From reading the readme, i couldn´t figure out where to place the directory MMM-ImagesPhotos searches for the pictures.

[roramirez]

@Mire Hello,

I added a little more explain.

The directory where is searching the images is
MagicMirror/modules/MMM-ImagesPhotos/uploads

The directory called uploads inside the module

Hi, Great job with this Module (really easy to understand),
It is a way to display an imagen according some parameter ? like the day of the week ? I will like to use as Alternative Calendar for my 5 Years old son, images like Music Note to don’t forget his Music instruments on Thursdays or Swimming course Tuesdays and Thursdays and so on… Your Modul is perfect for that, unfortunately i don’t know how to program as filters. Can you help me with this idea ?
Thanks in advance

[roramirez]

@jfodor Great! Do you want take this task?

[jproehl]

@roramirez Nice work! Would it be difficult to create a module that loads a photo from a web site instead of from a folder? There are a bunch of photographers that have web pages with incredible photos that would be nice to cycle through.

[roramirez]

@jproehl Sound good! The directory have indexes?

[jfodor]

@roramirez oh no i’m not that good at coding or git hub. i’m trying to get better but prefer to help out where i can.

thanks for the offer.
