access to config language setting

sdetweil

how do I get access to the overall MM language setting in config.js in my module? that value is not passed to each modules config

@sdetweil
My best guess: "MagicMirror/translations/translations.js"

sdetweil

@justjim1220 no… that is available translations… I mean the value in config.js

	port: 8086,
	ipWhitelist: [], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
	               // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
	               // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
	               // or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
	               // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],

	language: "en",  < ------------ this value
	timeFormat: 12,
  timezone: "Europe/Oslo",
	units: "imperial",

the calendar code uses this value, BUT doesn’t get it config.language is not set (cause config comes from the module block)

@sdetweil
from what I can tell, modules containing the ability to change the language have their own translations folder.

Other than that, have you tried language = this.language

@sdetweil

NVM, I just tried it and it di not work.

@sdetweil

Which calendar module are you referring to?

sdetweil

@justjim1220 the default calendar module

the code in calendar.js does

	// Set locale.
		moment.updateLocale(this.config.language, this.getLocaleSpecification(this.config.timeFormat));

but it doesn’t have any value for this.config.language

as language is not in the MODULE config…
I also want to set timezone… as the user I am helping cannot get the clock and calendar to sync time offsets

if I copy those values to the calendar config block than they are accessible…

All I can find is to put this in your js file:

getTranslations: function() {
	return {
		en: "translations/en.json",
		de: "translations/de.json"
	}
}

@sdetweil

for timezone:
Add this to your defaults in the modules js: timezone: "America/Chicago"

Then add this in the code:

 getScripts: function() {
	return [ 
            "moment.js", "moment-timezone.js"
        ];
},

and this:

var now = moment();
	if (this.config.timezone) {
	now.tz(this.config.timezone);
}

sdetweil

@justjim1220 no… you are not understanding me…

how do i get the USERS config for language and timezone? not system time, etc…

user is in Norway…

this.config.language

doesn’t exist in the calendar module… so the set locale will fail…
