Using the module

To use this module, add it to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

	position: 'top_left', // can be any of the postions
	config: { // Optional - will default to 3 months, with one previous and one next. 
	  startMonth: -1, // Define when you start from current month (negative is before current, zero is current, positive is in future) 
         monthCount: 3, //  How many months to display 
         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.

@danybony Monitors without any on/off logos is gonna be a tough one - You’ll want to use HDMI sleep to power up and down the monitor or simply blank it (I’d go for the latter if you’re concerned about a “No Signal” image).

As for the others - you’ll have to experiment - sadly.

General advice:

Get a monitor with a bezel on all sides - why? No lopsided display when you pull it out of frame.

Get a monitor with the cables pointing out one side or the bottom. Why? Pointing out the back will cause issues in install and make it harder to make it compact.

Get a monitor with a built in power converter (110v/220v direct into monitor) - why? For compactness reasons - less work to build frame behind it.

@mykle1 Yeah, I was looking for my modules too. :)

@sdetweil oh, cool that you built that in the scripts - I use that.

@sdetweil When we get to the quarterly update, I’ll need to know how to update back to the main. LOL

@sdetweil That fixed it here.

@sdetweil does not seem to affect anything.

            if (notification === "CALENDAR_EVENTS") {
                        // have we received events for this url
                        if (!this.calendarData[payload.url]) {
                                // no, setup the structure to hold the info
                                this.calendarData[payload.url] = { events: null, checksum: null };
                        }
                        // save the event list
                        this.calendarData[payload.url].events = payload.events;

                        this.error = null;
                        this.loaded = true;

                        if (this.config.broadcastEvents) {
                                this.broadcastEvents();
                        }
                        // if the checksum is the same
/*
                        if (this.calendarData[payload.url].checksum === payload.checksum) {
                                // then don't update the UI
                                return;
                        }
*/
                        // haven't seen or the checksum is different
                        this.calendarData[payload.url].checksum = payload.checksum;

@sdetweil Sorry, I’ve been away due to work issues. It is multiple systems to one server, and still unsolved. Worked fine before “upgrade” to current MM version.

Running newest Magic Mirror, installed April 27, using Sam’s scripts.

I’m getting broadcasts as you can see, but default calendar and all modules that depend on it show nothing.

any clue what’s going on?

@KristjanESPERANTO Finally got time to fix things up and move forward (Complete reinstall, honestly)

Everything is working as I desire now.

@KristjanESPERANTO I’m downgraded to previous MM until after the end of tax season at least.

@sdetweil gotcha.

I’ll likely re-work my entire system(s) after tax season is over, but this will hold until then. Once I have time, I’m mulling a few changes that’ll break everything anyway.

@sdetweil interesting that the old release is in test branch.
