MMM-Page-Selector: A page switcher that can set positions of modules

Veldrovive

I copied your config and it actually allowed me to catch a couple of bugs that I will be working to fix over the next few days. The main one that you are having trouble with stems from the fact that multiple modules with the same name are being used. I don’t know why I didn’t think about that during development, but it causes problems now. I’m going to fix that up and I’ll post again when it’s done. It’s a bit of a large change, however, so it probably won’t be done for at least 24 hours.

Hey, just no hectic and stress.
Then I’m just the beta tester ;-)

What long matures will be good.
Thank you

Veldrovive

Ok, changes have been made and now the module is much more resilient.
The second method for setting up pages has become pretty powerful now, but that came with it becoming more complicated. I would suggest reading the readme section carefully before trying to implement it.
If you have any question, I am more than happy to clarify and edit the readme.

Wow, that was fast.
Will it morning look at rest, and test.
But what I read so far looks like this for me:
First list all the modules as before.
Below that, under “pages:” and the page names, insert the module names with location.

And I have to give the modules a name (name:) which is then used in pages: for the position.

So roughly right?

Oh! One question:
How implement more then 1 module in exclusion?

exclusion: [
{
"module": "MMM-Cursor"
},
{
"MMM-page-indicator",
    position: "bottom_center"
}
]

Veldrovive

So the exclusions array takes a list of selectors. Those selectors could be the name of a module (Like MMM-Cursor) or they could be the prop name. Here’s some sample code:
This is the inside the module array:

{
    module: "MMM-page-indicator",
    name: "noHide",
    position: "bottom_center"
},

And then this is the exclusions:

[
    "noHide",
]

This one works because the name noHide is a selector.

You could also just use the name of the module:

[
    "MMM-Cursor",
]

because it is also just a selector.

The pages config also works off of selectors in the same way. noHide is a selector that you assign with the name prop while MMM-page-indicator is a selector that is assigned via the fact that it is the name of the module.

@veldrovive Thanks, for the reply. I finnaly did find the problem. It was as always a typo from my side. I have now konverted the config to the “second” config option which I like better as I can gather all the pages config in one section.
Thanks for a greate module :)

Veldrovive

Ah good. I’m glad that the changes I’m making are improving the module.
Thank you for the kind words.

@Veldrovive Installed your module, along with the MMM-page-indicator.
Page1 shows OK, but I can’t move to Page2.
What i’m doing wrong?
Here’s my config

	modules: [
		{
			module: "alert",
			pages: "all",
		},
		{
			disabled: false,
		        module: "MMM-Page-Selector",
		        position: "top_bar",
		        config: {
			    defaultPage: "Page1",
		            displayTitle: true,
			    selectPageNotif: ["SELECT_PAGE"],
		            incrementPageNotif: ["PAGE_UP"],
		            decrementPageNotif: ["PAGE_DOWN"]
		        }
		},		
		{
			disabled: false,
		        module: 'MMM-page-indicator',
		        position: 'bottom_bar',
			pages: "all",
		        config: {
		            pages: 3,
		        }
		},			
		{

			module: "updatenotification",
			position: "top_bar",
			pages: {"Page1": "top_bar"},
		},
		{
			disabled: false,
			module: "clock",
			position: "top_left",
			pages: {"Page1": "top_left"},
		},
		{
			disabled: false,
			module: "compliments",
			position: "lower_third",
			pages: {"Page2": "lower_third"},
		},
		{	
	                disabled: false,
	                module: 'MMM-Lunartic',
	                position: 'top_center', // Best in left, center, or right regions
		        pages: {"Page3": "top_center"},
	                config: {
		                mode: "rotating", // rotating or static
		                image: "current", // animation, current, DayNight or static
		                distance: "km", // miles or km
		                useHeader: false, // true if you want a header
		                header: "Huidige Maan stand", // Any text you want
		                maxWidth: "300px",
		                animationSpeed: 0,
		                rotateInterval: 15000,
			       }
	        },
		{
		        disabled: false,			
			module: 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow',
		        position: 'fullscreen_below',
			pages: {"Page1": "fullscreen_below"},
		        config: {
 		                imagePaths: ['modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow/Images/'],
		                transitionImages: true,
			        slideshowSpeed: 20000,  // 20 Seconds
			        //transitionSpeed: '2s',
		                randomizeImageOrder: true,
		                }
		},
		{
			module: 'MMM-Cursor',
			pages: "all",
		},
	]
};

I have installed MMM-Voice-Command as well, but I really don’t need voice for the moment so I didn’t add this in the config.

One small thing before I actually get into the meat of the issue. It is not necessary to specify the number of pages for MMM-page-indicator since it is overridden by the page selector.

While I was developing the new page system, I forgot about the very important issue of capitalization. Basically what was happening is that it was trying to switch to pages that did not exist. If you pull the update, everything should work fine.

@veldrovive Wow, that was a quick. Works fantastic now. Great job!! Thanks.
