I made it with addEventListener(“click”, ()=> function())

but if you put the button in a module and hide the entire module the button will also disappear when you click it.
The changes I made to the newsfeed I added style.display=“none/block” to hide and show divs

But since I’m a noob-coder I’m not sure that is the best way to do it

It will always be a visible line shown, so yeah one sheat is the best option.

Any suggestions on how I pause the updateInterval ?

I’ve tried just to change the var to another value when clicked, but it doesn’t change the current item interval.

I can report yes, it was a z-index issue.
setting the region.fullscreen to z-index -1 made everything clickable.

But I’ll probably just change the newsfeed to z-index 1
I used a eventlistener to register the click and change the contents of this.innerhtml from title to description.

Next up, make it draw a new div and pause the timer for the headlines.

I have a three screen setup in front of me right now, one IPS in the middle and two TN besides it.
the TN panels are crap in comparison (yes they where cheaper ofc) the viewing angle and colors are the most obvious things that stands out.
If adjusted to extremes the contrast on the ips is much higher.

And if you planning on using the screen on it’s side I would pretty much exclude tn panels, it just looks weird and the viewing angles from the side usually aren’t good enough.

Or use the button module and add physical buttons to the side of the mirror.

Maybe it could work with the mm music player if it gets m3u support

Also, have you tried just running tha script again? I had to run it a couple of times to get it to install everything

Yes, remove them from the config and delete the folders.

Ofc you can, hardened glass, not plexi in a table however.
Touch foil under the glass and you are good to go :)

@bhepler said in Making text etc clickable:

If you look at it, it’s already creating a <DIV> element and changing the innerHTML to the value of the title from the newsfeed (line 149) title.innerHTML = this.newsItems[this.activeItem].title; It should be relatively easy to modify this area of the code to add the anchor tag & url.

I’ve found the part where it creates the actual content, I’ve tried adding onclick to text, to buttons, tried making functions to act on the onclick event etc. maybe it’s a z-index issue and something is in the way. because it doesn’t react at all to any clicks. I tried the anchor tag just to see if it would react, but no. Something is blocking the “clickability” of the MM module

Hi,

Since I’ve only graced the surface of Javascripting and it was at least 7 years since I last actively worked with html/css and php I find it a little bit frustrating trying to make something clickable.

Whats the most basic way to make a block of text clickable within the MM2 borders?
I guess it really doesn’t work as a normal browser since I can’t even click on links?

My aim is to modify the Newsfeed module to display the description when the title is clicked and then hide the description again when you click on the description.

and in the long run I will probably need to modify more modules to be clickable, but first things first, learning basics.

I’m just guessing, since I know nothing.
Don’t you have to start it with pm2 to close it with pm2?

Ie use pm2 start instead of npm start
