You can check whether MM is really ‘most-bottomed’. Adjust some CSS to check whether MM is “COVERING but just transparent” against other icons or applications.

I’ve tested MacOS and Windows, but not Linux, sorry. But Electron Manual says type: 'desktop' options would work on Linux Environment too.
What kind of Linux are you using?

I need weather information (current status or some days forecasting) to be used in my other module. For example, changing the background or colour theme by current weather status. or registering upcoming weather events on the calendar, etc…
It will be more efficient when the existing weather module data could be accessible instead of implementing another new weather parser for that purpose.

As title,
Does weather module broadcast the notification? Old currentweather emitted, but not sure of the new module. Does anyone know?

@demzykster
I think you did ‘npm install’ in wrong directory.(maybe /modules directory instead of /modules/MMM-GooglePhotos , I guess)

MMM-CalendarExt3

New MagicMirror module for calendar view. (successor of MMM-CalendarExt2)

Screenshot

Concept

My previous module, MMM-CalendarExt2, was always notorious for its difficulty to use. I need a more easy and light one. So I rewrite this from scratch newly.

Features

What’s different with CX2.

• Only focusing on how it shows; Parsing is delegated to original MagicMirror module calendar. (It means the calendar module is REQUIRED to use this module.)
• Only week and month views. I found that people are rarely interested in other views on CX2. So I drop out different views.
• Respect to original MM’s hide/show mechanism. Now you can hide/show this module easily with other scheduler or control modules. (By the way, Look at this module also. - MMM-Scenes)
• No dependency on the 3rd party modules (e.g. momentJS or Luxon, etc.). This is built with pure JS and CSS only.

Main Features

• week view or month view
• locale-aware calendar
• customizing events: filtering, sorting, transforming
• multi-instance available. You don’t need to copy and rename the module. Just add one more configuration in your config.js.

DETAILS : https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-CalendarExt3

@fedale

1. Impossible to inherit Google’s colour setting (The event itself has no information about how it shows in Google calendar)

2. You can transform your event to get a different CSS className by the condition of events.
   See the Sort, Filter, Transform parts of MMM-CalendarExt2 documents.

@Nneuland
Check this; https://raspberrytips.com/time-sync-raspberry-pi/

@M1st3r-E
You can use transforming in view configuration.

transform: (event) => {
  if (event.title.search("Birthday") > -1) { // If the event might include "Birthday" in its title,
    event.className = "BirthdayTitle"; // Assign new CSS class name of that event to "BirthdayTitle"
  }
  return event; // Return that event.
};

event object could have these properties;

calendarId: 1;
calendarName: "Tottenham";
className: "mySoccerClass";
description: "FA Cup, round 3";
duration: 7200;
endDate: "1546638300";
endDateJ: "2019-01-04T21:45:00.000Z";
icon: "noto-soccer-ball";
isFullday: false;
isMoment: false;
isOneday: true;
isPassed: false;
isRecurring: false;
isCancelled: false;
location: "";
startDate: "1546631100";
startDateJ: "2019-01-04T19:45:00.000Z";
title: "Team T.B.A. - Tottenham Hotspur";
uid: "1:1546631100:1546638300:op54vk5s1r0ivl8i165ampip88@google.com";
ms_busystatus: "BUSY"; // Only for calendar from MS Outlook. Available : "BUSY", "FREE", "TENTATIVE", "OOF"

@MZ-BER
I was the original author @eouia, that module was built for my own purpose.
Nowadays, I changed my car to Tesla, so I couldn’t maintain that module anymore.
It’s nice to hear @MZ-BER keep the module advanced. I’ll leave the comment on my repository for a visitor who needs Volvo module to use yours.

@tanvir586
Usually not possible. Unless your widget has that kind of feature (size adjust), it couldn’t.

@sifuhall
If your os can handle nodejs, electron and chromium, it could be.
But some modules or features might not be compatible with yours.
Especially sever mode, nodejswould be only the issue.

if (module !== sender && (!sendTo || module === sendTo)) {
  module.notificationReceived(notification, payload, sender);
}

module.notifcationReceived() doesn’t work when the recipient module and the sending module are the same.
A module cannot hear its voice.

If you want to use a chained shell commands with delay, make .sh file and execute it.

@arynio
I haven’t tested. But as far as I know, a notification from the module itself would not be heard by itself to prevent infinite loop possibility.

@gekberlin
RelativeTime would be auto-scaled by remain period to target time from now on. So “tomorrow” is displayed as “in X hours” because after X hours the tomorrow will begin. “In 10 days” means exactly “in 10days and a few hours”
So it is not so desirable to display exact time, especially fullday events.
Use dateFormat or dateTimeFormat. See the localization part also.

RelativeTime itself is more useful when you use it to display near events in 24 hours.

@cfenner
It doesn’t work on multi-instances. If you run two fronts ui at the same time, the error will happens.
How to overcome? Well, there be almost no solution for that.
Maybe you can modify node_helper.js not to execute one more instance from another front but I’m not sure that is what you really want.

@night_pr0
Cheers.
Ref. MMM-WeatherBackground, it is not video player but wallpaper something. Anyway you can get an idea.

@bhaules

Just memo;
It seems Indexing 50 photos took around 3~4 seconds. (It is too slower than I expect) 5000 photos will take 3000~4000 sec, = around 50 ~ 60minutes.
But your scanInterval is 10 minutes. It might be the reason? Before finishing the previous scanning cycle, a new cycle might begin.

As I mentioned earlier on github, scanning 5thousands photos every 10 minutes to show random 5 pictures in that 10 minutes, seems not so much efficient.

@sultan-y
Which position did you put the module into? set the position fullscreen_below.

@birdabirda
ADD to A5.

However, there are some tricks that can be used between node_helper and your instance to make dedicated communication.

• HTTP connection : your node_helper can serve its own web server that can provide URL endpoints for request/response methods. Your front-end module instance could access the dedicated URL.
• websocket or similar technics.
