MMM-Parcel

Great module! Are the names of the packages customizable too?

[martinkooij]

@goprojojo Thanks! But also thanks to Aftership.com for providing the API.

The parcel names (titles in aftership-speak) are customizable via the aftership app, or via the aftership.com website (login -> trackings). Just select the shipment, click edit and enter your own title in the title field. This name will then appear on the mirror-screen. Let me know if that helps and answers your question.

@modderhut . Thanks for your comment and compliments! For now you can set maxWidth: "350px" in the module config parameters or whatever pixwidth works for you. Sorry, this was an undocumented feature ;).

Your feedback also prompted me to consider the behavior of the module in a “narrow” space. I will soon release a functional enhancement for this module in order to autoadapt the module display to a narrow(er) space, maintaining effectiveness and the “look and feel”.

This is a great module, but whenever I change the compactness to anything other than 1, it fails to load. I really want 2 for “very compact”, but it just displays this:

@twosquirrels Thank you for liking the module, and this clearly seems a bug that I haven’t seen yet, and can’t reproduce at home here. Sorry. I have dropped you a PM with my contact info, if you would be willing to help me debugging your situation.

This wound up being due to my own impatience. I did get “undefined” after restarting magic mirror, but if I waited a few minutes, it would appear in the desired format. Perhaps the API call wasn’t being performed yet. I was just tinkering too much to wait. Thanks again for making this module!

To the users: thanks for your compliments. Your comments inspire me to add new functionality. Today (2018-03-30): a layout that caters for narrow spaces on the mirror and the possibility to automatically hide delivered packages after a configurable number of days. Have fun and keep on commenting!

Great! But… I seem to have messed up the update, perhaps because I tried to update from the /config folder:

It’s stuck at “Loading Parcel module…” How do I remove MMM-Parcel so that I can put it back correctly?

[martinkooij]

@twosquirrels Basically the most radical way is to remove everything MMM-Parcel from both …/config and from …/modules and make a clean install with clone. I sent you a PM, let me know if it works for you.

I installed the update and used the new module code. It worked, although the “hideDelivered” doesn’t seem to be working. I have it set for “3” and as of April 5, I still have a March 28 delivery showing as delivered.

  hideDelivered: 3, // Hide delivered parcels after 15 days.
