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.

OK - thanks for the reply anyway!

Hi all

To make MMM-page-indicator work with MMM-Page-Selector, we must add MMM-page-indicator in to pages

{
			module: "MMM-page-indicator",
			position: "bottom_bar",
			"pages": {"Home": "bottom_bar", "News": "bottom_bar","Weather": "bottom_bar","Entertaiment": "bottom_bar","Smarthome": "bottom_bar","System": "bottom_bar"},	
          	config: {
			pages: 6,
			}
		},

@Johans

pages: "all",

You forgot the quotation mark before and after pages

"pages": "all",

I love this module especially in use together with the MMM-navbar.
Is there any config using existing code that will let me make it return me to “default” page after a given period of time after changing page?

[Veldrovive]

@Brandenborg
This is not a default function of this module. However, if you can edit a small amount of code, it should be easy to implement.
Just copy these lines of code right after line 235 of MMM-Page-Selector.js. This lines should be selectPage(payload);

clearTimeout(self.default_timeout);
if(![0, this.config.defaultPage].includes(payload)){
    self.default_timeout = setTimeout(() => {
        selectPage(this.config.defaultPage);
    }, TIME)
}

Then just replace TIME with the number of milliseconds you want to remain on the page before it automatically switches back to default. You may also have to change the 0 in the if statement if your default page isn’t at the 0th position.

[Brandenborg]

@Veldrovive thanks a lot. I should manage that.
I recon the 0 position is the first page I define the contents of?

[Veldrovive]

@Brandenborg
The 0 should be the position of your default page in the page list. The furthest left is 0.

[Brandenborg]

@Veldrovive
Thanks. And thank you for a really useful module!

[Veldrovive]

@Brandenborg
The latest version of this module now has this as a (Not very well tested) feature.
You can now specify a restoreDefault prop in the MMM-Page-Selector config with the number of seconds you want before it returns to the default page.

Hi first of all thanks for this great module, Works great. I wanto to remotely change the pages which works with this commands:

http://ip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=PAGE_DOWN
http://ip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=PAGE_UP

But if I want to go to a specific page it does noct work with this command:

http://ip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification="SELECT_PAGE"&payload="0"

Can somebody tell me whats wrong?

[Veldrovive]

@m1scha
Hello, glad you’re enjoying the module.

I am assuming that your page has some name that is not "0".

I haven’t extensively tested with magic mirror remote, but I imagine the issue is with setting payload to be a string. When it gets a string, MMM-Page-Selector assumes it is the name of the page, not a page index. If an integer is sent, it assumes it is a page index.

I don’t know how remote works, but you might be able to use
http://ip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=“SELECT_PAGE”&payload=0

Or you could specify your page name as
http://ip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=“SELECT_PAGE”&payload=“YOUR_PAGE_NAME”

Hi, thanks for you reply.
I tested this in several variations, but I get a sucess Message, but change of page.

[Veldrovive]

@m1scha
I checked out MMM-Remote-Control and it is just a problem with string representations.

remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=“SELECT_PAGE”&payload=0 sends the literal notification “SELECT_PAGE” including the quotes. A more correct request would be remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=SELECT_PAGE&payload=Main which would switch the the page called main.

However, in order to support other modules, pages are 1 indexed by notification so to switch to the first page, you would send remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=SELECT_PAGE&payload=1

Strings that are numbers are handled correctly by MMM-Page-Selector.

@veldrovive Hello! I want to use this module for

1. An intro screen - only for 10 secs
2. Move into screen 2 - stay there

Can I only have one screen to have a time interval and the other doesn’t? If so how?

Good day @Veldrovive thanks for the brilliant work you have done on this, and your comments on this is really helpful.

I have an issue to get this going, and been researching and trying for the past two days with no success. I even tried using some of the users on this thread’s config as posted here, and loaded the modules they refer to, but I always end up with a blank page once I load the portion for MMM-Page-Selector.

As soon as I add this portion below, it only display a blank page, or if I comment it out, then the page will display again.

{
			disabled: false,
		        module: "MMM-Page-Selector",
		        position: "top_bar",
		        config: {
			        defaultPage: "Page1",
		                displayTitle: true,
			        selectPageNotif: ["SELECT_PAGE"],
		                incrementPageNotif: ["PAGE_UP"],
		                decrementPageNotif: ["PAGE_DOWN"],
   			     }
		},		

Any advice or even just guidance on where to look further would be greatly appreciated.

MMM-Page-Selector

can u show the messages from where u start MagicMirror

either npm start
or pm2

if using pm2,. then
pm2 logs --lines=100
will show the messages

blank screen is usually a missing library , see
