Great Success!

Its Awesome that its just a csv file that I can edit to match my recycle / trash in my city…
I have wanted this for a while now!

@onetwankyfive glad to hear you got it working!

You know, you make an interesting point about it just being a CSV… how difficult did you find it to modify for your schedule? Maybe I’ll write a tutorial in the Readme for anyone who wants to do this.

It was pretty easy… Just imported into google sheets and Download as a CSV in google sheets… It automatically put everything in the correct fields. You could prob make a template in google sheets that people could make copy of and then edit and export. Thanks again!

I just moved to Toronto so I am trying out this module and so far it works great except one kink. The icons are never on the right hand side of the module so they always overlap the text on the left hand side. I’ve checked everything I can think of (made sure the module has plenty of space, checked the code, reinstalled, etc) but I still cant get it to properly fill its container. Has anyone run into this before?

@SexyTrogg hey can you post your config? I’ll try it out. I suspect I might know what’s going on.

@SexyTrogg Try doing a git pull in the MMM-MyWastePickup directory. I think I fixed your problem. Let me know if it works.

[SexyTrogg]

@j.e.f.f Sorry for the delay. My config is just the simple:

{
  module: 'MMM-MyWastePickup',
  position: 'top_left',
  header: 'My Waste Collection',
  config: {
    collectionCalendar: 'Tuesday2'
  }
},

I’ll do a pull once I get back home and let you know if it works. Thanks for looking at this!

@J.e.f.f: Can you explain, how to add more than one day the calender is then displaying? If i understand your module correctly, when adding a collectionCalender (lets say “Tuesday2”) - only the dates from Tuesday2 (from the CSV file) are displayed. Right?
My waste is collected on three different days a week. Is this possible to configure with your addon?

[j.e.f.f]

@Medo The module doesn’t support multiple days in the config. However you can get what you want by configuring multiple instances of the module, one for each collection day that you need.

@j.e.f.f
Thanks for your answer. Yes, i already tried two instances but i wasnt satisfied with the overall look of it at the end.
Still a great module - but just not for my needs.
