@strawberry-3.141 perfect, I will do that. thanks again!

@strawberry-3.141 so add the hello world module under the clock in the config.js and code it up to add the color coded “legend”, right?

@broberg said in Calendar Heading Changes:

@ooom416354 if all names will be listed over ONE combined calendar you could just add it as static text.

Yep exactly, that would be the idea. Where would that static text be added, would it be in the config.js or would I have to create something for the custom.css?

@onetwankyfive I could but the idea is having some sort of legend as well. So you have the color coded symbols next to the events in the list but there is no way to tell who’s color is who’s (and with a bunch of really little kids, color is important)

@strawberry-3.141 this is what I initially proposed as well but wouldn’t that just list each calendar separately?

He wanted to combine all calendars into one list of dates but have a custom heading instead of just the default “Calendar”

Like in your example he wants to see
Janes_Stuff in pink
Johns_Stuff in blue,
Then both Jane and John’s calendar entries combined as one calendar below

A buddy of mine had a request and we are wondering if there’s a way to do this

Currently, the calendar module has an entry in the config which displays a text heading (default “Calendar”) above the actual events and dates.

His mirror is set up to pull 5 different calendars but has color coding to indicate whos calendar is whos, an example being his wife is pink, his is blue etc.
He wanted to add somewhat of a “legend” under the heading of the calendar with each persons name and color of their calendar entries, that way you would know which color you are and which events belong to you.

Is that possible to do? I would assume it would require an entry in the config.js file but I don’t know if that would do anything as the calendar.js file doesn’t have anything to indicate colors of the value. I don’t think anything in the custom.css file would help either.

Any ideas?

@yawns Here’s all of the feeds, the site is down but I have the links:

Full Station Listing with details:
https://traintime.lirr.org/api/Stations-All

Schedules based on Starting Station input (startsta=) and Ending Station input (endsta=) along with date/time (can be future dated)

https://traintime.lirr.org/api/TrainTime?startsta=CLP&endsta=NYK&year=2017&month=02&day=04&hour=05&minute=00&datoggle=d

Actual Train Schedules closest to the current time (passing in the 3 letter station code after loc=). This is different from the other link that I used for the JS file as it doesn’t show the ETA of the train.

https://traintime.lirr.org/api/Departure?api_key=&loc=

@yawns no problem, I am still trying to find working link where this can be pulled, although there won’t be any new stations anytime soon.

@yawns there used to be a ton of documentation on the API which for some reason is now offline. I found a list that was downloaded, here is the link

@nuckinfutz yea I am in Garden City, very close to Freeport

@cowboysdude yup NY is massive. Most people think it’s Manhattan and just around this area yet upstate is tremendous

@cowboysdude I’m from NY but I am one of those who is just outside of Manhattan on Long Island. Commute to the city everyday!

@morozgrafix wow. this is a great find, thanks!

I have a Chamberlain myq which will send a signal over wifi determining if my garage is open or closed to what i’m guessing is their server. Similar to Nest for the temperature. I wonder if there’s an API I can use to display the status.

@cowboysdude yup I agree with that!

@washichi Yea, I am still not even sure how to translate the returned JSON to an actual visual table on the mirror. Not very good at this lol

@washichi @yawns this is great work. I am wondering, would this completed code be kind of a base for making other API calls which return data in JSON format?

@yawns yes that’s the local station to my house, CLP. The morning ride is CLP to NYK then reverse in the afternoon. It should show the closest train departures and if there’s a delay so this morning would make sense (there were no delays today that I know of). So when I test I would just set a delay of like 8 minutes to see if anything showed up.

@cowboysdude problem is I am so new to it and I don’t really know the best way to test without actually uploading everything to the Pi. I was using notepad++ to write but for testing I had used xampp for the MM1. That doesn’t work with node I don’t think right? I am a programmer but work mostly as a SQL developer so I never had a need for learning JavaScript. Is there any particular class, site, etc. I can start out with to learn and actually develop myself? Thanks.

@cowboysdude for the old MM we ended up using the other function that the developer wrote to refresh and display it on the page. I’m just not sure how I can display it on the MM2 or what I’d need to rewrite to get it to work.
