You use the iCloud album id as a config item.

source: “icloud:”,

The album id is simply the last bit in your iCloud shared album URL. It will look something like this:

https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#nUm83r5N13t+3r5

That’s not a real link, just an example.

Copy everything to the right of the #, basically nUm83r5N13t+3r5.

You must use a shared album and you have to set it to Public Website (anyone with the link can view the photos). That will allow you to generate the link. See: https://support.apple.com/en-us/108314

This is what a basic config will look like.

modules: [
  {
    module: "MMM-Wallpaper",
    position: "fullscreen_below",
    config: { // See "Configuration options" for more information.
      source: "icloud:nUm83r5N13t+3r5",
      slideInterval: 60 * 1000 // Change slides every minute
    }
  }
]

I have been reading through multiple forum posts and it seems like when someone gets the answer, they don’t break it down in a way that’s understandable.

I’m trying to add a button to a module like this:

https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-OnScreenMenu/issues

And use the button to call a keyboard like this:

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/12526/mmm-keyboard-a-virtual-touch-keyboard

I don’t understand where I’m supposed to put the notification and how it’s supposed to get called.

Apologies if this has been answered clearly, but I need a step by step break down because I’m just not getting it.

I need to understand:

• Where specifically to add the notification .
• How it’s supposed to be formatted. Does it need to be a new function or something if it’s going into a module.js?
• Does the other module need to be modified too?

I’m a newbie and managed to get multiple modules working, but I can’t seem to understand how to send notifications/call other modules.

I’d really like to use an on screen button module to call a keyboard and do some text entry, but having a heck of a time figuring this all out.

Thanks!

@sdetweil said in MMM-Keyboard (a virtual touch keyboard):

{
key: “uniqueKey”,
message: “test”
}

I’m having the same issue as the previous poster.

I can’t figure out how to put this into the config.js and get it to work. When I put the example as listed, my config won’t build.

Can you provide an example?

Explicitly: the module (doesn’t matter which, ideally one of the defaults) and how it looks when you implement this.

This is amazing! Thank you.

Do you know if the Google calendar option works with iCal/iCloud calendar?
