Awesome! Happy to see that this was created as a module.

I have to comment out // autoInfoPosition: true,… if not it just says loading and never does, and it does not move either. Otherwise, great update! Love the changes.

I’m loving the Info Box addition now that it shows. I’ve hid the album cover and title because I’m not that organized.

I like how autoInfoPosition allows it to move around to prevent burn-in.

2 requests-

1. A way to select which corners it shows in.
   I have other modules in top left and right that overlap with the info box. It would work better if it would just go back and forth on the bottom left and right.
   I don’t think it would be hard to implement, (but I’m not a JS expert). I think if you changed the autoInfoPosition property to be a list (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right) instead of a boolean and then based on the list you could populate the array with the necessary locations.

2. A way to control the format of the date (X years ago). I’d prefer to see the actual date of the photo.

Sorry if I’m out of line. This is one of the favorite modules in my house.

Thanks.

You can locate it by CSS. I wrote some example on tip section. read the readme

It could also be controllable by configuration. Read the readme again.

@Sean thanks. Will do.

@Sean Totally forgot the date formatting (took me a while to see the infobox and I’d forgotten that was in the config). Thanks for pointing that out.

With the location of the infobox though I’d still like it to move around to prevent burn-in. If I set the position in CSS it’s static. That’s why I was looking at trying a different way. Can I use the callbackfunction to set multiple locations? I’d like it to go back and forth between bottom left and right. I tried modifying the Tip code you had so that the CSS would do that, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I can tweak JS a lot better than I can tweak CSS.

@orayoflighto Same problem for me did you find any solution? Always Loading…after last update

[zolabus]

@zolabus
My config is

{
  module: "MMM-GooglePhotos",
  position: 'middle_center',
  config: {
    albums: ["Noi"], 
    updateInterval: 1000 * 60,  
    sort: "random",
    showWidth: "426px",
    showHeight: "320px"    
  }
},

@zolabus please use the markup around config, or code

triple backtic (on US keyboard to left of the 1 key) on a separate line before and after

@gonzonia

autoInfoPosition: can have callback function to adjust the position.
By default, GPHOTO_INFO would have these value;

#GPHOTO_INFO {
  position:absolute;
  top: var(--top);
  left: var(--left);
  bottom: var(--bottom);
  right: var(--right);
  margin:10px;
  ...

so if your callback autoInfoPosition(album, photo) might return ['10px', '10px', 'none', 'none'], it will be the same with;

#GPHOTO_INFO {
  position:absolute;
  top:  10px;
  left:  10px;
  bottom: none;
  right: none;
  margin:10px;
  ...

You can add some randomized generated value as returns per photo, It will be a help.

@sdetweil Sorry I don’t understand if is a suggestion for my problem or how to post…
Thanks

[sdetweil]

@zolabus how to post

[gonzonia]

@Sean Thanks. I think I have it working. Here’s what I used.

autoInfoPosition: (album, photo)=> {
					var boolRightLeft= Math.floor(Math.random() * 2);
					if (boolRightLeft == 1) {
						return ['none', '0', '0', 'none'] // This will show photo info bottom-left corner.
					}else{
						return ['none', 'none', '0', '0'] // This will show photo info bottom-right corner.
					}
			}

This new version works great. Thanks for all your effort. Is it possible to rotate the photo (similar to rotation of sticky on MMM-Memo) so that it looks like a photo on a cork board. I would like to rotate it ± 20 degrees.

@roccodicarlo did you reinstall everything? Because I have loading…forever…

[roccodicarlo]

Yes I reinstalled everything

[roccodicarlo]

@Sean How would it be possible to run multiple instances so that I can have two picture frames displayed?

@roccodicarlo
Sorry, impossible. Not designed for that.
