OK, I think I have it.
Using the window I confirm that the home people are using the same class (whoishome) as the title window.

To get that to work properly, I changed the MMM-whoishome.js line 34 from

html = html + '<img class="person" src="' + this.config.TRACK[this.peopleArray[i][0]].image + '"> ' + this.peopleArray[i][0] + '<BR>';

to

html = html + '<img class="person" src="' + this.config.TRACK[this.peopleArray[i][0]].image + '"> <span class="person">' + this.peopleArray[i][0] + '</span><BR>';

and then the people who are home use class person, which can then be used to configure the colour separately to the header title.

@yedidia - is this something worth adding into the module for better flexibility?
Sorry I’m not good at GH, so have no idea how to submit a PR for it.

@sdetweil - Thanks Sam. Looks like a job for the weekend.

@yedidia - one more quick question.

As mentioned above, I’m trying to tweak the css to show the names for people who are present and away in different colours.
What I’ve done so far via custom.css is :

.whoshome {
    color: lime;
}
.person-away {
    color: red;
}

Which works, except it changes the title (the “Who’s Home”) as well.
Is there any way to do this and keep the title the original colour to match the rest of the mirror modules?

I tried changing .person rather than .whoshome, but then both the title and people who are home revert to the white that is defined in the css of the module itself.

@yedidia - just updated and also made all the MAC addresses lower case, and now looks to be working.

The colours are rather muted, so it’s difficult to tell at a glance who is actually home (aside from not having a last seen line).

Will look into it more tomorrow, just back from a business trip and rather tired. But thanks again for the good work and useful module!

@rewie85 - Not yet, but it has only been 24 hours since I posted (and installed) it.

Looked good and installed it, but can’t get it to work.

The list is showing up on the Mirror, but never actually sees anyone.
The MAC addresses are in and confirmed as correct, and randomisation iş turned off.
Install instructions also followed, with nmap installed as well.

Is there any easy way to help troubleshoot this?

@mumblebaj said in MMM-NewsAPI:

@DarrenHill Changes have been pushed. You can update the module now.

All up and running - that’s a fix from my side :D
Thanks again for that.

Might have a play with the layout as the pics etc are a bit small (and there’s space to expand things around them in my layout), but I can handle that.

@mumblebaj - Thanks for the very fast response.

Will update and test.

@mumblebaj I’m trying to do something similar, but can’t quite get it to work.

I’ve got the module running in the centre bottom, and want to run it vertically rather than horizontally (so it’s more a block than a footer).
It’s almost there, except I can’t get the title to look right. Sometimes it’s OK (goes horizontally in a single line) but other times I get the text either going one word per line stacked vertically, or a block of the first few words like that and then the rest below in a correctly oriented line.

Is there anything I can adjust to make it work better and look right (all the title text going horizontally, line wrapped if it’s too long to fit)?

My config currently looks like this:

       {
            module: "MMM-NewsAPI",
            header: "News",
            position: "bottom_center",
            config: {
                    apiKey: "#########################",
                    type: "vertical",
                    choice: "everything",
                    pageSize: 20,
                    sortBy: "publishedAt",
                    drawInterval: 1000*30,
                    templateFile: "template.html",
                    fetchInterval: 1000*60*60,
                    query: {
                        country: "",
                        category: "",
                        q: "",
                        qInTitle: "",
                        sources: "",
                        domains: "bbc.co.uk",
                        excludeDomains: "",
                        language: ""
                        }
                    }
        },

and custom.css:

#NEWSAPI.vertical .header .title .content .footer {
    text-align: center;
}

Still it’s nice to have this module working in the UK again! :)

@KristjanESPERANTO - Yes, I just saw that when I did the git pull.

As I said, I wanted to flag it though as the recommended route for updates is that script, which would appear not to be working correctly otherwise.

@sdetweil - thanks, clear. Will do so, although I’m up to date anyway now after the git pull.
