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

Hey @rudibarani,
If there are no errors being thrown, then I would make sure that you are on the development branch and not master as I am still not sure how stable some changes are so I am refraining from merging.
If that is not the problem, I would open up thenode_helper.js
file and putconsole.log()
statements in some places to make sure they are running correctly.- Line 30 should be
self.restorePage()
. I would put on right before that. If it never runs, then there is a problem with how the frontend is handling the config. - Line 38 should then be
jsonObj = JSON.parse(obj);
. I would print out the value ofjsonObj
right after that runs to see if thepage
key is in it. - Line 57 should then be
reject(err);
. I see that I accidentally didn’t include any debug information when this rejects so put a log that prints out the error directly before this.
If the problem isn’t immediately obvious, posting the output of those logs would go a long way to figuring this out.
- Line 30 should be

Dear @Veldrovive,
oh - I have to run and hide somewhere. I did forget to clone the development branch when setting up the Mac Mini. Sorry for bothering you with this :unamused_face:As always, if you do things right, they work :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:
You said you it would be a quick change to update the class list to contain the current page. If you have time to add this, it would help me a lot!
-
Ah right. I need to get around to making those changes. I’ll start on them in the morning.

@rudibarani,
Ok, the development branch now has support for the new class name changes. When a module is shown on a page, it will be given the classpage_{Current Page}
and then the class will be removed when the module is hidden. -

Hi, just made a fresh install, and applied your module and MMM-Page-indicator.Pages are shown, but page indicator and newsfeed module are not on the screen.
When I disbable MMM-Page-Selector, then Newsfeed & MMM-Page-indicator are visisble.As far as I understand, config is OK
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"], autoChange: { interval: 100, // Change page every 100 sec } } }, { module: "updatenotification", position: "top_bar", pages: {"Page1": "top_bar"}, }, { module: "clock", position: "top_left", pages: {"Page1": "top_left", "Page2": "top_left", "Page3": "top_left", "Page4": "top_left"}, }, { module: "compliments", position: "lower_third", pages: {"Page1": "lower_third", "Page2": "lower_third", "Page3": "lower_third", "Page4": "lower_third"}, }, { disabled: false, module: "MMM-rain-forecast", position: "top_right", // see mirror setting for options pages: {"Page1": "top_right"}, //header: "Regen Voorspelling", config: { lat: 50.908529, lon: 3.965639, pleaseWait: "Wachten a.u.b", noRainText: "Tot %s GEEN regen", fillColour: '#0074d9' // This is a blue color you can also use blue, cyan etc } }, { module: "newsfeed", position: "bottom_bar", pages: "all", config: { feeds: [ { title: "New York Times", url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml" } ], showSourceTitle: true, showPublishDate: true } }, { disabled: false, module: "MMM-page-indicator", position: "bottom_bar", pages: "all", config: { //pages: 4, // No need to set this } }, { module: 'MMM-Cursor', pages: "all", }, ]

@Johans,
Ah, I believe the confusion comes from the fact that old discussions on this forum do not reflect the current functionality of the module. I try not to make any changes that break old config files, but one was necessary.
In order to fix this config, you need to replace any instance ofpages: "all"
withpages: {"all": "some_position"}
New versions don’t require you to have aposition
prop at all and you can just use thepages
one.
For more information, refer to the README.
Hope this helps. -
@veldrovive said in MMM-Page-Selector: A page switcher that can set positions of modules:
pages: {“all”: “some_position”}
Thanks for the info, I should have read the README first. Sorry.

Thanks again for implementing the current page as “dynamic” class. If I get it right, you had to code procedures to add and remove the page class when switching pages.Ok, the development branch now has support for the new class name changes. When a module is shown on a page, it will be given the class
page_{Current Page}
and then the class will be removed when the module is hidden.Would it be possible to make these procedures accessible via notifications? I am still looking for a way to add and remove classes based on external triggers. A scheme could be like this:
Notification: "MMM_Page-Selector_Update_Class" Payload: {"add":["Module_1_Name:ClassA_to_add", "Module_2_Name:ClassB_to_add"], "remove":["Module_3_Name:ClassC_to_remove", "Module_4_Name:ClassD_to_remove"]}

If I am understanding what you are asking for correctly, this function seems to be out of the scope that Page-Selector encompasses. I would develop a module to include this functionality, but I have been inactive in the world of Magic Mirror as of lately. As it stands, I would post this request to the module suggestions forum or ask somebody to include it in a module that has a closer association with this type of purpose. MMM-Remote-Control could be a good candidate. -
@veldrovive
OK - thanks for the reply anyway!
