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

[sdetweil]

@3squaremirror yes. profileswitcher says it’s in charge of hiding and showing modules (via lockstring)

so. can u force profile switcher to switch to that users profile?

@sdetweil my apology about the double posting, it’s noted. i am not clear on how to force profile switcher to switch. can you elaborate that?

[sdetweil]

@3squaremirror sorry, no idea. was just a thought. know nothing about the module

@3squaremirror
Do you use any other modules which may hide/show modules?
If i copy your configuration to my test environment and add some notifications (change day/night every minute) everything works as expected.

@wishmaster270 i also use the Touch and Pages module.

@3squaremirror
I think the problem is the pages module. It uses lockstrings as well and may block the module of being shown.
Tried combining pages and profiles a view years ago and had very similar problems.

But you can ralize all you can do with MMM-pages and MMM-page-indicator with MMM-ProfileSwitcher and MMM-ProfileControl. So there is no need to mix Pages and Profiles.

@wishmaster270 thank you, i think you’re right. i read about forcing a module to unhide the lockstring. not sure how to get that done.

@3squaremirror some code needs to use the force parameter on the show() or hide() functions.

but I can’t tell from the log which code issued the show/hide. only that the profileswitcher had it locked
