DailyDilbert


  • I know there is a dailyxkcd module which of course works great in the mirror since it is b/w by nature.

    Would there also be a possibility to build a Daily Dilbert.
    Here in Germany I’d also be interested in a Daily Nichtlustig.

    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 🙂

    Looking forward to your ideas!

    I’m currently working on a DailyDilbert module. I threw together a web scraper for it already, it’s just a matter of putting together the actual module component of it. 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.

  • Great news!

    Thanks, I’m looking forward to it!
    A website agnostic module may not be worth the work. I was only looking for DailyDilbert, dailyxkcd already exists.

    I know this topic is quite old, but I was trying to change the Dilbert module to work with the Garfield daily comic (see https://garfield.com/comic or RSS at https://www.comicsrss.com/preview/garfield). But I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do this (complete newbie).

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Hi! Is there anyone that could tell me how to shrink the size of the DailyDilbert comic?

  • @maximillium I did it like this but had to search for a while as well.

    You can put this in your custom.css and use whatever value you prefer

    .MMM-DailyDilbert #dilbert-content {
  width: 900px;
}

    A tip if you’re interested:
    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.
