    • RE: Wunderlist acess token

      @shgmongohh

      Sebastian -
      I used https://a.wunderlist.com/api/v2/lists for the APP URL
      I used http://localhost:8080 for the Auth Callback

      it worked - for a while (I changed my password and just requested a new key)

      Give it a try & let me know

    • RE: MMM-Remote-Control on LINUX box (NOT RPi)

      @Jopyth
      It would probably help if I installed it into MODULES instead of into the ROOT directory
      (as a matter of fact, it helped a LOT!)

      DUH. Sorry to have wasted your time. My bad :8ball:

    • RE: Failed at the magicmirror@2.0.0 start script 'electron js/electron.js'.

      @Jakllo
      I initially had that problem too - you need to be logged in as PI - not root.
      I’d suggest starting all over: it really wont take that long. Follow the
      tutorial @strawberry-3-141 mentioned (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial) to the letter. It was written by @KirAsh4 & made all of my problem go away. I have now done it 4 times, getting it done in less than an hour from unpacking to having it all run!

      My raspberry all of a sudden even connected via WiFi, and I am expecting my hair to grow back any day now.

      I’m telling you - pure magic, these guys.

      All the best

      THIS is the setup that worked GREAT for me:

      Really - even someone like me could not mess it up.

    • Alternating Modules to save on real estate

      There are now so many wonderful modules out there that my MM is a bit crowded :)

      So the logical question arises: might it be possible to alternate two modules in one location?

      I’m thinking along the lines of
      postion: top_left
      {module 1 = weather
      module2 = tasklist
      switchtime = 120 seconds}
      and every two minutes weather and tasklist would alternate.

      Thanks,
      Karl

    • RE: Display modules in a carousel

      @PointPubMedia
      I like @barnabycolby 's version (ie exempting all but the ones you want to rotate) a lot.
      But here is something KirAsh4 made for me a while ago
      https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/373/alternating-modules-to-save-on-real-estate/3
      that will do the job too - and it will let you learn a bit java along the way

      Enjoy

    • RE: Alternating Modules to save on real estate

      @KirAsh4
      Thanks! I messed around a bit with it - here is what I came up with. (and yes, 99.999% is yours!)
      Still, here it is for anyone else who wants to play with it. But ALL credit goes to @KirAsh4

      This works best for me for MMM-Wunderground and MMM-Wunderlist - which I keep at top-right.
      a) my config.js extract:

                      {
                              module: 'my_swap',      // as supplied by KirAsh4
                              config: {
                                      showsecs: 30,   // seconds each module is shown (default =30)
                                                      // 30 is a "relaxed" speed
                                      fadems: 4000,   // fade time in ms (default = 4000)
                                                      //  4000 is also very relaxed - no coffee yet.
                                      modA: 'MMM-WunderGround',  // both modules need to be listed NEXT
                                      modB: 'MMM-Wunderlist'     // they should be of similar size, 
                                                                 // and in the same location.
                                                                 // These two are _prefect_ 
                                      }
                      },
                      {
                              module: 'MMM-WunderGround',
                              position: 'top_right',
                              config: {
                                      apikey: '****',
                                      pws: '****',
                                      lang: 'EN',
                                      fctext: '1',
                                      fcdaycount: "5",

                                      fade: true
                              }
                      },
                      {
                              module: 'MMM-Wunderlist',
                              position: 'top_right', 
                              config: {
                                      accessToken: '****',
                                      clientID: '****',
                                      lists: [
                                              'MagicMirror'
                                              ],
                                      interval: 60,
                                      fadePoint: 0.9,
                                      fade: true
                                      }
                      },
      

      Then the file my_swap.js ( in \modules\my_swap) needs to look like this:

      Module.register("my_swap",{
      
        // Default module config.
        defaults: {
              modA: "MMM-NonExistA",  // if we dont know the EXACT NAME, we don't do anything!
              modB: "MMM-NonExistB",  //    ="=
              showsecs: 30,           //  as in compliments
              fadems: 4000            //    ="=
        },
      
        // Define required scripts.
        getScripts: function() {
          return ["moment.js"];
        },
      
        start: function() {
          Log.log("Starting module: " + this.name);
          this.DOMloaded = 0;
          this.isHidden = 0;
      
          var self = this;
          setInterval(function() {
            self.swapModules();
          }, 1000);
        },
      
        notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) {
          if (notification === 'DOM_OBJECTS_CREATED') {
            this.DOMloaded = 1;
          }
        },
      
        // swapModules.
        swapModules: function() {
      
          var now = moment();
          var self = this;
      
              var mod1 = this.config.modA     // yank from config file
              var mod2 = this.config.modB
              var fadems = this.config.fadems
              var showsecs = this.config.showsecs

            if (this.DOMloaded) {
              if (self.isHidden) {
                MM.getModules().exceptModule(this).enumerate(function(module) {
                  if (module.name === mod1) {
                    module.hide(fadems, function() {
                      MM.getModules().exceptModule(this).enumerate(function(module) {
                        if (module.name === mod2) {
                          module.show(fadems, function() {
                          });
                        }
                      });
                    });
                  }
                });
                self.isHidden = 0;
              } else {
                MM.getModules().exceptModule(this).enumerate(function(module) {
                  if (module.name === mod2) {
                    module.hide(fadems, function() {
                      MM.getModules().exceptModule(this).enumerate(function(module) {
                        if (module.name === mod1) {
                          module.show(fadems, function() {
                          });
                        }
                      });
                    });
                  }
                });
                self.isHidden = 1;
              }
            }
          }
        }
      });
      

      Works great for me! Thanks again for the clean code to play with. You should submit it as an official module.
