Dear AgP42,

thank you so much for considering this and spending the time to make it happen. I am traveling at the moment but am looking forward to testing it when I get back home.

Have a nice weekend!

Dear all,
would it be possible to have this module hidden until a weather module (e.g. MMM-DarkSkyForecast broadcasts a DARK_SKY_FORECAST_WEATHER_UPDATE) broadcasts a weather update that contains a snow forecast for today? That would be really useful :)

@AgP42 Thanks for your reply and happy new year!
I using MMM-Remote-Control to inject notifications from my home automation system (FHEM), as it knows all the other relevant states in the house (user-presence, lighting situation, etc.).

Maybe your module could listen to "iFrame_Ping_URL" notifications and take the "URL" from the payload and use it until a new one is provided or until a restart, in which case it would revert back to the standard URL from the setup?

This way, it would not change its behavior presented to its current users and just gain an option to change the preconfigured URL on the fly.

Dear @agp42,

unfortunately, a playlist does not help for my use case:
I found a 90 min 4K Video Collection from the ISS and want use a defined / selected / random 35 minute section to fill in for the time when the ISS is in the dark.
Currently, I am circumventing it by having multiple copies of the “Night”-page with MMM-Page-Selector and defining different instances of MMM-iFrame-Ping for each page. Each of these instances get a defined URL and I call the pages via notifications, depending on the daylight-status of the ISS.
Having a little more flexibility in the module would make this a lot easier and more dynamic.

Maybe it could be possible to pass on an URL via a notification?

Dear @Veldrovive,
oh - I have to run and hide somewhere. I did forget to clone the development branch when setting up the Mac Mini. Sorry for bothering you with this :unamused_face:

As always, if you do things right, they work :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

You said you it would be a quick change to update the class list to contain the current page. If you have time to add this, it would help me a lot!

Dear @Veldrovive,
I am trying to use an old MacMini to host a mirror, as I would like play BluRays and Amazon Prime Videos on my mirror as well. Everything works fine - except for the option to save the current page.
Frist, I thought this might be a permission issue - but even setting the MagicMirror folder and all its contents recursively to “chmod 777” did not solve it. The mirror always goes back to the standard page and not the current page. Setting “persistentPages” to true does not have any effect.
As you know how you store and restore the “current page” - do you have any idea how to get this going again?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Beautiful style!

@j-e-f-f has updated the module on GitHub. Go to the module folder and update it via git pull.

If the error still persists, leave out line

concise: false,

from the config file. That solved it for me in the prior version.

@j-e-f-f said in MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module:

I also fixed up how the header is formatted. I’m now using an HTML5 header element and it has two classes: module-header so that it is formatted the same as all of the other module headers, and forecast-header if you want to target it specifically with CSS.

Thanks for accepting my pull request and your improvements. They help me learn how this all works.

I have some trouble with the animated current conditions icons. Sometimes they do not show up, although configured - and reappear on a restart. Sometimes they are shown only for one instance of MMM-DarkSkyForecast. Do you have any idea, what might be the cause?

A second question: I have limited the max-width of MMM-DarkSkyForecast to 250px as I would like to have my mirror with cascading module widths with in creasing width the lower a module is. This works fine on the left side. If I send MMM-DarkSkyForecast to the right side and the module below is wider, it is aligned on the left side of the right region. Do you have any advice how to right align all modules in the right region?

Dear @j-e-f-f,
thanks for the quick reply. Today, I tried to get my toes wet with JS coding and added an option to hide the column header icons from the forecast table or optionally show a header above the forecast table. It seems to work as expected and I have created a pull-request to give others access to the feature as well and maybe safe you some time.

I also found a way to hide the vertical lines from the table via the custom.css file and now the module looks even better, if a fullscreen background image is used.
