Got it working guys, thanks for your help, I’ve created a merge request with Mr. Wong as well.

If anyone else runs across the thread, and it’s still not merged, my code mods are:

@bebetter14 I started out that way. What I did personally, was take a dead module that I really liked and started trying to figure out how it worked. Looked up the commands (Lots of searches for “XYZ Javascript” etc and playing on Jsfiddle.net – -Once I got that figured out, I built up my own module (MMM-Multimonth) and got help from some amazing people on here, including Sam and mmrize - major contribution was from a user who CSSified the whole thing and showed me how to do it.

Knowledge grows as you jump in.

@MMRIZE Boy, we did things the hard way…

/* Fade adjustments */
.CX3A .agenda::after {
	position: absolute;
	bottom: 0;
	left: 0;
	height: 6%;
	width: 100%;
	content: '';
	background-image: unset;
} 

@Kelemvor there’s multiple WOTD modules, some that can be controlled through CSS, some that can’t. If yours has a .CSS file, check to see if there’s an element with “width” as a tag, if so, you can set ‘max-width’ in that tag and cut it back. You may need other tags to force it to wrap, etc, however.

@binog Even though it’s fixed, there could be another issue - something else running on port 8080. I always change the default ports… 60001, 60002, etc. Less mess.

this one:

@btastic to double down on what @MMRIZE said - taking over someone else’s archived module is an exceptional way to learn how to do things. I Would highly encourage it, as the author has directly said he’s okay with it. I did that with a module myself. Taught me so much about javascript working out bugs in an existing module and adding my own flair (and I really should get back on it for one bit…)

@slooquie take away the position item in the config. It should default to none, but run in the background.

On new card it worked flawlessly. I’m assuming the old conditions of partial installs and whatnot had the old install broke things.

Nothing but warnings about depreciated modules.

I have three:
Built in Calendar module - While it’s normally a display module, I use it in the background to handle the calendar retrieval for MMM-CalendarExt3 (Day mode), MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda (Agenda), and MMM-Multimonth (My own module for month mode because I didn’t like MMM-CX3’s month mode)

MMM-CommandToNotification - Enables display of various features, including data for an non-published module I wrote to handle display of my local weather data from my weather station.

MMM-NotificationToCommand - Much like the previous - it will take a notification and issue a command to the system - I use it to adjust a set of LEDs I have rigged in to match the mode of my mirror.
