MMM-BinCollection
-
Hi all,
Found MM and think it’s the bee’s knees… Have not been able to stopping thinking about how to use itLooked at some of the bin collections modules and they are brilliant but I didn’t want to use CSV files. So I came up with a way to reuse the calendar module. Create a bin collection calendar in Google Calendar and then adding recurring entries for collections, for me it’s every two weeks on a Monday:
Moved any individual dates that clashed with Public Holidays (Easter Monday) etc and then added a new entry in config.js{ module: "calendar", header: "Bin Collection", position: "bottom_left", config: { maximumEntries: 3, // as I only have 3 bins fetchInterval: 3600000, // update every hour timeFormat: "dateheaders", // group by date maximumNumberOfDays: 14, // it's a two week cycle for me fade: false, // no fade please calendars: [ { symbol: "trash", // trash icon :) url: "webcal://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/..../basic.ics" // update this to point to your bin calendar } ] } },
and now the below is exactly what I need:
Hope this is of use to someone
