<p dir="auto">Would there also be a possibility to build a Daily Dilbert.<br />
Here in Germany I’d also be interested in a Daily Nichtlustig.</p>
<p dir="auto">Was thinking about catching the daily picture somehow and including it into an iframe. But I’m not good at this and someone surely knows a more elegant way :-)</p>
<p dir="auto">Looking forward to your ideas!</p>

<p dir="auto">Now it fits perfectly!!</p>
<p dir="auto">I’ve just have to make <strong>git pull</strong> inside the module folder. There’s no need to do <strong>npm install</strong></p>

<p dir="auto">Another question, I see that your module is not in the 3rd Party Modules of MM project</p>

Hi, please do a <code>git pull</code> (maybe also an <code>npm install</code> since I now introduced a package.json) and try it again.<br />
Had a small mistake in the image width description. Thanks for noticing!</p>
<p dir="auto">I guess I should “publish” this module here so we can move discussion and bugs to another thread.</p>

Glad to hear it and thank you for your efforts.<br />
With the current MMM-ComicStrips module, “garfield” and “peanuts” remain black.<br />
Also the parameter timeForDaily doesn’t seem to work for me. Only one comic is displayed the whole day.</p>

It’s not easy however, since the comics have different sizes.<br />
I’ll send a link for beta testing as soon as I’m finished.</p>

Thanks bhelper, that’s it.</p>
<p dir="auto">In my opinion it would be a nice option for the module if you could select multiple comics to be displayed at selectable intervals, not just one as in the current version. I find it hard to choose one ;)</p>

Try it out, it is very rough and there are several things still called “Dilbert” :-).</p>

<p dir="auto">I think it would make sense to eventually create a “ComicStrip” module and let the user choose between Dilbert, Garfield, xkcd and what else can be created. <a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/kjb085" aria-label="Profile: kjb085">@<bdi>kjb085</bdi></a> was already mentioning a website agnostic module.</p>
<p dir="auto">But I’d like to leave the decision to @andrecarlucci (or is it <a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/kjb085" aria-label="Profile: kjb085">@<bdi>kjb085</bdi></a>?) and/or <a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/blastitt" aria-label="Profile: Blastitt">@<bdi>Blastitt</bdi></a> who have put much more work into it.</p>

One of my (too many) projects currently is to create a module like MMM-WebScraper.<br />
However, I think it should be possible to take MMM-DailyXKCD or MMM-DailyDilbert as a start. There is a scraper included somehow, haven’t looked at the code yet.</p>
<p dir="auto">Then you could change the basic url to the Garfield comic.</p>
<p dir="auto">I’ll check it out as well.</p>

<p dir="auto">You can put this in your custom.css and use whatever value you prefer</p>
<pre><code>.MMM-DailyDilbert #dilbert-content {
  width: 900px;
}
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">A tip if you’re interested:<br />
If you open the mirror in your browser (I’m using chrome mirror_ip:8080) and open the developer’s console with F12 you can see all the css involved (in the “styles” tab). Then you can right-click on the image and press “investigate” or whatever it’s called in english and you can see all the css affecting this picture. You can even toggle properties on/off live. Just discovered all the possibilites with this function working on this problem.</p>

A website agnostic module may not be worth the work. I was only looking for DailyDilbert, dailyxkcd already exists.</p>

I was trying to think if there was a simple way to build a web scraping module to make it agnostic of the web site, but the only solutions I could come up with are more time intensive than I wish to spend on this. That being said, but you could probably modify the code to accommodate the other comic site you’re looking for once I publish MMM-DailyDilbert.</p>
