MMM-DumpsterDay

[DeanoNoire]

@BD0G Hi there,
I added the install instructions and example of config with descriptions to the readme file.
I’ll copy it here also:

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

		enableBasic: true, 				// Enable basic trashcan 
		basicStartDate: "24.10.2019", 	// The first dumpster day (Always use 2 digit dates (01 instead of 1))
		basicDateDiff_1: 14,			// 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: "16.01.2019", 
		plasticDateDiff_1: 28,
		plasticNotifyDayBefore: true,	

		enableLandscape: false,			// Same values as basic but for Landscape
		landscapeStartDate: "29.10.2019",
		landscapeDateDiff_1: 28,		
		landscapeNotifyDayBefore: true,
	}

I hope it’s clear now :)

Also note the module should not appear today, as it’s not a dumpster day :) Try changing the Start date in the config to make it appear it’s dumpster day today to test it. I may also implement a AlwaysOn config key for testing purposes. Maybe during the week :)

If anything is unclear or can be improved, please let me know :)

Many of the other modules that are published use the following syntax to copy the files needed to the MagicMirror/modules directory.

git clone https://github.com/DeanoNoire/MMM-DumpsterDay.git

So perhaps it would be advantageous to add the following as the first step.

1. Navigate to the MagicMirror/modules sub-directory
2. Run the following command “git clone https://github.com/DeanoNoire/MMM-DumpsterDay.git” (this will copy the needed files into the sub-directory)

Also the code for the config.js appears to be missing

},

at the end.

I switched to the sub directory MagicMirror/modules and did a git clone git clone https://github.com/DeanoNoire/MMM-DumpsterDay.git

That created a directory named MMM-DumpsterDay with the files below that directory.

Then I added the code you posted to my MagicMirror/config/config.js file exactly as you posted. I found that there was a missing }, at the end of the code.

I modified the config.js to reflect today as trashday and launched Magic Mirror . Nothing was displayed onscreen.

Shoundlnt the config.js code for module be MMM-DumpsterDay
?

Here is my current config.js after renaming the module portion to MMM-DumpsterDay

{
	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: "11.10.2019", 	// 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: "11.10.2019",
		landscapeDateDiff_1: 14,		
		landscapeNotifyDayBefore: true,
		}		
		},
		
		{
			module: "alert",
		},
		{
			module: "updatenotification",
			position: "top_bar"
		},
		{
			module: "clock",
			position: "top_left"
		},

@BD0G this seems right :)
Thanks for the tips! I will change the installation process :) I’m still new, this is my first real programming project, so this colaboration process is new to me.

[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!

[DeanoNoire]

@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.
