         highlightWeekend: false // highlightWeekend if desired, set to true. 
	}
}

Many thanks to kirash for the inspiration with the monthly_calendar module, sdetweil and lavolp3 for the help in coding and CSS work. Without your help, this would just be a pipe dream.

This is a basic module, but I felt it was good enough for release to the public.

Please, if you have any suggestions for improvement, let me know, I’m learning Javascript and CSS as I write this, and I dream of much bigger things.

~~Localization is provided by moment.js and controlled by the master language of MagicMirror. Please file any errors with localizations as bugs with the moment.js team - https://github.com/moment/moment/~~

Please see github for version info and further instructions.

@tippon To speed reinstall - I have my config.js and custom.css symlinked to a common location outside the MagicMirror tree, and a bash script setup to clone and npm install every module I use, and reinstall the symlinks.

easy peasy…

My system backs that up nightly to a private github repository, and bam quick and dirty way to get my system back running when my pi crashes.

MagicMirror Module to display clocks from multiple time zones

After not getting an answer on Sean’s EXCEPTIONAL worldclock module (His first) from the new maintainer, I decided to fork it and start working on it myself. As such, I present to you “MMM-Worldclock”… It’s mostly Sean’s work, with a few fixes here and there right now.

This will be fully supported, much in the spirit of Sean’s work.

This module is derived from default MagicMirror module ‘clock’ and modified. Thanks to michaelteeuw.
This module displays times from around the world.
Modified fork of worldclock by eouia, renamed and improved.

Installation

1. Execute the following commands to install the module:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules # navigate to module folder
git clone https://github.com/BKeyport/MMM-Worldclock # clone this repository

2. Then, add the following into the modules section of your config/config.js file:

{
  module: 'MMM-Worldclock',
  position: 'top_left', // This can be any of the regions, best results in top_left or top_right regions
  config: {
    // See 'Configuration options' for more information.

    timeFormat: 'hh:mm A', //defined in moment.js format()
    style: 'top', //predefined 4 styles; 'top', 'left','right','bottom'
    offsetTimezone: null, // Or you can set `Europe/Berlin` to get timegap difference from this timezone. `null` will be UTC timegap.
    clocks: [
      {
        title: "Home",
      },
      {
        title: "HOLLYWOOD", // Too long title could cause ugly text align.
        timezone: "America/Los_Angeles", //When omitted, Localtime will be displayed. It might be not your purporse, I bet.
        flag: "us",
      },
      {
        timezone: "Asia/Seoul",
      },
    ]
  }
},

Of course, you should change the configuration values for your purpose.

for configuration options see github.

Updates:

2020-08-06 (BKeyport) Fixed timeFormat per clock to work properly.
2019-02-24 (Sean) offsetTimezone is added.
2017-08-25 (sean) supports MMM-TelegramBot (https://github.com/eouia/MMM-TelegramBot) command /worldclock is added
2017-08-10 (sean) Country flags are supported. HTML/CSS Structures are refined.

** Note: telegram bot may not work in this version, I did not modify that code in the slightest, however, if it’s relying on the module name, it’s broken. I’ll fix it if it gets reported to me.

Thanks to Seongnoh Sean Yi’s (eouia) for his exceptional module and all the wonderful support he’s done over the years. I wouldn’t have the knowledge I have without Sean’s help.

sudo Raspi-config 

Advanced Options -> GL Drivers -> Legacy.

“legacy” and “normal” drivers are the same thing.

The problem with having the mirror and the sensor so close is that the heat from the monitor and the pi itself will mess with the readings of the sensor.

@MMRIZE I’d love to see a plugin store and/or marketplace of sorts. Some other projects uses NPM with a fancy front end web to do so, much like some modules use(d) a web interface to set up the initial config or adjust configs (Sam’s config module, MMM-RTSP, etc)

This would be an ideal marketplace (Simple, to the point, shows everything a user needs) :

Then when the user wants to config:

Homebridge is one of the better ways of doing things, IMO.

Becky Stern walks us through her Magic Mirror design build, including disassembling a monitor, building a frame, etc. It’s a cool setup.

One of the best commands to know is

 npm run config:check

Start at the topmost error and work your way down the file - it’s got lots of problems, but is easily fixed. Also, I highly recommend a graphical type editor if possible - Geany is what I use.

I installed samba on my magic mirror so I can edit with the PC version of Geany and save it right to the Pi. It’s great.

Take a look into https://github.com/MMM-CalendarExt2/MMM-CalendarExt2

It can make your calendars dance.

Really.

FWIW, in the future,

Open a terminal
Type cd MagicMirror and press Enter
Now you’re in the MagicMirror directory
Type npm run config:check and press Enter
MagicMirror will now check your config

@ASteinsdoerfer having suffered the same issue - there’s a slight formatting difference between your LICENSE file and mine (other than copyright name). Therefore, I think Kristjan is being too picky on the file.

Maybe we can get a rethink on this.

I still take my mirror displays and put them back into X11 mode. It’s what I understand, it’s what allows me to do what I want to do.

@khrusher It’s something on Google’s end, I’d bet. Gmail was also acting up for extensions - losing permissions within a week or so.

Google updating their security and breaking access.

@mmmallday Neat!

@jaimegarzont lots of different camera tools. Pretty easy.

@dathbe Thank you. I’ve wanted to install this module again, but I have worries about longevity.

@rkorell I haven’t had any issues - it spreads the heat out much more than many of the setups, but it does work in keeping the system running without much noise. This is on a RasPi 5 that runs two mirrors - one with pages flipping all the time, the other showing camera feeds. Very process intensive. I got it initially because the pi was going to be visible - if I was going to use it in the config I have now, I’d likely go with something with a large heat sink and a quiet (Noctura?) fan.

@rkorell Mine is in a https://argon40.com/products/argon-one-v3-case-for-raspberry-pi-5 case, hidden behind the TV.

@sdetweil … depends on how to define bad actor. We’ve not had any developers that have used the platform in a bad way with their modules, yes…

@Kelemvor I wouldn’t know the details on that part of the thing - I let my calendar spew the entire of the data download - it don’t hurt a thing.
