Diego Vieria Random-Photo read image from PI ?

[alverman]

HI,
is possible change the random-photo module to make sure that it refers to one of the PI image folder?

many thanks, Alberto

Try this module: https://github.com/Ultimatum22/MMM-RandomBackground I developed it. Should meet your requirements.

[alverman]

But where put the folder address ?
In RandomBackground.js ?

photoDirectories: [ ] // Additional folders to find photos in
in this mode:
photoDirectories: [images]

Thanks, Alberto

@alverman currently a custom path is not implemented yet.

the images should be placed in this directory MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RandomBackground/photos/

[alverman]

Ah OK !!
But when active this module in config.js I see all black !!
In photos directory I have 3 png images !!
why ?

Thanks, Alberto

[Ultimatum22]

Please post the part of the config file you have added for this module. Also did you look in the log and/or browser console? Without any info it’s near impossible to help.

[alverman]

And in dev mode I have 1 error:
failed to load http://localhost:8080/modules/RandomBackground//RandomBackground.js
resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (non found)

[Ultimatum22]

Please show your config, I am assuming your either did something wrong there. Also how did you add this module? The folder and js file are wrong, should be MMM- before it.

[alverman]

You were right !!
I had forgotten to put in the MMM- config.js
But now I have another error when I npm install I get:
Succeffully applied Snyk Patches
npm grunt-yamllint@0.2.0 WARN requires a peer of grunt@tilde0.4.0 but none installed

While in the dev box now I get:
http: // localhost: 8080 / modules / MMM-RandomBackground // node_modules / jquery / dist / jquery.min.js
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (not found)

my config.js is:
