MMM-DumpsterDay

[DeanoNoire]

@BD0G Exactly: 24 = DD, 10=MM, 2019=YYYY, so 24.10.2019 is DD.MM.YYYY, an European standard format :)
What I quoted from your post: 11.13.2019 is not applicable as there is no 13th month :)

var startDateYear = startDate.substring(6,10);
var startDateMonth = startDate.substring(3,5);
var startDateDay = startDate.substring(0,2);

That’s the exact code that cuts the date to year, month and day variables, so day is the first two numbers, month are another two numbers and year are last four numbers :)

@DeanoNoire Ahh , thats what is causing the issue.
US Format is Month:Day:Year and not
the European Standard Day:Month:Year.

@BD0G
i thought i had it working but no,all the icons show up ok but i can’t get them showing on the correct days,either all or basic.
what did you change on the date?both entries look the same to me,also,did you leave the entry at false?does it still show on the expected day?

[BD0G]

I set up my config.js to todays date (for testing) so that I could see the trash can icons show up. The format that one needs to use is Day.Month.Year on the
basicStartDate:
plasticStartDate:
landscapeStartDate:
lines

Here is my config.js which does display the cans as it should.

		{
	module:"MMM-DumpsterDay",
	position:"bottom_bar",
	config: {
		refreshInterval: 18000000, // Default: 18000000 = 5 hours
		pulse: true, 			   // Default: true - Makes the module pulsating

		enableBasic: true, 				// Enable basic trashcan 
		basicStartDate: "11.11.2019", 	// The first dumpster day (Always use 2 digit dates (01 instead of 1))
		basicDateDiff_1: 7,			// Trashday reoccurance - Default: 14 (every 14 days)
		basicNotifyDayBefore: true,		//Default: true - If you want the notification to appear also the day before the dumpster day
		
		enablePlastic: false,			// Same values as basic but for Plastic
		plasticStartDate: "11.11.2019", 
		plasticDateDiff_1: 28,
		plasticNotifyDayBefore: true,	

		enableLandscape: true,			// Same values as basic but for Landscape
		landscapeStartDate: "11.11.2019",
		landscapeDateDiff_1: 14,		
		landscapeNotifyDayBefore: true,
		}		
		},

When I change the dates to the 13th of this month then the trash cans are not shown as they should not be shown until the day BEFORE trash day and the DAY of trash day. Which would be tomorrow and the day after.

@BD0G
and you leave enableplastic set to false?and it still shows up on the weeks it should?

[mrdenmark]

if i use this config all bins show-

{
	module:"MMM-DumpsterDay",
	position:"top_left",
	config: {
		refreshInterval: 18000000, // Default: 18000000 = 5 hours
		pulse: false, 			   // Default: true - Makes the module pulsating

		enableBasic: true, 				// Enable basic trashcan 
		basicStartDate: "12.11.2019", 	// The first dumpster day (Always use 2 digit dates (01 instead of 1))
		basicDateDiff_2: 7,			// Trashday reoccurance - Default: 14 (every 14 days)
		basicNotifyDayBefore: true,		//Default: true - If you want the notification to appear also the day before the dumpster day
		
		enablePlastic: true,			// Same values as basic but for Plastic
		plasticStartDate: "12.11.2019", 
		plasticDateDiff_2: 14,
		plasticNotifyDayBefore: true,	

		enableLandscape: true,			// Same values as basic but for Landscape
		landscapeStartDate: "12.11.2019",
		landscapeDateDiff_2: 14,		
		landscapeNotifyDayBefore: true,
		}		
		},

if i use this then 2 bins show-

{
	module:"MMM-DumpsterDay",
	position:"top_left",
	config: {
		refreshInterval: 18000000, // Default: 18000000 = 5 hours
		pulse: false, 			   // Default: true - Makes the module pulsating

		enableBasic: true, 				// Enable basic trashcan 
		basicStartDate: "12.11.2019", 	// The first dumpster day (Always use 2 digit dates (01 instead of 1))
		basicDateDiff_2: 7,			// Trashday reoccurance - Default: 14 (every 14 days)
		basicNotifyDayBefore: true,		//Default: true - If you want the notification to appear also the day before the dumpster day
		
		enablePlastic: false,			// Same values as basic but for Plastic
		plasticStartDate: "12.11.2019", 
		plasticDateDiff_2: 14,
		plasticNotifyDayBefore: true,	

		enableLandscape: true,			// Same values as basic but for Landscape
		landscapeStartDate: "12.11.2019",
		landscapeDateDiff_2: 14,		
		landscapeNotifyDayBefore: true,
		}		
		},

but if i change it to either of these then only the basic shows up -

enablePlastic: true,			// Same values as basic but for Plastic
		plasticStartDate: "18.11.2019",

or

enablePlastic: false,			// Same values as basic but for Plastic
		plasticStartDate: "18.11.2019",code_text

maybe i’m misunderstanding but it seems the second last one is the one i require.

for reference my red get picked up every monday and the other 2 alternate every 2 weeks,again on monday

[mrdenmark]

@mrdenmark apologies foe formatting above!

[DeanoNoire]

@mrdenmark if you set the date to 18.11.2019 and the occurance is every 14 days then it’s correct :)
If the enable value is true - the image is not visible as it’s not a trashcan day.
If the enable value is false - the part of the module is disabled and is not evaluated at all. Also I recommend to use start dates from the past, not future :)

Since the Red Can graphic was added to the github repository my MagicMirror update-notification module indicates an update is needed to the MMM-DumpsterDay module. This made me think that it would be good to add the update process to the github repository instructions.

I just did a
git fetch and then a
git pull

from within the MagicMirror/modules/MMM-DumpsterDay sub directory and that updated the module.
