    • RE: New Module to download photos from Apple iCloud

      @msimon360 ImagePhotos isn’t mine, I have a fork…

      so, generally how you do this , for any change to any repo on github

      on github, find the source module repo
      make a fork (copy on YOUR github)
      checkout your fork
      make a new branch
      make the changes
      commit to local branch
      push to your github fork
      github will see this and offer to create a PULL request to the original source , and the author can execute that PULL , from yours to theirs (merge is the operation)

      once its merged, then you can delete your branch
      and then sync the source to your fork (if you still want the fork)
      git pull on your fork to get the update,
      OR
      delete your local copy of the fork, and redownload the original repo again
      and maybe delete your fork on github, if you think you will never need it again

      as for the bug

      retry is a bad choice of variable, if its not in a failure path!.. lol…

    • For your information: the end of 32 bit system support is coming

      The current version of electron we use is version 43,
      This version actually downloads the binary for the matching runtime at startup.

      Help from others added a script to my scripts package to help cleanup the growing disk consumption

      Anyhow, version 43 is no longer supported after this year

      Version 44 does NOT provide support for arm32, armhf systems.
      Node 24 also has the same limitation.

      We will move to electron 44 in the October release.
      And will document a workaround: after install or upgrade, manually install electron 43 before running
      (I’ll update the install/upgrade scripts to do the hack while it works)

      We don’t know how long this hack will work.

      Soooo, for those of you running on 32bit os for smaller memory, pi0-2w or pi3, you need to start making plans

      1. Freeze upgrades on that system
      2. Upgrade, possibly the hardware too, to a 64 bit os

      We have added the electron 44 to the next release, aka develop, branch
      If you have time or interest you can start reviewing its impacts by installing the develop branch.

      See my post in troubleshooting about testing changes for how to get the develop branch

    • RE: Weather, how to remove GB-ENG from the header?

      @Richard238 parameters TO module always go inside the config:{} section
      parameters to MagicMirror runtime are outside the config section

         module
         position
         header
         ... 
      

      and, like always, javascript demands a trailing comma on lines when there are more lines following… (comma means more to follow)

      config: {
      				weatherProvider: "openmeteo",
      				appendLocationNameToHeader: false, //<---add comma
      				type: "current",
      				lat: 51.12345 //<--- missing comma (there is more to follow this line)
      				lon: -0.12345
      			}

    • RE: Weather, how to remove GB-ENG from the header?

      @Richard238 there is a weather module property

      appendLocationToHeader

      Set it to false,

      Check the spelling in the module documentation

    • RE: New Module to download photos from Apple iCloud

      @msimon360 imagesphotos should refresh its list of images every 60 seconds by default
      I use it linked to a file share on my nas
      Because there are so many pics no idea when the new pic will appear, add random on to that and it’s worse for predictably

      I have installed the MM via your script as well.

      did you use my backup/restore to save your MM config???

      screen on/off, yeh the system keeps changing how to do that…
      i’ll look for that topic, and link it here

      @1a2a3a is this running from an nvme drive hat on the pi5?

      I don’t want you to change anything you have yet. Still need to understand the failure

    • RE: More weeks using MMM-MonthlyCalendar?

      @LaeHarr sure

      in the MM config set

      address:"0.0.0.0",
      ipWhitelist:[],
      

      now restart your MM

      now you can access the MM system from any browser you like from
      anywhere on your network

      in that browser open the developer tools window
      on chrome and edge that is ctrl-shift-i on the page to work on
      on safari you need to use the browser menu, settings, advanced, enable developer tools, new browser menu, develop, show web inspector (it will toggle to close )

    • RE: iCal parsing failed: Cannot find package 'ics-filter

      @Beginner_123 can you run

      hash -r
      

      and then

      which node
      

      then

      node -v
      

      for this release its node 22.22.2

      nvm changes the actual path for its installed node version,
      so you may have to open another terminal window

      keyboard shortcut

      ctrl-alt-t

    • RE: iCal parsing failed: Cannot find package 'ics-filter

      @Beginner_123 this sounds like you updated,
      but the npm run install-mm failed…

      this typically happens because the version of nodejs was not updated during the upgrade

      you can verify this by doin

      cd ~/MagicMirror
      npm run install-mm
      

      please confirm it outputs a message like (here I installed node 16)

      npm ERR! code EBADENGINE
      npm ERR! engine Unsupported engine
      npm ERR! engine Not compatible with your version of node/npm: magicmirror@2.37.0
      npm ERR! notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: magicmirror@2.37.0
      npm ERR! notsup Required: {"node":">=22.21.1 <23 || >=24"}
      npm ERR! notsup Actual:   {"npm":"8.19.4","node":"v16.20.2"}
      

      to fix the easiest way, run my upgrade script
      from here
      https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

      and use the upgrade copy/paste with apply at the end of the command,
      change the word apply to force

    • RE: Implementation of an php website banner

      @DO7FIR what do you mean by bind?

      Extract the graphical view of the drawn banner at the url?
      Then
      Make a button?
      Show a link?

      IFrame will drag the whole contents of the page at the url
      After that you would have to fetch the contents at the url and then extract the contents you want, and create the element you want
