Is it possible to have CSS for normal screens and a custom CSS for 7in screen?

sdetweil

I have config_CLOCK with modules clock, wx, and wx forecast. In this config I told it via disable: width > small ? false:true. On my laptop get all 3. on phone no forecast (which should not be there).

I see 4 things in the list

on phone, no forecast, which is not an error?

i set my newsfeed to

		{
			module: "newsfeed",
			disabled: width>small_screen?false:true,

see on desktop, not on phone, as expected

There’s 3 (wx forecast) is forecast. Not weather AND forecast.

No error because in forecast was disabled because of small screen.
I copied your 2 lines (newsfeed & disabled) and get error when starting it. Complains about my config file…

Any way of letting it load up and do a display:none in the CSS file for small screen?

@Radnor notice my variable names (small_screen) are not the same as yours… (small_size)

Radnor

Initially, I did NOT see the different variable name.

Cannot get the Ternary op to work at all. I copy/paste (and change var name) your code without luck.
A straight “disabled: true” works.

@Radnor its a (if) ? when_true : when_false

show me your code now

Radnor

var small_size = 800;
var width = 0;
try {
width=outerWidth
}
catch(error){
}

var config = …

	{
		module: "newsfeed",

disabled: width < small_size ? true:false,
position: “bottom_bar”,
config: {

I had it WITH and WITHOUT the comma after false. I had parens around the logical test too.

Radnor

Event tried:

if (small_size>width) {
disabled: true,
}

this generates error in config with lots of red text on loading up

@Radnor gotta have the comma after, cause there is more to this module definition… (, comma means more info following this line)

so, u want news feed ON for laptop (disabled:false), OFF for small display (disabled:true)

so, newsfeed has two parts… the node_helper, and the browser part (modulename.js)

so, we WANT the node_helper to load (disabled:false), but don’t know anything about the screen size yet, so it must be ALWAYS disable:false

var small_size = 800;
var width = 801;   // notice 1 larger than expected size of small screen
try {
    width=outerWidth        // get the actual screen width (only works in browser usage)
}
catch(error){                       // this catches the fatal error in node_helper loading
}

config info

{
		module: "newsfeed",
                disabled: width > small_size ?        // on startup, this will be true, so we want disabled:false
                                                      // when the browser on laptop pulls in modulename, this will be true
                                                      //              so disabled: false                  
                                                      false:                    
                                                      // when the small device is used, this will be false (800 is NOT greater than 800)
                                                      // so we want disabled: true 
                                                      true
                                                ,     // more stuff coming on next line
                position: “bottom_bar”,
                config: {             

                }

Thank you.

I’ve had it with and without the ending comma. Your changes, I’ve put in config.js only (node helper???) I did not put it in the modulename.js

sdetweil

@Radnor said in Is it possible to have CSS for normal screens and a custom CSS for 7in screen?:

I did not put it in the modulename.js

you do NOT put it into anything other than config.js,

the system (MM) will load config.js

once for loading node_helpers
once for each browser that connects to MM (including one that is included when npm start is done)
