MMM-doomsDay - The countdown module,

zdenek

hi all
is there way how to countdown to repeating annivesary? smthg like

config: {
        doomsDay: "XXXX-12-24 24:00:00", // YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, Do not alter the time, just the date
        toWhat: "X-MASS",
        
        // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
    }

? for x-mass (for kids), marriage anniversary, yearly TAX payment…

thanks,
Zdeněk

@zdenek Even though I think it’s possible with a few changes to the code, I don’t think this would fit the scope of this module, which is to manually set a countdown to one specific event (noteven a few, right?) but not for a whole list of calendar dates.

Even if the code ignores the year and just always shows the next event, does it make sense to have it display “364 days left” right the next day?

Anyway, if you want to do that, I’d suggest adding:

    doomsDay: "2018-12-24 24:00:00",
    yearlyEvent: true,
    toWhat: "X-Mass"

The most simple simple change to the code would be to add this at line 48:

if (this.config.yearlyEvent && daysLeft < = 0) {
    var diff = now.getFullYear() - doomsday.getFullYear();
    // update doomsday:
    doomsDay.setFullYear(d.getFullYear() + diff);
    // calculate again:
    timeparser = Date.parse(doomsDay) - Date.parse(now);
    daysLeft = Math.floor(timeparser/(1000*60*60*24));
}

(remove the space between “< =” … )
I didn’t test this, though, (and I don’t recommend it).

Is it possible to add more than 1 event and the module switches between the events with fade in and fade out?

See https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CountEvents It could be done with group feature.

Hello,

first of all thank you for the great modules. I am currently using it to display the time until my vacation.

Since I speak German, I made a few changes in the code. But these are lost after an update and I copy & paste them back. Is there a better way to make these changes than fiddling around in the code?

I change:

ORIGINAL: headerD.innerHTML = this.config.toWhat + "</br>";
MY:       headerD.innerHTML = this.config.toWhat;

ORIGINAL: timeLeft.innerHTML = daysLeft + " " + this.config.singular;
MY:       timeLeft.innerHTML = this.config.singular;

ORIGINAL: timeLeft.innerHTML = daysLeft + " " + this.config.plural;
MY:       timeLeft.innerHTML = " noch " + daysLeft + " " + this.config.plural;
