MMM-DumpsterDay

[BD0G]

Well I am kinda forced to collaborate if I want to use this awesome module . Right? :) LOL

My config.js does not work so I want to get it going so we can all use this module!

@BD0G i will give it a try with your config and check what’s wrong and let you know.

@BD0G Hey there, I changed the file names of the modules and the paths, so it can be used the way you described - via clone.
Can pull the current version and give it a try? Also change the date accordingly :) I believe we’re getting there! :D

Have a good one.

@DeanoNoire
I deleted the sub-directory that was created under MagicMirror/modules named mmm-dumpsterday . All lowercase.

I then used the command git clone https://github.com/DeanoNoire/MMM-DumpsterDay.git.

This created the correct the directory named MMM-DumpsterDay . Capital letters in proper places.

Then I modified my config.js under the MagicMirror/config directory to reflect today as being trash day . Turned off Recycle by using the false specifier. Turned on Landscape by using the specifier true. Set the Landscape date to todays date as well.

Restarted the MagicMirror and I do see a pulsing white trash can ,BUT no can for Landscape. ???

The trash can is displayed within the bottom_bar area of the screen and the trash can is quiet large onscreen. I am assuming that I can modify the MagicMirror/modules/MMM-DumpsterDay/MMM-DumpsterDay.css file to change the size to better fit the screen?

Here is my current config.js file to troubleshoot the absence of the Landscape can. on screen

	{
	module:"MMM-DumpsterDay",
	position:"bottom_bar",
	config: {
		refreshInterval: 18000000, // Default: 18000000 = 5 hours
		pulse: true, 			   // Default: true - Makes the module pulsating

		enableBasic: true, 				// Enable basic trashcan 
		basicStartDate: "11.11.2019", 	// The first dumpster day (Always use 2 digit dates (01 instead of 1))
		basicDateDiff_1: 7,			// Trashday reoccurance - Default: 14 (every 14 days)
		basicNotifyDayBefore: true,		//Default: true - If you want the notification to appear also the day before the dumpster day
		
		enablePlastic: false,			// Same values as basic but for Plastic
		plasticStartDate: "16.01.2019", 
		plasticDateDiff_1: 28,
		plasticNotifyDayBefore: true,	

		enableLandscape: true,			// Same values as basic but for Landscape
		landscapeStartDate: "11.11.2019",
		landscapeDateDiff_1: 14,		
		landscapeNotifyDayBefore: true,
		}		
		},
		
		{
			module: "alert",
		},

Also, I dont know how much additional code would be needed to display the words
Tomorrow is Trash Day
for the day preceding what one sets for Trash Day and then the words Today is Trash Day
for the day in which is actually trash day. This would be in small text (alterable within the .css file) below the trash can icons. That way one would know at a glance.

@DeanoNoire
i have this module working and it looks good,thanks
i would like to use the basic,recycle_blue and recycle_yellow bins,how do i modify the config to work with those?

[BD0G]

@mrdenmark
Try this setup in your MagicMirror/config/config.js

enableBasic: true, 				// Enable basic trashcan 
		basicStartDate: "11.11.2019", 	// The first dumpster day (Always use 2 digit dates (01 instead of 1))
		basicDateDiff_1: 7,			// Trashday reoccurance - Default: 14 (every 14 days)
		basicNotifyDayBefore: true,		//Default: true - If you want the notification to appear also the day before the dumpster day
		
		enablePlastic: true,			// Same values as basic but for Plastic
		plasticStartDate: "11.11.2019", 
		plasticDateDiff_1: 28,
		plasticNotifyDayBefore: true,	

		enableLandscape: true,			// Same values as basic but for Landscape
		landscapeStartDate: "11.11.2019",
		landscapeDateDiff_1: 7,		
		landscapeNotifyDayBefore: true,
		}		
		},

Then just modify the MagicMirror/modules/MMM-DumpsterDay/MMM-DumpsterDay.css file to have the Landscape setting display a blue can.

.landscapeDiv{
	height:70px;
	width:20%;
	background-image: url(imgs/recycle_blue.png);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: center center;
	background-size: contain;
	overflow: auto;
	display:inline-block;

If you want the Blue can next to the White can instead of the Yellow Can then just modify the MagicMirror/modules/MMM-DumpsterDay/MMM-DumpsterDay.css file like this

.plasticDiv{
	height:70px;
	width:20%;
	background-image: url(imgs/recycle_blue.png);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: center center;
	background-size: contain;
	overflow: auto;
	display:inline-block;
}

.landscapeDiv{
	height:70px;
	width:20%;
	background-image: url(imgs/recycle_yellow.png);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: center center;
	background-size: contain;
	overflow: auto;
	display:inline-block;
}

@BD0G
thanks for that,one last thing,is it possible change the colour of the basic bin?in my case i’d like red.

[BD0G]

Give me a few minutes and I will try and fill the one that is white with a red color.

[BD0G]

Save the file I uploaded (right click -Save Image As) to this directory MagicMirror/modules/MMM-DumpsterDay/imgs

Then change your MagicMirror/modules/MMM-DumpsterDay/MMM-DumpsterDay.css file so that it has this entry

.basicDiv{
	height:70px;
	width:20%;
	background-image: url(imgs/basic_red.png);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: center center;
	background-size: contain;
	overflow: auto;
	display:inline-block;
