Default Weather Module Icon Position

[sdetweil]

@svenpisa said in Default Weather Module Icon Position:

Exactly! The MM should hang on the wall, but if I want to make changes, I want to access the Raspi / MM via WLAN and make the changes via my laptop and since I am not a programmer and like to have everything visually, I would like to mirror the MM or the OS on my laptop screen and preferably make the changes via the “Geany” tool.

i strongly recommend installing Winscp or Bitvise ssh clients on your windows machine. (both free)

these will give you BOTH the ssh window (for commands, installing updates and modules) AND a file manager window over the PI files (for editing files). Then you can double click to edit ON YOUR PC, with your PC EDITOR, and auto save back to the pi…

bitvise ALSO provides a window for drag/drop to copy files in either direction
great for copying log files from the pi…

i use notepad++ on my windows machine for editing but you can use visual studio code or whatever text editor you like… they don’t know the file is over ssh…

I NEVER edit ON the pi itself… only over ssh, and use one of the visual tools when I need to …

Thanks @sdetweil
It works… Was my mistake… i took a / instead of : between ip and port…
Looks great now.
Last question for that… Have you got a link for a tutorial how to use the developer mode?

[svenpisa]

@sdetweil i installed Bitvise now. The first view looks good… i will try it the next days!

Personally I use putty and do everything over command line. On my PC I use Notepad++ for working on files as well, then will copy and paste over to the ssh session.

[sdetweil]

@ZiggidyZ yeh, I used to do that too.

then I have 10 systems I work on, got to be too much copying.

[svenpisa]

Thank you guys for your tips and help. Now I only have one issue left.

How do I get the icons in the right place?

[sdetweil]

@svenpisa I don’t understand. you have mmm-wallpaoer selected, but weather icons in class list

[svenpisa]

@sdetweil I had taken the section to see the Custom.css and weather.css on the right side. Shouldn’t the wallpaper actually be displayed?

[sdetweil]

@svenpisa as I said, confused.

in custom.css do

html {
   cursor: default;
}

to turn on the mouse pointer over the mm content

then easier to see to select correct content

[svenpisa]

@sdetweil said in Default Weather Module Icon Position:

html {
cursor: default;
}

Is the screenshot better?

[sdetweil]

@svenpisa yes, better.

so that stuff for .weathericon from custom.css, I would click off each and see the effect.

as you mouse over the settings in the right column a checkbox will appear, that u can check to disable a setting

note .weather-icon applies to ALL of the icons.

the css selector clause (stuff before the {) WILL ALWAYS match every such item on the page. you can make it more specific to get fewer elements.

[svenpisa]

Thank you very much for your help.
I first had to read through your messages at my leisure and at the same time I tried to understand the messages parallel to the developer tool.

And lo and behold, it worked.

I have now split the weather module into two classes.

		{
			module: "weather",
			classes: "forecast",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Wettervorschau",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
				type: "forecast",
				location: "Hamburg",
				locationID: "2911xxx", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				apiKey: "c64bb3321848fe4e76163xxxxxxxxxc"
			}
		},
		{
			module: "weather",
			classes: "wetter",
			position: "top_center",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
				type: "current",
				location: "Hamburg",
				locationID: "2911xxx", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				apiKey: "c64bb3321848fe4e76163xxxxxxxxx"
			}
		},

You could then play around really well with each class in the developer tool and then find the right position.

For those who are interested. I have now made the following entries in the Custom.css so that it looks like this:

.forecast .weathericon {
position:absolute;	// absolute
z-index: 0;
height: 200px;
right: 120px;
margin-top: -65px; 
padding-left: 60px;
padding-top: 50px;
height: 35px;
}

.forecast .wi-day-sunny {
content: url("/css/icons/day.svg");
}

.forecast .wi-day-cloudy {
content: url("/css/icons/cloudy-day-1.svg");
}

.forecast .wi-rain {
content: url("/css/icons/rainy-6.svg");
}

forecast .wi-night-clear {
content: url("/css/icons/night.svg");
}

.forecast .wi-night-cloudy {
content: url("/css/icons/cloudy-night-2.svg");
padding-right: 15px;
padding-top: 10px;
}

