    • RE: Modules duplicate themselves and move in and out

      @sil3ntstorm
      I have never seen that symptom and have no idea to guess what happened.

      Here are general methods to deal with the error;

      1. Backup your current config.js
      2. Try the original config. You can restore it from config.js.example
      • If you still have an issue even with the original config, one of MM/OS/HW might be the reason.
        • Remove MM, then reinstall clearly again;
        • Not solved with newly installed MM; Format your SD card and reinstall OS. Then, reinstall MM.
        • Still not solved; your HW might have some issues.
      • If you have no issue with the original, the issue probably came from one of the 3rd party modules;
        • Try adding the module one-by-one on the original config / Or you can remove the suspicious module one-by-one from your config.

    • RE: Wrap event title MMM-CalendarExt3

      @muhsintt said in Wrap event title MMM-CalendarExt3:

      Re: MMM-CalendarExt3

      Hello,

      Can you share a CSS or Node.js script that that wraps event titles into 2 or more lines when it does not fit in the cell?

      Thanks very much.

      I don’t agree that kind of wrapped multi-lines are useful.

      Because it’s ugly and wastes space(unless using a 4K screen), it is not easy to glance at, and it is hard to recognise events. Just two-line wrapping may not be sufficient to display long titles. (How about 3 lines? Or 4 lines? no ends…)
      So, I intentionally designed this module like the current one looks. It is an old legacy concept from MMM-CalendarExt, (and MMM-CalendarExt2, …) All other major calendar applications on desktop or mobile keep the one-liner in month-type view. (Google Calendar, Apple calendar, MS Outlook, Fantastical, …)

      Anyway, usually, MM is regarded as just a dashboard to glance at, not a Franklin organizer.

      Even though 2liners could be possible with some tricks(I tried once), technically, It needs a ton of heavy CSS and JS tweaks. If you are not an expert, you probably ruin the whole look.

      I totally understand this ellipsed title may not be enough to read. What I suggest alternately are;

      • Use colour and symbols to distinguish some events.
      • Use abbreviations to shorten long titles.
        (For above two approaches, you can handle events with prepared handlers of this module)
      • Shorten time format. (22 is better than 10:00 PM)
      • Use popover feature to see details of the event. (When your MM device supports touch/click)
      • Use other sidekick modules to look for details, like MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda, Or the default calendar module.

      @sdetweil

      Below is the screenshot. It is loading everything, but not displaying in CalendarExt3. I also noticed in the debug console there was the message below. I don’t know what it means.

      Not error, just info. You can ignore it.

    • RE: Modules duplicate themselves and move in and out

      @sil3ntstorm
      Very mysterious symptom.
      And… The duplicated clocks are displaying different times quite differently! I cannot guess how this could happen.
      Could you share the whole screen? because some modules seem duplicated, but some don’t, and I want to see where the duplications are placed.
      (And your config.js also)

      @UncleRoger

      1. About the look of the module to mimic the original calendar module;
        Sorry, it can’t. This module is an alternative view of your events listing, not a replacement. If you need only the same look as the original calendar, just use the original.

      2. About the working with MMM-Pages.
        MMM-Pages is a good, reliable module, though it doesn’t consider the multi-instance of the module. So when you need multi-instances and want to show/hide on different pages, it cannot work as expected. Try other paging/screen control module. (e.g. I recommend MMM-Scenes2 with shame.)

      My mistake. You can assign class name in MMM-Pages settings. (Thanks @sdetweil )

      @sil3ntstorm
      It seems not all the config (because, you probably have news module.)
      Do you have any module for position/page control?

      Ah, I misunderstood those identifiers are module name not class name.

      @BKeyport
      Your DOM might not be rendered yet on “start” imo. I think manipulating DOM after “DOM_OBJECT_CREATED” notification would be safer.

    • RE: mmm newsapi help

      @1a2a3a

      When you set choices:'headlines' and query.country: 'sg', it doesn’t mean news from Singapore press. Rather, it would be more similar to About/For Singapore or Popular in Singapore.

      Usually for news from Specific national press, sources: [...] would be used.
      For example;

      sources: ['bild', 'die-zeit'], 
      

      will show the news from the specific sources of Germany.

      You can check sources by nation like this by yourself.

      # Open your browser then navigate to here;
      https://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines/sources?country=de&apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY
      

      a846d5ff-f7ae-4b9f-b36c-31e5fec90de8-image.png

      But unfortunately, For Singapore, there is no registered national source for this API.
      fdc62d89-c3b5-41dd-a6ed-9e93f075af96-image.png

      It means even though this NewsAPI collects the news from various sources, you cannot specify the sources from only Singapore. You are not alone. For many countries, the API doesn’t provide the national source.
