Calendar can switch on notifications

[Edohvin]

Hello!

I have a face recognition module installed. Whenever a person stands in front of the mirror, the module sends out a ‘this.sendNotification(“USERS_LOGIN”, user)’.
After this notification, I would like the calendar module to display this certain user’s calendar.
Can anyone help with this?

I would start of with the following added to the calendar module:

notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) {
		var self = this;
		switch (notification)
		{
		      case "USERS_LOGIN":
		      {	
                     // Put the appropriate calendar on the screen		
		      }
		      case "USERS_LOGOUT_MODULES":
		      {
                      //Show the default calendar again
		      }
		 }		
},

@Edohvin u would create multiple calendar modules, one for each user, give it a class, and use that to show/hide by user

@sdetweil Yes, I was thinking the same thing. I can implement this very easily, but then I would have to run 30 calendar modules at the same time. (29 would just be hidden, and one would actually show). Won’t that slow things down?

Possibly, but that is how the face reco, page, etc module’s work. Mm runs modules at startup. They can be hidden.
But you can’t add a new one on demand.

30 might be more than a pi can handle
