings: "unlocked", dateFormatting: "", login: false, users: [{ username: "dad", password: "", permission: "read" }], } }I’m sure it’s something simple, so I appreciate your help! TIA.

@jtillinghast
What does the command pm2 logs give you? -
@PierreGode And of course, today it works for seemingly no other reason. I don’t believe I have touched anything in the module or the config since it wasn’t working, but now it looks good! I will continue to monitor. Thanks.
-
Question: Is it possible to set the config in some way to only show chores for one person? I’m using MMM-Pages to give each kid their own dashboard, for example, and I’m wondering if the page could just show the chores for that one person.
-
@jtillinghast and then you need multiple instances in config.js
-
@sdetweil Sure-- I have the multiple instances, but I’m just not sure what to put into the config to filter each instance down.
-
@jtillinghast ok, takes a little extra coding for multiple instances. Just making sure that is handled too
-
@sdetweil Can you say more about the extra coding? I created multiple instances, and assigned them to the unique pages via the class. Is there more unique configuration that needs to get handled?
-
@jtillinghast it’s inside the module, nothing you can do.
Currently the module does not do this extraThe module with a node helper sends a request to the helper
The helper gets done and sends the response backBut, the method we use which is fast and flexible,
goes to ALL the same modules at once
So read chore list, send back, all instances get the One listMagicMirror provides a unique identifier for each module entry in config.js . The trick is to send that identifier with the request
And the helper sends it back with the data AND The modules checks to see if the identifier in the response matches its identifier.
If not just ignore it. -
@sdetweil Thanks-- I just want to be sure I’m understanding you correctly. You’re saying that it is not possible to filter the to-do list by individual person as the module is currently constructed. To do so, we would have to add a function which would be able to take in the person parameter from config and filter the data accordingly. If I’m following, that could be done in the module since it’s already performing a check to see if the information matches, but that would require further development.
Am I on track?
