Send existing Notifications from a script

[thetobyde]

@sdetweil thx for the fast answer. I change „this.send…“ to „self.send…“ but did not work sadly… i also changed the payload from 1 to 0, because the notifications from MMM-pages are zero-based. So page 1 is PAGE_CHANGED, 0…

The var self = this is written by the Developer of MMM-SmartTouch

@thetobyde did step thru the code w the developers window source tab?

[sdetweil]

u changed the code here from this. to self.
=> this.sendSocketNotification("SHUTDOWN
and all similar

[thetobyde]

@sdetweil i changed the code in the nodeHelper from this. to self.

@sdetweil

Like this :)

[sdetweil]

@thetobyde and the module code with the buttons?

[thetobyde]

@sdetweil didt change that because it worked for the pre-existing Shutdown and Reboot button from the developer of MMM-smartTouch… isnt it right?

@thetobyde said in Send existing Notifications from a script:

require('child_process').this.sendSocketNotification("PAGE_CHANGED", 1);

well, you are not launching a program to chnage the page, and don’t need to send this down to the node_helper
as he has to send it back up to the module to send the notfication,

just do the sendNotification from the module (note its not sendsocketNotification(to my node helper) , just sendNotification(to other modules)

@thetobyde if you haven’t figured it out yet, have a look at my module https://github.com/lavolp3/MMM-NavigationBar which kind of does what you want. This one is using MMM-pages as well.

ALl that I needed for this to work out is this:

  getDom: function() {
    var container = document.createElement("div");
    container.className = "naviContainer";
    self = this;
    for (var i = 0; i < this.config.sections.length; i++) {
      var buttonDiv = document.createElement("div");
      buttonDiv.className = "naviButton fas fa-"+this.config.sectionIcons[this.config.sections[i]];
      buttonDiv.style.fontSize = this.config.iconSize + "px";
      button.addEventListener("click", function() {
        self.sendNotification("PAGE_CHANGED", i);
      });
      //this.log(buttonDiv.className);
      container.appendChild(buttonDiv);
    }
    return container;
  },

@thetobyde I think you should avoid the node_helper and directly send a broadcast notification via self.sendNotification() to to the MMM-pages module.

      button.addEventListener("click", function() {
        self.sendNotification("PAGE_CHANGED", i);
      });
