@sdetweil I did it.

Thanks for the help!

I made some modifications I think are helpful to some modules and I plan to do the same to some default modules and maybe even MM itself.

From getting an account on github to making my efforts available for review or use, is there a tutorial or instructional on how to do it? If not, could someone help me?

@MMRIZE Okay, I will give it a try. Thanks!

@sdetweil Thanks, seems straight forward enough. I already made some changes to my live version. Should I save the changed files in another location then remove the module and then proceed with the instructions?

@sdetweil If I understand you correctly, the call to the Dom is for the visual content update and not necessary after updating data the running module relies on unless that data is to be immediately displayed.

@sdetweil I did it.

Thanks for the help!

Ok, that helps a little. I’ll try some things with setInterval and come back again when I’m stuck. I see a lot of examples where updateDom is included in the setInterval. That just updates the config if necessary, correct?

I apologize in advance for the ignorance.

When building a module, how do I periodically update a variable? For example, let’s say I have a variable that is an array or list of files found on a share. I have to fetch the list on start, how do I tell it to do it again in 10 minutes in case there has been a change?

@sdetweil Thanks. Perhaps a television is what I’m looking for when placing it in a high traffic area.

I’m using an extra LCD monitor I had lying around to experiment with Magic Mirror. One thing I noticed is that when I look at it from the ‘bottom’ (if it was in landscape orientation), I can barely see what’s on the screen. It’s almost the same effect as a privacy screen. I know this isn’t a settings issue and it is caused by the way the monitor is made. However, I am ignorant to what causes this effect and how to avoid it when selecting a monitor. Thus, I am looking for advice on how to avoid this problem by selecting a monitor based on its specifications. Can anyone tell me how to select a monitor that is visible from all angles?

Here is something else. In my Nextcloud calendar, I created a weekly recurring event. Each time I created the event in the first week of November, the module shifted the subsequent events one day forward. If I create the event on the second week, there is no issue that I can see and all the events are on the correct days.

The 1st week starts on Saturday, October 29 and ends on Sunday, November 4.
