Display modules in a carousel

I completely agree, I’ve opened a GitHub issue, but as you can see from the previous conversation, it will take me a while to get around to it. Pull requests welcome :)

Hi, how to install on Mac Book Air (have the mirror installed) just not clued up on the module installs via terminal… many thanks…

[barnabycolby]

Instructions can be found here: https://github.com/barnabycolby/MMM-Carousel

The instructions should work on a Mac. In short, you want to clone the github repository into the modules directory and modify the magic mirror configuration to use the module.

Thanks, tell me can you not just download all the modules and put them in the directory manually rather than using terminal? Thanks!

Ok think i have working as only have one thing showing at a time… how can i define to specific things for specific times?

[barnabycolby]

You need to modify your config.js file, a sample configuration that uses MMM-Carousel can be found here

@barnabycolby will need some help with your module…

How to use it to ONLY rotate 2 modules instead of all of them ?

I have for the moment 10 modules displayed on the screen and would like to rotate only 1 of them with another one…

@PointPubMedia Don’t you need to just put the ones you don’t want to rotate in IgnoreModules? I haven’t installed it, but that looks like the intent…

@PointPubMedia
Once I get home, i can post MY CRUDE hack for that…
I am on pacific time, though. So give me at least 10 hours

[barnabycolby]

Yep, @frog is correct. Include the name of all modules in the ignoreModules configuration option EXCEPT from the two modules you wish to rotate.

@PointPubMedia
I like @barnabycolby 's version (ie exempting all but the ones you want to rotate) a lot.
But here is something KirAsh4 made for me a while ago
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/373/alternating-modules-to-save-on-real-estate/3
that will do the job too - and it will let you learn a bit java along the way

Enjoy

@amanzimdwini Really like the version of @KirAsh4 …

But how to rotate the “same” module ? I’m using the iframe module more than one time, and I would like to rotate all of them…

[amanzimdwini]

@PointPubMedia
Sorry - what are you trying to ask me? I can send you “my” module (basically hacked KirAsh’s a bit - works like a charm). I’m actually trying to use the “Carousel” right now…

[PointPubMedia]

I’m saying that i’m using the swap code from the URL you gave me! But this works like a charm for different module at the same location! What I’m trying to do it’s to rotate the same module with different configuration at the same place!

I’m using the iFrame module to display some graphic from Grafana and I would need to “rotate” a couple of them on MM at the same location! So instead of having 3-4 iFrame at the same time, I will alternate all of them at the same location to save on space!

@PointPubMedia

Did you ever figure this out? I’m interested in the same thing

[izanbard]

@PointPubMedia @cnelso24 Hey, I have just had a PR accepted that adds several config options that should help you

[izanbard]

@amanzimdwini have a look at the latest version, I think it will have some of the features you are looking for

[PointPubMedia]

Thanks!

Is it possible to rotate multiple module definition of the same name ? I mean I’m using MMM-iFrame couple of time on the screen but would like to have only 1 place with multiple iFrame rotating…

[izanbard]

@PointPubMedia yes, if all your iframes are in the same “position” (say top_left)on the page then this config should do it:

        {
            module: 'MMM-Carousel',
            config: {
                transitionInterval: 10000,
                mode: 'positional',
                top_left: {enabled: true, ignoreModules: [], overrideTransitionInterval: 10000},
            }
        },
