MMM-ProfileSwitcher, A Profile/User/Layout Switching Module

tosti007

@mortenbirkelund Yes there is, however that would mean that the code has to loop over the modules twice, which isn’t a great thing to do performance wise. I will write a bit of code that does it for you and post it here soon.

Edit: here is the code, all you need to do it replace the whole set_profile function inside the MMM-ProfileSwitcher.js file.

The code:

// Change the current layout into the new layout given the current profile
set_profile: function (useEveryone) {
    var self = this;

    var options = {};
    if (self.config.useLockStrings) {
        options.lockString = self.identifier;
    }

    MM.getModules().exceptWithClass(self.config.ignoreModules).enumerate(function (module) {
        if (!self.isVisible(self, useEveryone, module.data.classes)) {
            module.hide(self.config.animationDuration, function () {
                Log.log(module.name + " is hidden.");
            }, options);
        }
    });

    MM.getModules().exceptWithClass(self.config.ignoreModules).enumerate(function (module) {
        if (self.isVisible(self, useEveryone, module.data.classes)) {
            module.show(self.config.animationDuration, function () {
                Log.log(module.name + " is shown.");
            }, options);
        }
    });
},

Note: Once again this is not so great performance wise, but I dont think you will notice much of it

@tosti007 Thank you very much. Very kind of you to create the code for me.

I am new to using Git. How do i alter your my copy of your module, without risking that it will be overwritten on an update? Or is that not something that i should be concerned about?

mortenbirkelund

@tosti007 In case anybody is interested, the block of codes that enables the modules, should be altered a bit in order to take the animationDuration into account.

		setTimeout(function() {			
			MM.getModules().exceptWithClass(self.config.ignoreModules).enumerate(function (module) {
				if (self.isVisible(self, useEveryone, module.data.classes)) {
					module.show(self.config.animationDuration, function () {
						Log.log(module.name + " is shown.");
					}, options);
				}
			});			
		}, self.config.animationDuration);

@mortenbirkelund By altering the code git won’t allow you to pull the new updates, in case of an update you will have to clone it manually again. And thank you for sharing the timeout :)

tosti007

Another side note I just realised, if you do use that setTimeout and you swap between profiles in rapid succession I am not sure and cannot quarantee that some of the modules will be shown properly

@tosti007 I’ve just tried it, and I don’t experience any problems.

Feature request: Schedule profiles throughout time of day and day of the week. I’m thinking of this not as personal profiles, but rather a way to have the mirror show only the relevant panels at any given time. For instance, at lunch time, a lunch menu or out of office message, but at the end of the day, commuting info

@looolz I think what you are looking for is the MMM-ModuleScheduler which you can use in combination with my module as described here

@tosti007 Thanks!

@tosti007 Hello Tosti,

great MMM for the MagicMirror! Unfortunately i do not get it to work, even with a minimal example:

/* Magic Mirror Config Sample
 *
 * By Michael Teeuw http://michaelteeuw.nl
 * MIT Licensed.
 */

var config = {
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],

	language: 'en',
	timeFormat: 24,
	units: 'metric',

	modules: [
		{
			module: 'alert',
		},
		{
			module: "updatenotification",
			position: "top_bar"
		},
		{
			module: 'clock',
			position: 'top_right',
			classes: 'TestA'
		},
		{
			module: 'clock',
			position: 'top_left',
			classes: 'TestB'
		},
		{
			module: 'compliments',
			position: 'lower_third',
			classes: 'default'
		},
		{
			module: 'MMM-ProfileSwitcher',
			header: 'Profile',
			config: {
				defaultTime: 5000,
				defaultClass: 'default',
				everyoneClass: 'everyone',
				useLockStrings: false,
				enterMessages: {
					"TestA TestB": "Hey %profile%!"
				},
				leaveMessages: {
					"everyone": "Bye %person%!", 
					"TestA": ["Another goodbye", true] 
				},
				timers: {
					// when Brian is selected swap to the defaultClass after the defaultTime
					"TestA": {},
				    	//
				        // When Lisa is selected swap to Brian after 20 seconds
				        "TestB": {
						profile: "TestA",
					    	time: 20 * 1000
					},
					"default": {
						profile: "TestB"
					}
				}

			}
		}
		]

};

/*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {module.exports = config;}

I can see the compliments module at the beginning as it is in the default class. But then the profile isn’t switching. Even with the ModuleScheduler (different Module) the profiles aren’t switching.

Do i have to define the classes somewhere else, for example in a css file or anything else?

Since nearly a week i’m trying to get it working but i’m running out of luck. Maybe you or anyone else any idea?

Appreciate it sooo much. Thanks in advance
