MMM-ImagesPhotos - Show images from a directory

[sdetweil]

@chassain-0 ImagesPhotos already does random all the time.

	randomPhoto: function() {
		var photos = this.photos;
		var index = this.randomIndex(photos);

		return photos[index];
	},


	getDom: function() {
		var self = this;
		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
		var photoImage = this.randomPhoto();

I don’t know if this works but

	randomIndex: function(photos) {
		if (photos.length === 1) {
			return 0;
		}

		var generate = function() {
			return Math.floor(Math.random() * photos.length);
		};

		var photoIndex = generate();
		this.lastPhotoIndex = photoIndex;

		return photoIndex;
	},

try to change return Math.floor(Math.random() * photos.length); to return Math.floor(photos.length);

However it’s Just a guess

[sdetweil]

@broberg no. it needs more… need to USE the this.lastPhotoIndex, and check for over the end of the list,
and reset the index when new list is loaded (even tho you didn’t get thru the list, as the module refreshes on a fixed time schedule (not calculated from number of images found)… I would add another config parm

I have a fork of this module already, but have many local changes, so cannot make another.

Hello,

I found this module : https://github.com/AdamMoses-GitHub/MMM-ImageSlideshow

Maybe a solution. I m going to test this night

[KamiSchami]

I would like to install it twice. If I just copy the folder and rename it, it won’t work anymore. Can somebody help me?

[sdetweil]

u can try mine too
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-ImagesPhotos

to make images from a server the module/uploads folder needs to be replaced by a linked (ln command) to the server share folder

ln -s server_share uploads

I am very picky about how my images are displayed, no distortion allowed…
I also support color or blurred image fill where the image does not cover the full screen

[KamiSchami]

ok, it has the same name. can I rename the module for myself, the folder?
