Change layout based on orientation?

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia there is a moduke that can
move dynamically
https://github.com/Toreke/MMM-Dynamic-Modules

but it needs notifications

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia or start a different instance on a different port for landscape

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil That’s a thought. I think I can probably adapt the Dynamic Modules to allow for a config option to adjust based on orientation and that gets triggered at the ALL_MODULES_STARTED notification from the core.

Let me fork that and see if I can make that work.

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia create your own module

send the notifications when it matters

lot easier

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil Maybe. I find it easier to build on someone else’s code. After I have some basic stuff functioning, I’ll look for a module template to work from. I’m also not sure the dynamic module will work (it’s 7 years old) so it might need to be updated anyhow.

@gonzonia all you need is a
notificationReceived
“DOM_OBJECTS_CREATED”
if the width is greater than the height its landscape
then loop thru the config

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil I’m going to make it more dynamic. There’s actually screen.orientation.type that works to get landscape vs portrait

@gonzonia sameo
