@davidt89 said in Magic(Dashboard)Mirror:

But, how do you get MMM-MyCalendar to work?

this module is missing a package.json file to record the use of the valid-url library, which was removed in MM 2.16

SO, you can add it back

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install valid-url

I have updated the installer script…

correct node/npm version checks failing
check and install npm < — this is the big one
fix pm2 setup for current userid
(on my system it isn’t pi)

@AxLed said in [MMM-Remote-Control] Cannot GET /api:

api/module/alert/showalert?message=Hello&timer=2000

it looks like the api was changed, but not documented…

looking thru node_helper.js you can see all the commands

ip:port/remote?action=xxxxx&parms=???&parms2=???

the code lists these actions

            if (query.action === "SHUTDOWN") {
            if (query.action === "REBOOT") {
            if (query.action === "RESTART" || query.action === "STOP") {
            if (query.action === "USER_PRESENCE") {
            if (["MONITORON", "MONITOROFF", "MONITORTOGGLE", "MONITORSTATUS"].indexOf(query.action) !== -1) {
                this.monitorControl(query.action, opts, res);
            if (query.action === "HIDE" || query.action === "SHOW" || query.action === "TOGGLE") {
                self.sendSocketNotification(query.action, query);
            if (query.action === "BRIGHTNESS") {
                self.sendSocketNotification(query.action, query.value);
            if (query.action === "SAVE") {
            if (query.action === "MODULE_DATA") {
            if (query.action === "INSTALL") {
            if (query.action === "REFRESH") {
                self.sendSocketNotification(query.action);
            if (query.action === "HIDE_ALERT") {
                self.sendSocketNotification(query.action);
            if (query.action === "SHOW_ALERT") {
                self.sendSocketNotification(query.action, {
            if (query.action === "UPDATE") {
            if (query.action === 'NOTIFICATION') {
                    this.sendSocketNotification(query.action, { 'notification': query.notification, 'payload': payload });
            if (["MINIMIZE", "TOGGLEFULLSCREEN", "DEVTOOLS"].indexOf(query.action) !== -1) {
                    switch (query.action) {
            if (query.action === "DELAYED") {

to send an alert thru the api

http://mirror_ip:mirror_port/remote?action=SHOW_ALERT&message=foo&title=help&timer=10&type=alert

the remote.html does NOT use the api, but uses the socketNotifications pipe under the covers.
which is why it works, but the older /api/modulename… approach doesn’t

@castletonroad I’m not sure this will help, but the local mirror web server is not on port 80, but typically on 8080 (port setting in config.js)

so, your url should be

url: "http://127.0.0.1:8080/modules/calendars/basic.ics"

and the mirror web server base directory is the modules folder… so your file would need to be located in that directory tree somewhere

I downloaded my calendar, and it works fine locally

          url: "http://localhost:8086/modules/cals/basic.ics"

my mirror is running on port 8086.

@bhepler we should start a new script for upgrades

installers/upgrade

#!/bin/bash
# change to MagicMirror folder
cd ~/MagicMirror

# get the latest upgrade
if git pull; then
  # update any dependencies for base
  if npm install;
    # process updates for modules after base chnaged
    cd modules
    # get the list of modules with  package.json files
    find  -maxdepth 2 -name 'package.json'  | while IFS= read -r FILE; do
      echo "processing for module " $(dirname $FILE)
      # change to that directory
      cd  $(dirname $FILE)
        # process its dependencies
        npm install
      # return to modules folder
      cd - >/dev/null
    done
    return to Magic Mirror folder
    cd - >/dev/null
  fi
else
  echo git pull failed
  # return to original folder
  cd - >/dev/null
fi

@costascontis I use MMM-ImagePhotos, or MMM-ImageSlideshow (search on google for their github location)

both load images from the local MM disk as background.
I’m sure there are others too…

@Mykle1 does the module rebuild the display or does it locate the dom elements and update those?
document.getElementbyId() … if so, you probably have duplicate IDs w 2 versions running

in my modules I use the module identifier as part of the item id to avoid this

this.identifer in the modulename.js

YOU cannot push to the core repo… you can create a fork (under YOUR github userid), and then clone/push to THAT repo…

you can then propose changes to the master repo, by submitting a pull request, for your branch back to the master (and some branch, usually dev) … and the master owner can accept it , or not… and then merge it with the master branch whenever…
