MMM-Multimonth

[George]

Hello everybody!
A few months ago I installed MMM-Multimonth. It worked without problems but lately it behaves strangely. The date does not change at 24.00, it change at 12.00. I did not change anything in the configuration. Has anyone had this problem before?
Thanks,

@george That is an odd one. I’m not experiencing that one myself. It might be a cache issue.

By the way, I’m the (co) author and the maintainer.

I’ll look at it to see if there’s a reason, but I’m not sure why it would happen.

@bkeyport I did some checking, and MMM-M sets up the trigger to reset at 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds every day, so it’s not something I can fix. Do you have your system clock off from the Mirror’s clock or something like that?

@bkeyport , The watch is ok. Yesterday I restarted it in the afternoon and now it works correctly. When I restarted it in the morning, the date did not change correctly. Could this be a problem? I use this calendar in two mirrors. I restarted the second mirror last time in the afternoon and it works correctly.

@george I honestly don’t know. Let’s summon some help here - @sdetweil - can you explain this situation above?

start: function (){
		 var timer = setInterval(()=>{
		 this.updateDom()
		}, moment().add(1, 'days').hours(0).minutes(0).seconds(0)-moment())
	},    

it seems to me this would work to reset at midnight, but according to George here, it’s not working - can you help me figure it out, or summon in someone that can?

Thanks.

@bkeyport that will fire a day from now. whenever now is…

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil Thanks.

@George I think I got a solution, it’s working on my end.

To test - on your pi’s console (preferably from SSH so you can watch the Mirror’s screen) :

update the software:

cd ~\magicmirror\modules\MMM-Multimonth
git pull

Restart your Mirror software via whatever method you use to load it. (Example: pm2 restart mm)

timedatectl set-ntp false 

You’ll have to authenticate. On my system, the usual login is #1.

Then,

sudo date -s "23:59:00" 

Watch your Pi Mirror screen, it’ll switch to a minute before midnight, and track. At midnight, it should move the highlight to the next day.

sudo date -s "11:59:00" 

Watch again, it shouldn’t move to the next day at noon.

timedatectl set-ntp true

This will reset your time & date to correct time again, and resume normal operation. Like the above operation, you’ll need to authenticate.

That way you don’t have to stay up. :)

Please let me know.

@bkeyport , work, thanks, good job! :)

@bkeyport , hi, after you made the last change to the module, I deleted it and installed it again. Everything was OK. A few days ago, I restarted the mirror. It’s been a day late since then. If I restart it in the morning (am) it’s ok. The problem occurs if I restart it in the afternoon (pm).

[BKeyport]

@george Odd. I didn’t change anything except add a file for MMM-Config. I’ll look at it.

Confirmed. Nothing changed, nothing I can do can make it break.

@sdetweil @cowboysdude @Mykle1 – anyone wanna help with this? Please? I’m pretty sure at this point it’s not my module.

@bkeyport actually above, I see it highlighting the 26th, but text says 27th in both cases…

in the previous it was only one side that was wrong… now both are

looking at the code now

[sdetweil]

@bkeyport the only code that sets the highlighting is
starting at line 82

so, I would change the css to unique colors for the 3 lines, (2 have different classes but same color)

								if (currentWeekday.day() == 0 || currentWeekday.day() == 6) {
									output += "<div class='current_day_weekend'>" + currentWeekday.format("D") + "</div>";
								} else {
									output += "<div class='current_day'>" + currentWeekday.format("D") + "</div>";
								}
							} else {
								output += "<div class='current_day'>" + currentWeekday.format("D") + "</div>";

								if (currentWeekday.day() == 0 || currentWeekday.day() == 6) {
									output += "<div class='current_day_weekend'>" + currentWeekday.format("D") + "</div>";
								} else {
									output += "<div class='current_day'>" + currentWeekday.format("D") + "</div>";
								}
							} else {
								output += "<div class='current_day'>" + currentWeekday.format("D") + "</div>";
