MMM-Page-Selector: A page switcher that can set positions of modules

[Smotx]

Hi,

Anyone have real exemple to use this ?

[robiv8]

a example of the config from Veldrovive want be nice

[robiv8]

Good news for al beginers :-)
Veldrovive has published an config example on his github page.
Look there under issues.

[Peter_Froberg]

I can’t get this to work on my mirrror.
I don’t know what can be missing.
I have installed both MMM-Page-Selector and MMM-page-indicator. The Indicator shows up nice and easy, but I have create 3 pages and it only shows 2 and when I click one of the circles from MMM-Page-indicator it does not switch page.

I have tried to use MMM-Pages and there it works just fine.

My config is for MMM-Page_selector is:

{
			module: "MMM-Page-Selector",
			position: "top_bar",
			config: {
				defaultPage: "domoticz",
				displayTitle: true,
				 selectPageNotif: ["SELECT_PAGE"],
				 incrementPageNotif: ["PAGE_UP"],
				 decrementPageNotif: ["PAGE_DOWN"]
			}
		},

and my config for MMM-page-indicator is:

{
        module: "MMM-page-indicator",
        position: "bottom_bar",
        pages: "all",
		config: {
			 pages: 3,
                 }
    }

I have tried with and without pages:3 in the MMM-page-indicator config

Greatful for some guidens

[Veldrovive]

Sorry for taking a bit to get back to you.
You shouldn’t need to put the pages: 3 in the Page Indicator config as that should be handled automatically.
In order to get at the root of the problem, I would need to have the configs for you other modules since all pages are implicitly declared to exist inside the pages object of your modules.
For example:

{
    module: "MMM-a-module",
    position: "bottom_center", 
    pages: {"pageOne": "top_center", "pageTwo": "bottom_left"},
    config: {}
},

is defining two pages with the names pageOne and pageTwo and then saying that this module will appear at the top_center and bottom_left positions on those two pages respectively.
I am assuming that something went wrong with the pages objects which is causing some problems.
If you post those I will probably be able to figure out the problem.

[robiv8]

Hello Veldrovive,
I also have a hard time with the config. But am still on the build.
The implementation is very complicated with many modules the overview is lost. All lines must also be marked with “” signs.

But that’s just the way with the codes :-)

What would be great if you had a main config and for each additional page its own config which is then read out.
Would make the whole course very clear.
Even more if you did not need to provide the entire modules and each line with extra signs.

That’s just wishful thinking, of course. ;-)

Nevertheless! A great module
Thank you

[Veldrovive]

Hey Robiv8,
First, I will address a couple of things.

All lines must also be marked with “” signs:
To be clear, it is not necessary to put quotes around page names or props. For example:
"pages": {"main": "top_right", "fun": "top_left"} is exactly the same as
pages: {main: "top_right", fun: "top_left"}
I just believe that it is more clear for everything to be specified as strings.

Even more if you did not need to provide the entire modules and each line with extra signs:
Could you elaborate a little bit about what this means? What do you mean when you say each line with extra signs?

What would be great if you had a main config and for each additional page its own config which is then read out:

I’m still very much open to developing this further and possibly adding more ways to create pages.
I think I get the idea that when you have many modules it can be hard to keep track of what modules have been put on what pages and where, but I am unclear on what exactly you are suggesting.

One idea that I had during development was to have a pages section in the config.js like this:

address: "localhost",
port: 8081,
ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],
modules: [
    ...
],
pages: {
    "main": {
        "calendar": "top_left",
        "MMM-Bob-Ross": "bottom_left",
        "clock": "top_right",
        "weatherforecast": "bottom_right",
        "newsfeed": "bottom_center"
    },
    "fun": {
        "clock": "top_left",
        "MMM-Lunartic": "bottom_right",
        "MMM-Astronauts": "bottom_left",
        "MMM-Reddit": "top_right"
    }
}

In order to condense the page config down when there are just too many modules to handle. Something like this would be very easy to implement.
Is this along the lines of what you were suggesting?

[robiv8]

Yes that would be a great help and clearly arranged. Good idea!

