Not at the moment but I hope you enjoy the module in its current state. Peace!

Mykle,

I want to display a tabular report of workshops on the mirror (static, no scrolling)

like this:

image - date - description
image - date - description
etc

Can that be done with the MMM-events module ?
Can i take the event from a webserver or local file ?

Help appreciated!

Thanx!
Poekel

Is there a way to keep the header from fading in and out when the event changes?

I think I was asleep when you first asked this question.

You can set the animationSpeed: in your config to 0

That should eliminate the fade altogether (for the entire module), not just the header

That probably depends on the data format. If it’s .ics then it would work in your calendar module. If it’s json, or maybe xml, then it might be usable, but even then much modification would have to be done to the module. As it is, you couldn’t just pop it in and have it display as you described it above

I have an issue with this module on my mirror, it just shows “upcoming events…” on the screen but nothing else.

Here’s my code, I’ve changed my API key so it’s not publicly shared.

Am I doing something wrong?

    module: 'MMM-Events',
    position: 'bottom_left',
    config: {
        city: "Pittsburgh, PA",            // Your City
        eventType: "music_country",
//      eventType: "sports",
//      eventType: "food",
//      eventType: "comedy",               // Choose from Events List below
        when: "This Week",                 // "All", "Future", "Past", "Today", "Last Week", "This Week", "Next week", and months by name, e.g. "October"
        mode: "noFrame",                   // "Frame" or "noFrame" (around picture)
        apikey: "QbpDjd6SXXXXXXXX",
        rotateInterval: "6000",     // New Event Appears every 5 minutes
        useHeader: "True",                 // Set to true if you want a header
        header: "Upcoming Events",
        animationSpeed: "3000",              // Event fades in and out
        picture: "false"                     // true, false = no image

useHeader: true, (no quotes, no capital T)

rotateInterval: "6000", is only 6 seconds. You might want to raise this

Otherwise, it works for me with my API key and corrections:

{
		module: 'MMM-Events',
		position: 'bottom_left',
		config: {
			city: "Pittsburgh, PA",            // Your City
			eventType: "music_country",
	//      eventType: "sports",
	//      eventType: "food",
	//      eventType: "comedy",               // Choose from Events List below
			when: "This Week",                 // "All", "Future", "Past", "Today", "Last Week", "This Week", "Next week", and months by name, e.g. "October"
			mode: "noFrame",                   // "Frame" or "noFrame" (around picture)
			apikey: "YOUR API KEY",
			rotateInterval: "20000",     // New Event Appears every 5 minutes
			useHeader: true,                 // Set to true if you want a header
			header: "Upcoming Events",
			animationSpeed: "3000",              // Event fades in and out
			picture: "false"                     // true, false = no image
		}
		},

@Mykle1 Thanks, I changed my code to yours but I’m still not getting anything… is there anything else I can do to debug?

You can post any errors from your teminal or console (from Dev Tools) so we can see what is going on there. You can see that it works for me using your config that I corrected. Are you absolutely sure that your API key is correct and entered correctly within the config entry?

stephenmelody

@Mykle1 100% sure the API key is correct… I’m not sure about how to access the dev tools, pardon my naivety.

I could give you access to the device if you’d have a couple of minutes to look?

stephenmelody

Scrap my messages… it started working after a reboot…

However, is it possible to have multiple categories?

does this:

eventType: "music_country",
eventType: "sports",
eventType: "food",
eventType: "comedy",

or this:

eventType: ["music_country", "sports", "food", "comedy"]

work?

I just tried it, an array works well!!

That’s good news! I’m glad it’s working for you. It happens to be one of my favorite modules. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful, too.

albertlwj

is there anyway for it to show more than 1 event at a time?

As it is, no. It was designed to loop through the events so as to minimize the space it occupies on the mirror. I don’t have any plans to modify it from it’s current state but feel free to modify it yourself. If you make that an option then you can send a PR to the repo and I’ll add it to the module.

In any case, thanks for your interest and I hope you enjoy the module.

Peace.

albertlwj

alright thanks! i’ll see if i manage to tweak it :D

it’s a great module thanks for all the work!

Mykle1

As per @E3V3A @thiagofneves

You can choose multiple eventTypes at the same time using this format:

"music_electronic,music_jazz,music_vocal,music_rap_hiphop"

I do believe that is posted somewhere above. :-)

README file updated on git.

Thanks for the heads up guys. :-)

I would love the ability to add a layout, like 2 events sidexside. Is this possible?

I’d like to also create another profile that just shows a list of events for the next 30 days or so. Can this be done?

Thank you,

Mykle1

I’m sure those things can be achieved although I don’t envision the module that way. Please feel free to fork the module and make any changes you like and submit a PR. Have fun.

Would it be possible to only display events for a particular venue?

Perhaps but I’m a bit busy with other things at the moment. Feel free to fork the module and make any changes you like. :thumbsup:
