Replacing snow flakes with hearts in the MMM-SNOW module

morozgrafix

@Hein-Jan I’m not very familiar with MMM-ModuleScheduler but I have some experience with cron jobs

It typically goes like this [minute] [hour] [day of the month] [month] [day of the week]

in your module_schedule: {from: '0 7 14 02 *', to: '30 23 14 02 *' } I would replace month number from 02 to 2 (allowed values for that field are 1 through 12). So it would read like module_schedule: {from: '0 7 14 2 *', to: '30 23 14 2 *' }

Your from value would translate to something like at 07:00am on 14th day of the month in February (it can be any day of the week) in human language

and your to value would read as at 11:30pm (or 23:30) on 14th day of the month in February (it can be any day of the week).

Hope this helps.

@morozgrafix So cool!

@morozgrafix The other idea is create a module template like this where include this type, snow, new year, etc… in one module.

morozgrafix

@roramirez Yes you are right, I also thought about idea of general module that can be configured with various images or possibly have a schedule that will pick images from different folders and be hidden rest of the time.

@morozgrafix That’s exactly what I was thinking…

@cowboysdude If are there some people interesting in working on this I can help. Maybe a future check is possible integregate into the core.

Also, the MMM-ModuleScheduler seems to me too nice. I’ve not been have time to test yet.

@morozgrafix & @ianperrin

On scheduling and Cron Jobs.

To my regret the Schedule did not work out the way that had I planned it. My mirror did not show cute, drifting Valentine icons on Valentines Day. Some further experimentation today has shown that MMM-ModuleScheduler does not work with either an 02 or a 2 but does work with a “feb”.

I love working on stuff but not confident enough to pull that off LOL I know php but just learning js so I’m just tinkering with small easy to create things for now.

@Hein-Jan sorry it didn’t work, as I mentioned earlier I’m not familiar with ModuleScheduler.