What I meant by extra commas is:
Example Normal:

{
module: "currentweather",
position: "top_right",
config: {
long: "de",
location: "Beinstein",
locationID: "3220785",
appid: "08541acd123xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}

For the MMM Page Selector:

{
"module": "weatherforecast",
"position": "bottom_center",
"pages": {"main": "bottom_right"},
"config": {
"locationID": "REMOVED",
"appid": "REMOVED"
}
},

So I have to use the extra commas for all modules and each line.
Example: “module”: “text” instead of module: “text”

And that with over 200 lines of text, woe if you are even wrong at one ;-)

And please do not consider this as a criticism, only as a small piece of thought if it is not easier solvable.

Robert

[robiv8]

Here my current config that I’m building, works quite well.
These I will now equip with more modules and expand to up to 5 pages. But I need a lot of time because I have to check each module if all commons are set correctly.

[Veldrovive]

It shouldn’t be necessary to have quotes around everything. Does it error when you just use this?

{
    module: “weatherforecast”,
    position: “bottom_center”,
    pages: {main: “bottom_right”},
    config: {
        locationID: “REMOVED”,
        appid: “REMOVED”
    }
},

Also, I have implemented the method for setting up pages as I described above alongside the other method. The readme will be updated with full instructions on how it works. I will commit the changes to the repository soon.

[Veldrovive]

Ok, the new commit includes the changes. Just git pull and then the new method should be available.

[robiv8]

thanks for your support
I will implement it this week and report here.

I just made a quick attempt with the first one of your code.
I’m slowly approaching the goal ;-).
I still have questions.

The first page looks good, but on the second page, the modules are shown above the other instead of 2 left 2 right.
main:

second:

This is how the modules (train schedule) should look like:

[Veldrovive]

I copied your config and it actually allowed me to catch a couple of bugs that I will be working to fix over the next few days. The main one that you are having trouble with stems from the fact that multiple modules with the same name are being used. I don’t know why I didn’t think about that during development, but it causes problems now. I’m going to fix that up and I’ll post again when it’s done. It’s a bit of a large change, however, so it probably won’t be done for at least 24 hours.

[robiv8]

Hey, just no hectic and stress.
Then I’m just the beta tester ;-)

What long matures will be good.
Thank you

[Veldrovive]

Ok, changes have been made and now the module is much more resilient.
The second method for setting up pages has become pretty powerful now, but that came with it becoming more complicated. I would suggest reading the readme section carefully before trying to implement it.
If you have any question, I am more than happy to clarify and edit the readme.

[robiv8]

Wow, that was fast.
Will it morning look at rest, and test.
But what I read so far looks like this for me:
First list all the modules as before.
Below that, under “pages:” and the page names, insert the module names with location.

And I have to give the modules a name (name:) which is then used in pages: for the position.

So roughly right?

Oh! One question:
How implement more then 1 module in exclusion?

exclusion: [
{
"module": "MMM-Cursor"
},
{
"MMM-page-indicator",
    position: "bottom_center"
}
]

[Veldrovive]

So the exclusions array takes a list of selectors. Those selectors could be the name of a module (Like MMM-Cursor) or they could be the prop name. Here’s some sample code:
This is the inside the module array:

{
    module: "MMM-page-indicator",
    name: "noHide",
    position: "bottom_center"
},

And then this is the exclusions:

[
    "noHide",
]

This one works because the name noHide is a selector.

You could also just use the name of the module:

[
    "MMM-Cursor",
]

because it is also just a selector.

The pages config also works off of selectors in the same way. noHide is a selector that you assign with the name prop while MMM-page-indicator is a selector that is assigned via the fact that it is the name of the module.

[Peter_Froberg]

@veldrovive Thanks, for the reply. I finnaly did find the problem. It was as always a typo from my side. I have now konverted the config to the “second” config option which I like better as I can gather all the pages config in one section.
Thanks for a greate module :)

[Veldrovive]

Ah good. I’m glad that the changes I’m making are improving the module.
Thank you for the kind words.
