      @Mr.Meeseeks Apologies for missing this one.

      The schedules are set up after the ALL_MODULES_STARTED or DOM_OBJECTS_CREATED notifications have been received from the core. So a restart should not be required and a refresh of the browser should be sufficient to pick up config changes.

        In retrospect I only wanted to be able to hide a module now and then LOL

        NEVER thought it would turn into such an awesome module!!!

        Thanks @ianperrin !!!

          @cowboysdude @ianperrin how would would I implement a schedule so that a module appeared for 5 minutes, then disappear and reappear in 5 minutes time?

          I’ve tried this

          module_schedule: { */5 * * * * },
          

          2nd edit- I thought I’d got it with this…

          module_schedule: { from: '*/2 * * * *', to: '*/3 * * * *'},

            Yes that should make it run every five minutes…

            Copy and try this without brackets…

            '*/5 * * * *'

            example - schedule: ‘30 9 * * *’,

              Try this

              module_schedule: {from: '0/10 * * * *',  to: '5/10 * * * *'}, 
              

              Which should equate to the module being

              • shown every 10 minutes starting from 0 minutes past the hour, i.e. 0, 10, 20 etc
              • hidden every 10 minutes starting from 5 minutes past the hour, i.e. 5, 15, 25 etc

                  Thank you and no worries.

                  Unfortunately, I’ve just done a quick test with the expressions I posted above and they didn’t work. :(

                  If you check the cron expressions i suggested using crontab.guru, it would appear they are non-standard. Therefore, I suspect they are not supported by the node cron module.

                  Not to worry, there’s always a solution! crontab.org states that step values can be used in conjunction with ranges. So the expressions I believe you require are as follows:

                  module_schedule: {from: '0-59/10 * * * *',  to: '5-59/10 * * * *'},

                      Wow - someone is keen ;)

                      The first iteration of #4 has been committed. Global schedules can now be added to show/hide/dim all modules - see the updated documentation for more info.

                      On the to list is to

                      • add support for showing/hiding/dimming modules in groups
                      • add the ability to exclude specific modules from the global schedules

                      #6 comes afterwards when I can switch my dev environment to the develop branch

                        • one schedule can now be used to hide/show/dim all modules - see global scheduling
                        • one schedule can now be create to hide/show/dim a group of modules - see group schedules

                        To do:

                        • add the ability to exclude specific modules from the global/group schedules
                        • unit and regression tests ;)
