if (typeof module !== "undefined") { module.exports = config; }

shows up on different boot ups?

any help please

@videogame95 which mmm-pages are you using?

[sdetweil]

@videogame95 the calendar will show every 40 seconds

Not for 10 seconds page 1
Yes for 10 seconds page 2
Not for 10 seconds page 3
Not for 10 seconds page 4
Repeat
Not for 10 seconds page 1

I don’t know that weather module. Does it restart when shown?
What is the refresh time for weather?

[videogame95]

The weather and the calendar both just in loading not coming up. I could try a different weather module any suggestions? their are different way of adding the pages look at 3rd party pages see which ways best to use .

any help please and thanks

[sdetweil]

@videogame95 yes there are two different ways of coding the pages

You can use the module names as you are doing

I always found this frustrating. Looking at a module config, I had to scroll back to the pages config to find out where it was and then scroll back to the module config, where was that?

So I documented the page classes approach

In pages
Call them useful names , page1,page2, mom, dad, kids, house

Then at each module after the module:
Add

classes:"page1”, 

Or whatever page (or space separated list of page names)
On the pages config fixed, I use “on_every_page”

This also solves the problem with multiple of same module on different pages(weather current on one forecast on another)

But I also am confused, as the latest pages config uses a different timing variable name?

[videogame95]

Thanks what are page position can i use as see that s missing and could not see
any on the list use could give me a list of position I can use in pages like top-left
would this be the correct way to write it in the position space? I’ve seen it on
other modules but can remember all the position .

thank for your help

[videogame95]

I have a copy of my config before adding page I’ve replaced it with that one so I can add the pages to that one if its working always make a copy before add any new modules.

thank again

@videogame95 positions are unchanged in pages

See https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/configuration.html#position

We can only show or hide modules
Pages module makes virtual pages by only showing selected modules in defined groups, hiding all the others

[sdetweil]

@videogame95 change the update time in pages to 20 seconds to test

20000 ( milliseconds)
