Go East, young icon!

Mykle1

Hi all,

I don’t even know if it’s possible, and it really isn’t necessary, but I’m trying to move the “mobile” icon in MMM-NetworkScanner from its place on the left of the device name to the right of the device name. I spent a good amount of time trying to achieve this, and I was trying where I probably shouldn’t ( the MMM-NetworkScanner.js file), and still no success.

This is where the mobile icon appears by default, to the left of the devices name.

I’d rather it be here, on the right of the device name, where the smiley face is.

If this is the developers jurisdiction then I humbly acquiesce.

Peace

The reason why it’s a bad practice to change the maker’s code is because you cannot do an easy git pull anymore due to the changes. That means that every time there is a new version of the module you will have to redownload it and then modify the code again.

That being said there is no way to get what you want without modifying the code, unless the maker adds this as a feature in the future.

To get what you want you only have to change code inside MMM-NetworkScanner.js.
Inside the getDom function you can find the lines:

// Icon
icon =  document.createElement("i");
icon.classList.add("fa-li", "fa", "fa-" + device.icon);
deviceItem.appendChild(icon);

// Name 
deviceItem.innerHTML += device.name;

All you have to do is change that part into:

// Name 
deviceItem.innerHTML += device.name;

// Icon
icon =  document.createElement("i");
icon.classList.add("fa-li", "fa", "fa-" + device.icon);
deviceItem.appendChild(icon);

So this is basically swapping the order in which the icon and the text are added to deviceItem.

Hope this helps

Note: I am currently on mobile so have no way of testing it. If it doesn’t work then let me know and i will search another solution (and I will be confused since I am pretty sure this works)

It’s 7am here. I’m running off to work but I will try as soon as I get home. I will let you know. Many thanks.

@Mykle1 you can achieve this without modifying the code

custom.css

.MMM-NetworkScanner .fa-ul li .fa-li {
  float: right;
}

if this ends up with a to big gap you can limit the wifht of the list with

.MMM-NetworkScanner .fa-ul {
  width: 200px;
}

custom.css
.MMM-NetworkScanner .fa-ul li .fa-li {
float: right;
}

This did not work for me. The mobile icon remained on the left side of the device name. I should note that I already have an entry in custom.css for MMM-NetworkScanner. I tried your suggestion as a separate entry. Am I supposed to incorporate it into the existing entry?

body {
margin: 20px;
height: calc(100% - 40px);
width: calc(100% - 40px);
}

.MMM-NetworkScanner .fa-ul {
margin-left: 2px;
}

.MMM-WunderGround .max-temp {
color: #f66;
}

I tried this after going the custom.css route and it did not work.

Thank you for your suggestion

Strawberry-3.141 deserves an award. He went above and beyond in helping me customize the NetworkScanner module for me. Apparently, he is a genius, and willing to work well past midnight to help someone (me) with their MM. You have my highest praise.

All credit for this custom.css goes to Strawberry-3.141
}
.MMM-NetworkScanner .fa-ul {
margin-left: 2px; /* This aligned NetworkScanner to the left margin /
width: 130px; / If you remove this line it will be the same width as the widest module in the region, this can lead to a big gap, thats why i limited it to 130px if you add devices with longer names you might want to increase this value */
}

.MMM-NetworkScanner .fa-li {
position: relative; /* This put the icon on the right side */
float: right;
left: initial;
}

I dreamed it. He made it happen.

The icon is on the left by default

strawberry 3.141

@slametps the space on the left ogf the icon or the space between the icon and the name?
