birthdaylist - discontinued ?

[rkorell]

@sdetweil indeed - should have done this at the begin, sorry:

// Geburtstagsliste 
// Gelesen wird: ~/MagicMirror/modules/birthdaylist/data/bdl.csv

		{ 
	        
	        module: "birthdaylist",
	        disabled: false,
	        position:'top_right',  
	        config: {
						dimmEntries: false,  // true: dims entries and the associated symbol when the date has expired. false: dont display entries and the associated symbol when the date has expired.
						initialLoadDelay: 0, // How many seconds to wait on a fresh start up.
						updateDelay: 5,      // How many seconds after midnight before a refresh
						currentMonthOnly: false,  // will show birthdays for the current month only if true
						maxEntries: 3,	     // maximum entries to show, default is all
						dateFormat: '',	     // date format for birthday (default is none), could be 'Do' for 'Sep 12th'
						ageFormat:'',	     // some format string for the persons age, '[ n ]'  n will be replace by age value
						withMonth: true ,    // then true, add the month display as part of the date field, 
						debug:true,
	                }
		},

warmest regards,

Stefan, Jürgen and Chrizzy are shown - which is correct, as far as I understand the parameters.

[sdetweil]

@rkorell correct, same as what i see. no fault tho

the init message appears to be an MagicMirror bug
i opened https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/issues/3708

[rkorell]

@sdetweil OK; thanks.
this is regarding the init error.
Yesterday night birthdaylist disappeared again.
And my initial finding is at least reproducable:
Birthdaylist disappears from physical screen (connected via HDMI) and from VNC remote session.
BUT: In webbrowser it disappears NOT:

If I do a reload in Webbrowser - instantly the birthdaylist appears on screen as well as in VNC session.

console log shows:
birthdaylist received a system notification: MODULE_DOM_UPDATED

I had assumed that I can find all of the console logs in the logfiles in $HOME/.pm2/logs but this is not true.

Any idea regarding this discrepancy?

Thanks again a LOT for your kind and great support!
Warmest regards,
Ralf

(sorry for the rubbish Browser - rendering but I’m not able (or too stupid) to scale this correctly)

[sdetweil]

@rkorell ok, that message comes in response to a module updating its content. but I see a bug in my code i cant get to today

to work around it add another config parm for the module

debugging:true,

you will get additional messages during setup and nightly refresh (5 seconds after midnight by default)

maybe its not a bug, but a document error

[rkorell]

@sdetweil OK; cool.“workaround” is OK for me :-)

so

debug: true,

AND
debugging:true,

both in your module?

Again: Thanks a LOT.
Ralf

[sdetweil]

@rkorell yes, both

[rkorell]

@sdetweil OK, thanks.
Have done.

[sdetweil]

@rkorell you should have a couple days on redraw now, does it still disappear?

Can you show the new debug info

[rkorell]

Dear Sam , @sdetweil - tahns for following up!!!

@rkorell you should have a couple days on redraw now, does it still disappear?
No. With the “debugging” switch I did not see a disappearing again .

Can you show the new debug info

Yes, for sure, I can see nothing “spectacular”…

Can you derive something from this information?

Warmest regads,
Ralf
