pushed a new version which supports now 4 map positions top, bottom, left, right

is it possible to locate the list of flights on the right of the map, so I can utilize landscape mode better?

works with both providers if you switch the content of your laMin/laMax values …

Thanks for this great module!
Is it still working for other people? I can’t get flights to display on the map, eventhough they are definately there.

I’ve tried to change the provider from FR24 to readsb, but neither seems to work.
Am I overlooking something here? Thanks for the help.

{
  module: "MMM-Flights",
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
    laMin: 51.6,
    laMax: 51.0,
    loMin: 5.2,
    loMax: 6.2,
    provider: "readsb",
    providerUrl: "https://api.airplanes.live/v2/point"
  },
},

I would like to see a configuration option to filter

now implemented with this commit

Thanks for the suggestion!

I tried to open an issue in Gitlabs, but wants me to create an account and pay for membership and such.

they are free see https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/

will look into the filter stuff …

 async makeFlightArray(configPayload) {
      let flights = [];

      const prov = configPayload.provider.toLowerCase();
      if (this.providers.includes(prov)) {
        await require(`./provider/${prov}`).getData(
          configPayload,
          flights,
          this.airports,
          this.airlines,
          this.planes,
          this.setFlightData,
          this.fetchUrl
        );
      } else {
        Log.error(
          `${this.name}: Unknown provider  + ${configPayload.provider}`
        );
      }
	  
	  // Filter out flights with empty airline
      flights = flights.filter((flight) => flight.airline && flight.airline.trim() !== "");
	  
	  console.log(flights);
      return flights;
    },

if there is a way I can hide the horizontal line which is under the ‘Flights’ label.

I updated the module, if you now set title and logoTitle to empty strings no header and no line is diplayed anymore.

anyhow to hide an element is actually easier

selector {
   display:none;
}

.MMM-Flights .module-header {
	border-bottom: 0px; /* removes line */
	font-size: 0px; /* removes 'Flights' and logo (?) */
}

Not sure if that’s an elegant way, but it works :) . I’m not clear on why the 0 font size removes the logo, but it does.

Thanks again!

BUT I want to teach you how to find these things yourself… so you won’t be dependant on waiting for someone

see the second link in my signature below, it will show you how to use the developers window elements tab and locate the element that is displaying the thing you want to modify/hide…

in the upper right window you can try different styles on the selected element to see its behavior and once you’ve found it, you can copy paste those styles into custom.css
and put the selector wrapper around it.

the selector chain is shown on the bottom of the elements window , for example here on another element

I am wondering if there is a way I can hide the horizontal line which is under the ‘Flights’ label. When there are no flights, the line is still visible, and I would love if I were able to hide it somehow. I’m happy to add something to custom.css, but I am unsure how to do so. Thanks!

the downside of changing the modulename.js file is, when an update comes, git pull will fail. and YOU have to figure it out.

everything takes work. I’m just trying to help you learn the best practice so you don’t get smashed later on.

@lif I have a module that presents a form for config customization, built on the fly based on the modules you have installed now

it uses the values from defaults

https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config

in places where there could be choices, the author can augment the definition to make it more usable and understandable.

not every module works some need help.
if the module is old or the author chooses not to provide an improved definition, I can ship one created by a user, with my module to make the user experience better.

Nice advert :-) but I’ve never been able to cut and paste, in some cases , 20 - 30 lines of options from the module config file to config.js using a command line editor if the author doesn’t give all the options in the default config.js example on Git Hub.

I assume that it can be changed in the {module}.js file.

no.

in config.js

the design is config js is used to override the values set in the modulename.js defaults section

lacking documentation is a different probem.

if you find properties in the defaults section you can override them in config.js

@lif

was talking about showMap: "ifTraffic", and this works on my side, tested it again

Yes

 showMap: "ifTraffic", // "always", "never", "ifTraffic"

Yes, it did work before I applied an update this morning

should be fixed now with latest version …

Sorry, still the same after (I think) installing the latest version

@lif please NEVER edit the source file. unless you KNOW what you are getting yourself into.

When the {module}.js file has lines which state something like
'units: “imperial”, // metric uses m and km/h, imperial uses ft and mph,
I assume that it can be changed in the {module}.js file.

all config should go in config.js
everything in the defaults section can be overridden in config.js

Some modules list all the options in the example that goes into the config.js file, MMM-Flights (and many others) don’t.

also on forum posts use the code block wrapper for all code and config.

@lif said in MMM-Flights:

The map changes width depending upon the ac in the area.

yes, the map changes width because of the length of the flight data in the table below, the area inside the map does not change. You can test this with setting mapFontColor: "red", so you see the area points.

Ah, OK, I’ll change the font size down a bit.

But I have to rethink this behavior or provide an option for a fixed width.

Also the map shows even with no traffic and showMap: “ifTraffic”,

will look into this, I did a rewrite of the module so maybe this was lost …
