Dynamic change in the size and position of modules

[Azazlo]

I’m looking for a module with which you can change the position and size of modules dynamically. The MMM-ModulePosition has a very similar functionality, but there you need to restart the mirror and rewrite the css file. I also want me to save the new location and size of the modules and the mirror continues to work, does such a module exist at the moment?

@Azazlo maybe (from 3rd party list)

I saw this module, but honestly I could not figure out how it works.

I don’t really understand where to insert the line “this.sendNotification(CHANGE_POSITIONS_DEFAULTS);” from this module

[sdetweil]

@Azazlo some other app (mmm-remotecontrol maybe) has to send it a message to move module x to position y

here are the available positions

That’s the point. I need to be able to modify directly with the mouse on the screen, as in the module that I gave as an example. It is very convenient and looks nice, but it does not have a save function without restarting and overwriting the file

@Azazlo ok, you didn’t say that… no module provides drag/drop positioning of other modules

maybe you can merge them together

MMM-ModulePosition almost perfect, except for the impossibility of making changes without restarting and rewriting the file. Although I would put up with the fact that you need to restart the program, if only it was automatic

In case anyone comes by here, please let me know what improvements can be made to the MMM-ModulePosition tool, and I will see if i can incorporate them into it. TheBodger

@TheBodger I am actually using your module, and it was working great until the the most recent update and now there is only one module i can move around the others wont let me. any suggestions would be helpful thank you

@lucifer6669 Hi, thanks for using the module. Could you share a few more details about what is still working and what isn’t ? (i.e. which module you can move, does it still save the CSS to your computer, what happens when you try to move other ones, when you save, do you see the pop up ? Can you clear the pop up before moving other Modules , try running with the config set like this:

	{
		module: "MMM-ModulePosition",
		position: "fullscreen_below",
		config: { showAlerts: false, },
	},

If you have a github account then you can respond to the issue I raised here: https://github.com/TheBodger/MMM-ModulePosition/issues/6 Thanks and i will help sort this out for you
