Is it possible to have CSS for normal screens and a custom CSS for 7in screen?

Radnor

var small_size = 800;
var width = 0;
try {
width=outerWidth
}
catch(error){
}

var config = …

	{
		module: "newsfeed",

disabled: width < small_size ? true:false,
position: “bottom_bar”,
config: {

I had it WITH and WITHOUT the comma after false. I had parens around the logical test too.

Radnor

Event tried:

if (small_size>width) {
disabled: true,
}

this generates error in config with lots of red text on loading up

@Radnor gotta have the comma after, cause there is more to this module definition… (, comma means more info following this line)

so, u want news feed ON for laptop (disabled:false), OFF for small display (disabled:true)

so, newsfeed has two parts… the node_helper, and the browser part (modulename.js)

so, we WANT the node_helper to load (disabled:false), but don’t know anything about the screen size yet, so it must be ALWAYS disable:false

var small_size = 800;
var width = 801;   // notice 1 larger than expected size of small screen
try {
    width=outerWidth        // get the actual screen width (only works in browser usage)
}
catch(error){                       // this catches the fatal error in node_helper loading
}

config info

{
		module: "newsfeed",
                disabled: width > small_size ?        // on startup, this will be true, so we want disabled:false
                                                      // when the browser on laptop pulls in modulename, this will be true
                                                      //              so disabled: false                  
                                                      false:                    
                                                      // when the small device is used, this will be false (800 is NOT greater than 800)
                                                      // so we want disabled: true 
                                                      true
                                                ,     // more stuff coming on next line
                position: “bottom_bar”,
                config: {             

                }

Thank you.

I’ve had it with and without the ending comma. Your changes, I’ve put in config.js only (node helper???) I did not put it in the modulename.js

I did not put it in the modulename.js

you do NOT put it into anything other than config.js,

the system (MM) will load config.js

once for loading node_helpers
once for each browser that connects to MM (including one that is included when npm start is done)

Radnor

Thats good. Did not mess that up…

I did a copy and paste of your code into my config file.

On the laptop I want the newsfeed. It just says “Loading …” (BEFORE changing width to 801)
On my phone, I do not want the newsfeed and it is NOT there. So that works great.

THANK YOU!!!

Changed width to 801 seems to be working now!
The short code works not too (without all the comments)

Thank you again! Be safe!

” (BEFORE changing width to 801)

right, the node_helper was not loaded, so the UI will just sit and wait for data that will never come
if you opened the dev window, console tabe, you would see an error from the module trying to send a message to the node_helper, which is not loaded…oops…
