@forjer sorry, I’ve run out of everything to look for. the error is gone now…

@sdetweil In my developer log it mentions “RemoteCompliments: ‘MODULE_DOM_CREATED’ received: null” and “module.js:199 MMM-RemoteCompliments is suspended.” Is that a clue? It just doesn’t make sense. I tested it yesterday morning by putting in a really long compliment just to see how it looked on the screen. I then reverted it back to a short compliment. Later in the morning I did a
sudo apt-get updateand asudo apt-get upgradejust before setting up remote desktop, VNC and pitunnel. Those are the only other things that I can think of where I changed some stuff.developers window

I had about 10 compliments programmed to display at their specified time slots throughout the day. And I liked the ability to control / override them easily with my phone via Google Drive.

@forjer the code and comments
// Hide module on startup. // If the module receives data, the module will reveal itself. self.hide(0); self.hidden = true;which is reasonable, but it just reinforces no data.
sorry no idea on another module that does this other than the default compliments module with remotefile
-
@sdetweil Hmm…is there a simple way to hard code in a RemoteCompiment to force it to show? Just as a troubleshooting step to see it?
I guess I could consider the default compliments with remote file. Can I run a second default compliment module at the same time? Is it as simple as copying the folders and renaming them “compliments2” or something?
-
@forjer the default compliments module can be used multiple times without problem. you either pass the compliments as config parms or in a remotefile as config parm
-
@sdetweil So are you saying I can run two instances of compliments at the same time, shown in two different locations on the same display? And is this done by copying the compliments.js to make a “compliments2.js”?
-
@forjer yes, two instances, no need to copy the module
-
@sdetweil I’m sorry, I’m a little slow. And this is making my brain hurt. I really appreciate your patience with me.
How would this look in config.js? And how does it know which compliments go in what position of the MM?
What I’m after is a normal compliments module running in lower_third, and a second compliments module sliced into 10 time slots with a different set of compliments running in upper_third. I’ve just finished modifying the default compliments.js to get my 10 time slots and that seems to work, so I’m getting closer.
-
@forjer modifying?
no need to modify ( never modify module source code)
code two modules wherever u want.
put the compliments text in the config block in config.jsI am on my phone so everything but the actual compliments
{ module:"compliments", position:"lower_third", config:{ compliments:{ same as in defaults section of code whatever compliments for module 1 } OR remotefile:"http://....... somefile on some server" } }, { module:"compliments", position:"upper_third", config:{ compliments:{ same as in defaults section of code whatever compliments for module 2 } } }
