MMM-DumpsterDay

[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 apologies foe formatting above!

@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.

Re: MMM-DumpsterDay

I am having problems getting the bins to show correctly. I have three different bin collections

Rubbish(basic) collected fortnightly on thursdays next collection due 21st November
Recycling(plastic) collected fortnightly on thursdays next collection due 14th November
Composting(landscape) collected fortnightly on Mondays next collection due 25th November

The icon for the plastic collection is displayed as expected but the landscaping icon is also showing today(14th) even though it is not due until the 25th. Any ideas what the issue is?

This is the config file I am using
{module:“MMM-DumpsterDay”,
position:“lower_third”,

		config: {
			refreshInterval: 18000000, // Default: 18000000 = 5 hours
			pulse: true, 			   // Default: true - Makes the module pulsating
		
		enableBasic: true, 				// Enable basic trashcan 
			basicStartDate: "24.10.2019", 	// The first dumpster day (Always use 2 digit dates (01 instead of 1))
			basicDateDiff_1: 14,			// 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: "31.10.2019", 
			plasticDateDiff_1: 14,
			plasticNotifyDayBefore: true,	

		enableLandscape: true,			// Same values as basic but for Landscape
			landscapeStartDate: "14.10.2019",
			landscapeDateDiff_1: 14,		
			landscapeNotifyDayBefore: true,
		
		}
		},

I think I have found the issue for me.
in MMM-DumpsterDay.js the if statement

	if (enableLandscape == true){
	landscapeTrashDayResult = this.isPlasticTrashDay();
	Log.info("landscapeTrashDayResult: "+landscapeTrashDayResult);
	var landscapeDiv = document.createElement("div");
	landscapeDiv.className = "landscapeDiv";
	wrapper.appendChild(landscapeDiv);
		if (landscapeTrashDayResult == 0){
		landscapeDiv.classList.add("non_today")
		}

line 83 should read

landscapeTrashDayResult = this.isLandscapeTrashDay();

This seems to fix my issue.

@Doughboy99
Good catch. Seems logical that the statement should pertain to Landscape because of what precedes it.

I made the change to my MMM-DumpsterDay.js . You can report the issue via github and the author @DeanoNoire can add the changes.

Here is the link to report github MMM-DumpsterDay Issues
