MMM-Instagram - Pull and animate photos from Instagram feed

kapsolas

Hi,

I have not looked into autoresizing an image. It is on my list to get to when I have some time.

The image at this point is not being resized, I just take it and display it as it comes from instagram.
Videos will auto play when I get to them as well.

Thanks!

@dr0pb0x , @kapsolas I had a quick look at your code (Not a fan of the bit.ly link) and if you go about displaying the Instagram image this way:

	var imageWrapper = document.createElement("img");
	imageWrapper.src = tempimpage.photolink;
	imageWrapper.style.maxWidth = this.config.instaMaxWidth;
	imageWrapper.style.maxHeight = this.config.instaMaxHeight;
	imageDisplay.appendChild(imageWrapper);

you should be able to specify two parameters instaMaxWidth and instaMaxHeight that the user can change in their config.file so the beginning of your MMM-Instagram.js file would look like this:

    defaults: {
        format: 'json',
        lang: 'en-us',
        id: '',
        animationSpeed: 1000,
        updateInterval: 60000, // 10 minutes
        access_token: '',
        count: 200,
        min_timestamp: 0,
        loadingText: 'Loading...',
        instaMaxWidth: '100%',
        instaMaxHeight: '100%'
    },

Now, any user of your module could define their own maximum image width and height, either by specifying an absolute figure like ‘300px’ or in relative terms using ‘20%’ or the like. I’ve created a pull request, but I suggest you test my code first as I don’t have an Instagram account or Instagram API key to test it.

You can use my fork to do so: https://github.com/yo-less/MMM-Instagram

@yo-less unfortunately this didn’t work :( I even tried setting it to 1px/1% just to make sure but the images didnt change in size

@dr0pb0x Have you tried using my forked version here:

@dr0pb0x I’ve tried it with my forked version after changing the module to simply retrieve any picture from the internet. It’s working fine.
The only limitation is that you can’t set the MaxHeight in relative terms (percentages), other than that, it works as intended as far as I can tell without actually using the API.

@yo-less I just had a chance to try it out and it still doesn’t work for me. Could it possibly be Instagram’s API?

Is there anyway to display images from my home server? And do someone have an idea how I should write the code?

yo-less

@dr0pb0x Anything is possible, but I doubt it. Please have @kapsolas help you with this, as I don’t have any direct way of testing it. As far as I’m concerned my code adjustments should work.

Awesome work! My SO is very pleased with this idea. You might want to add a screenshot to the repo.
