How to Hide Modules After Start (using setTimeout)

[tonkxy]

@sdetweil I am wanting the mirror to start, and once it starts and after it builds the menu it will auto hide the modules instead of me having to click through the buttons. I am just trying to autohide them once without clicking the button. Then have the option to toggle on and off. I hope that makes more sense

@tonkxy if u mean where to enable the timer

u should wait to all the modules are loaded

that is a notification_received event

then do your setTimeout there

and the when the timer expires do the loop thru all the modules to hide.

@sdetweil I’ve tried a few things and just am struggling with this notification received. Any advice with what I have so far?

/grabs information needed for refresh
notificationReceived: function (notification, payload, sender) {
	  if (notification === 'MODULE_DOM_CREATED') {
		var modules = MM.getModules();
// Lists through all modules for testing.
				for (var i = 0; i < modules.length; i++) {
				// Check if the current module is the one.
				if (modules[i].name === data.module) {
					// Splits out the module number of the module with the same name.
					var idnr = modules[i].data.identifier.split("_");
					// Check if the idnum is an array or not
					if (Array.isArray(data.idnum)) {
						// If it's an array, check what numbers are in it.
						var idnumber = data.idnum.find(function(element) {
							// Number of the module is found in the array.
							return element == idnr[1]; 
						});
					// If idnum is not an array.
					} else {
						// Set the module id to hide.
						var idnumber = data.idnum;
					}
		// Hides the module.
							modules[i].hide(self.config.animationSpeed, {force: self.config.allowForce});
							// Sets the defined symbol for hidden module.
							if (typeof data.symbol2 !== 'undefined') {
								symbol.className = faclassName + data.symbol2;
								// Set the size if it's set.
								if (data.size) {
									symbol.className += " fa-" + data.size;
									symbol.className += data.size == 1 ? "g" : "x";
								}
							// Sets the defined image for hidden module.
							} else if (typeof data.img2 !== 'undefined') {
								image.className = "menubar-picture";
								image.src = data.img2;
							}
							
							// Prints in the console what just happened (adding the ID). 
							console.log("Hiding "+modules[i].name+" ID: "+idnr[1]);
		}}}
},

@tonkxy see the doc, that’s the wrong notification

@hamptonlindsay go to the MagicMirror GitHub page, click the documentation link, then the three bar menu top left, pick module development
