jumping of modules

[kclemen]

Hi,

When using the hide/show function the new function jumps from the bottom to the top.
Rather difficult to explain, but I made a movie about it. Sorry for the moving around…

Youtube, jumping of modules.

What would be a solution to immediately show the new module on the top?

@kclemen not sure im right

but are you using the hide() show() ?
from your own module ?

[kclemen]

The code I’m using is in my “skywriter” module:

Module.register("MMM-skywriter",{
	
	// Default module config.
	defaults: {
		gesture_up: 0,
		gesture_right: 0,
		
	},

	// Override socket notification handler.
	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
		if (notification === "gesture_observed"){
			
			console.log ("socketnotificationreceived.");
		
			//self.sendNotification(notification, payload);
			
			if (payload === "up"){
				if (this.config.gesture_up == 0) {
						
						MM.getModules().withClass(this.config.defaultClass).exceptWithClass(this.config.everyoneClass).enumerate(function(module) {
							module.hide(1000, function() {
								Log.log(module.name + ' is hidden.');
							});
						});
				
						MM.getModules().withClass("class_up_1_show").enumerate(function(module) {
							module.show(1000, function() {
								Log.log(module.name + ' is shown.');
							});
						});
						
						this.config.gesture_up = this.config.gesture_up+1;
						console.log (this.config.gesture_up);

						console.log("gesture_up is nu 1");
				}
				else if (this.config.gesture_up == 1) {
						this.config.gesture_up = this.config.gesture_up+1;
						console.log (this.config.gesture_up)
						console.log("gesture_up is nu 2");
				}
			}
			else if (payload === "left"){
				console.log("test - left");
			}
			else if (payload === "down") {
				console.log("test - down");
				
				if (this.config.gesture_up == 1){
					this.config.gesture_up = this.config.gesture_up-1;
					
					MM.getModules().withClass("class_up_1_show").enumerate(function(module) {
						module.hide(1000, function() {
							Log.log(module.name + ' is hidden by gesture.');
						});
					});
					
					MM.getModules().withClass(this.config.defaultClass).exceptWithClass(this.config.everyoneClass).enumerate(function(module) {
							module.show(1000, function() {
								
								
								
								Log.log(module.name + ' is hidden.');
							});
						});
					
				}
				else if (this.config.gesture_up == 2){
					this.config.gesture_up = this.config.gesture_up-1;
					console.log("gesture up is terug 1");
				}
			}
		}
	},
	
	notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) {
		if (notification === 'DOM_OBJECTS_CREATED') {
			MM.getModules().exceptWithClass("default").enumerate(function(module) {
				module.hide(1000, function() {
					Log.log('Module is hidden.');
				});
			});
		}
	},
	
	start: function() {
		this.current_user = null;
		this.sendSocketNotification('CONFIG', this.config);
		Log.info('Starting module: ' + this.name);
	}
	
});

@kclemen
what’s the position of your module in the config?
2 différents zone ?

[kclemen]

@tidus5, No they have the same zone: position: ‘top_right’,

[tidus5]

@kclemen so if i understand correctly the problem is because the second module move when you hide the first one ?

as far as i understand the module - if you have 2 module in the same zone and you hide one the other take the free space

maybe if you change the second one from “top_right” to an other zone ?

[tidus5]

@kclemen or is it the small latency when your module is hide ?

[kclemen]

The problem is that the second module comes in the screen before the first one is completely hided I geuss? Or what do you mean with the latency of the module?

[tidus5]

@kclemen ok ok i understand now

[tidus5]

@kclemen

if you try

module.hide(500, instead of 1000?
