Hey up Amigo… Nice Module…

Hi johnny. How are you? And thank you.

Can you clarify for me?

The source data I am using for this module is randomized by the API site itself and it only changes the drink once a day, based on the date. So, even though the default updateInterval is one hour, the source wont update until it sees the date has changed.

Is there any way to have the cocktails like Compliments rotation, but obviously slower… to say, about 10mins each cocktail?

There is, however, if I were to do that (I don’t have any plans to) then the drinks would no longer be random (I like that) and the drinks would display in the order of the archive. (Example: All drinks in alphabetical order. A’s, then B’s, then C’s and so on).

And is it possible to add to the list? I have a good few that I doubt will be on your list, but wouldn’t mind adding them into my mirror list

I don’t think so. Not as things are. If the data for all the drinks was a local file that was included with the module then it would be possible but the data comes from the API site. I might revisit this module at some point to see what I can do to improve it. It is my very first module and I would be remiss if I didn’t thank @cowboysdude for his help, patience and guidance.

@johnnyboy said in MMM-Cocktails:

but I would have liked one that randomises every so often > to see whats on offer.

I actually went and checked the API source again (just for you Amigo) and the database is NOT a single source which would be simple enough to implement what you are asking for. There are at least 26 sources (A-Z) for alcohol and 26 more for non-alcohol and a slew of others (name, ID #, vodka, gin, whiskey, and on and on etc etc). I’ve looked for another API but this one seems to be it.

I didn’t look at the code, yet, but I think I see a possible issue (just from the image):
Either they forgot the grenadine juice in the ingredient list – or you’re cutting off the ingredient list too short (after 5 elements).

From a Web Design standpoint I’d also suggest using “left-aligned”, or maybe “justified” for the receipt.

Well, I imagine there are more than a few mistakes in this module. It was my very first, 9 months ago. Three months before that I didn’t know what a Raspberry Pi was. I have absolutely no background in code. I’m a retired police officer that finds this stuff very interesting, fun and fascinating. I’ve learned quite a bit in 1 year. Not bad for an old guy and grandfather of 2, if I do say so myself. I’m still amazed that I can make any of this work. :-)

Feel free to make any corrections you think are necessary. Then, load the module, mix a drink, throw it back, and chill. :-)

Peace!

Corrected an error that was being thrown after the last modification. It didn’t stop the module from running but who wants to see those ugly red errors in the console? Not me. Hell no! :-)

Peace
