Family Info Board

[bminer1]

@Wedee Thanks! Works perfect now!

[bhepler]

So… how did Christmas go? I hope everyone was amazed!

@bhepler

Sorry just got back from a work trip to Europe. Yes the Family loves the board. Already have made several improvements, and have several more ideas we want to try. I had bought an additional Raspberry Pi to play with and successfully set up Alexa, so I think that is the next major add to the info board.

After telling a few at work about the idea two more guys have set up a similar board at their place, and their families love it as well.

It would be great if you could share your css.
Your calendar looks great but i am absolutely css noob.

[poekel]

@fox agreed.

Weedee could you please share ?

[Wedee]

As I have already done for many, just shoot me a PM with your email address and I will send the custom.css and background.

@Wedee : How did you the trick with several calendars? Could you please share some infos for me?
Thx

[lucallmon]

@Orca simply clone the module for the calendar and change the settings for login.

[Orca]

@lucallmon: Can you give me a hint how to clone this module. I’ve copied the folder into …/modules and named it calendar1, but only black screen.
Thx

[Wedee]

No need to duplicate the module, in the config.js just repeat the module config but point to the second calendar settings.

You have two possibilities with the calendar module.

Option 1:

This shows one block and mixes both calendars, sorted by date

modules: [
	{
		module: 'calendar',
		header: 'both calendars'
		position: 'top_left',
		config: {
			calendars: [
				{
				url: 'http://www.whatever.....xx.ics',
				symbol: 'calendar',
				},
				{
				url: 'http://www.justanother....zz.ics',
				symbol: 'calendar',
				}
			],
		}
	}
]

Option 2:

This show calendar1 sorted by date and then shows calendar2 sorted by date, but in a seperate block with a seperate header

modules: [
	{
		module: 'calendar',
		header: 'calendar1'
		position: 'top_left',
		config: {
			calendars: [
				{
				url: 'http://www.whatever.....xx.ics',
				symbol: 'calendar',
				}
			],
		}
	},
	{
		module: 'calendar',
		header: 'calendar2'
		position: 'top_left',
		config: {
			calendars: [
				{
				url: 'http://www.justanother....zz.ics',
				symbol: 'calendar',
				}
			],
		}
	}	
]

[Orca]

THX, that did the trick.

Another request for you to post your css for calendar_monthly…I’m not having much luck getting it formatted widely enough.

[emos]

Very clean.

Can i ask, how did you manage to create horizontal lines for all the modules?

Thanks

[Wedee]

@emos I believe its just a function of my CSS forcing column widths (width: xxxpx;). As the headers of the module are usually set to “float” the forcing of a width makes them span the entire column.

I have not touched the mirror in about a year - it just runs.

@Wedee Thank you for your reply.
Do you mind sharing your main.css and custom.css with us? It looks too damn good ;)