.forecast .wi-cloudy {
content: url("/css/icons/cloudy.svg");
}

.forecast .wi-showers {
content: url("/css/icons/rainy-7.svg");
}

.forecast .wi-thunderstorm {
content: url("/css/icons/thunder.svg");
}

.forecast .wi-snow {
content: url("/css/icons/snowy-6.svg");
}

.forecast .wi-cloudy-windy {
content: url("/css/icons/cloudy-day-3.svg");
}

.forescast.wi-night-rain {
content: url("/css/icons/rainy-6.svg");
}

.forecast .wi-night-snow {
content: url("/css/icons/snowy-6.svg");
}

.forecast .wi-night-thunderstorm {
content: url("/css/icons/thunder.svg");
}

.forecast .wi-night-showers {

}

.forecast .wi-fog {
content: url("/css/icons/cloudy.svg");
}

.forecast .wi-night-alt-cloudy-windy {
content: url("/css/icons/cloudy-night-1.svg");
}

/* Aenderungen Wettervorhersage */
.wetter .weathericon {
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
margin-top: -33px;
padding-top: 20px;
left: 60px;	
}
	
.wetter .wi-day-sunny {
content: url("/css/icons/day.svg");
padding-left: 6px;
padding-top: 5px;
height: 50px;
}

.wetter .wi-day-cloudy {
content: url("/css/icons/cloudy-day-1.svg");
}

.wetter .wi-rain {
content: url("/css/icons/rainy-6.svg");
padding-left: 8px;
padding-top: 5px;
height: 45px;
}

.wetter .wi-night-clear {
content: url("/css/icons/night.svg");
}

.wetter .wi-night-cloudy {
content: url("/css/icons/cloudy-night-2.svg");
height: 50px;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-top: 7px;
}

.wetter .wi-cloudy {
content: url("/css/icons/cloudy.svg");
}

.wetter .wi-showers {
content: url("/css/icons/rainy-7.svg");
}

.wetter .wi-thunderstorm {
content: url("/css/icons/thunder.svg");
}

.wetter .wi-snow {
content: url("/css/icons/snowy-6.svg");
}

.wetter .wi-cloudy-windy {
content: url("/css/icons/cloudy-day-3.svg");
height: 45px;
padding-left: 8px;
padding-top: 7px;
}

.wetter .wi-night-rain {
content: url("/css/icons/rainy-6.svg");
padding-left: 8px;
padding-top: 5px;
height: 45px;
}

.wetter .wi-night-snow {
content: url("/css/icons/snowy-6.svg");
}

.wetter .wi-night-thunderstorm {
content: url("/css/icons/thunder.svg");
}

.wetter .wi-night-showers {
content: url("/css/icons/rainy-7.svg");
}

.wetter .wi-fog {
content: url("/css/icons/cloudy.svg");
}

.wetter .wi-night-alt-cloudy-windy {
content: url("/css/icons/cloudy-night-1.svg");
height: 50px;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-top: 7px;
}

We can therefore close the entry here

Thanks all again

[sdetweil]

@svenpisa awesome! thanks for the feedback.

[greedyvegan]

I have this issue too, the dev window says they’re the same class

but the classes are already different/labeled as forecast and weather in config

when I open everything in the developer window,
this is the one that highlights the icon I want to move “</span> == $0”

the current weather “sun” icon in the top module is the one I want to move,
but its labeled as the current weather condition, NOT the icon I want to move
when I uncheck the one I need, both icons from current weather and “today” from forecast both change

it’s labeled as “weather weather” , when I change that, they both change (current weather and forecast)

what am I doing wrong?

[sdetweil]

@greedyvegan yes, they are the same, that is why you need to add unique classes per my previous post, OR use the id value in custom css as the primary selector

#module_{number}_module-name

[greedyvegan]

@sdetweil

ok, so since this isn’t working, do I change the item “classes” or “type” ?

let’s say I change it to “weatherDAY” and “weatherWEEK”
in the css do I change it to

.weatherDAY .weathericon {
.weatherWEEK .weathericon {

so on and so forth?

I also saw you say IF you choose the module number, be careful when adding modules because the number will change.

@greedyvegan sorry i posted to an issue
