Sorry sdetweil, on my github account site at “Password and authentication” is no “developer settings”.
What I can see is;
Password and a button with Change Password
Passkeys and somthing toadd and modify them.
Two-factor authentication! with a bunch of settings.

But no “developer settings”.

@sdetweil

I’m commig up to “git push” asking for my username followed by my password, but then i got an error because of: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021.
Why everything must be made so complicated. There’s no fun. :-( Nothing is smooth and easy anymore. :-(
I should authenticate now with a “Personal-Access-Token”. I don’t own one.
To create a “Personal-Access-Token” I have to go to my Organization, I have no Organization, I’m a private person that tries to have a little fun with a MagicMirror2 and some other Raspberry Pi projects.
When I create an Organization and then following the instructions to create Personal-Access-Tokens, no Tokens were created.
Sorry, for today I had enough problems, will try tomorrow again.

Hello sdetweil,
when I do the first 2 points all is good, but when I do git clone “mycopyurl” I get the error:
Fatal: Target path ‘MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3’ already exists and is not an empty directory.
I tried also to delete the (my Master Branch?, because it is only a few Minutes old) Master Branch but that won’t work either.

I think it’s my bad english, :-( Sorry for that. :-(

Hi sdetweil,
I don’t really know what “fork” means, but I searched for paviro, saw that his module was outdated, but I could download it, I did the same with armybeans version of the module and the Python3 version from drtorchwood, one by one because of folder names.
Then I used winscp to copy them from my raspberry in different folders on my PC and compared and merged, maybe merged is not the correct word, them using WinMerge.
After that I send it back to my raspberry to the MagicMirror2 module folder and made a restart of my MM2 and it worked.
So now I decided to help others that may have problems with these modules and tell the community here that there is now a working version that I would like to share.
But I don’t know how.

I have revised the MM2 modules MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3 and MMM-Callmonitor-Current-Call and the different versions or forks of paviro,
armybean and drtorchwood and made it work as far as possible.
As originally intended by armybean (MMM-Callmonitor-Current-Call), all calls are now marked with colored directional arrows (Incoming green, Outgoing blue)
as well as unanswered or missed calls (red x).

Unfortunately, I don’t know how to upload my forks to Github now. I’m only a Github user, and I can’t really code.
Also my English is not so good anymore, I don’t really understand the github instructions on how to create a repository or upload a fork.

@xIExodusIx said in Made a birthday module:

I’m using a Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB with RaspiOS Bookworm
MM Version is 2.30,
npm Version is 10.9.2,
node Version is 23.6.1.

I think RaspiOS is missing the font. It might be solved by issuing:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y fonts-noto-color-emoji fonts-symbola ttf-ancient-fonts

and then rebuild font cache

sudo fc-cache -f -v

Then restarting Magic Mirror and/or Pi.

And if I get the time, Ill look into a more elegant solution.

Thank you :-) , this solved my problem with the funny Icons in front and then end of the text.

Now the last problem(s) is to tell your Module not to hijack the whole page for itself and not to ignore the position where to be displayd on the mirror.
Your Module is really great, because there is a little bit of (funny) action on the mirror :-)
I’m sure you will solve the two Problems too an I’m looking forward for that. :-)

@cgillinger Hi cglinger,

I’m using a Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB with RaspiOS Bookworm
MM Version is 2.30,
npm Version is 10.9.2,
node Version is 23.6.1.

I hope this would help.

Hi cgillinger,

I tested your new modul, MMM-Birthday-Paged, sadly it does not work for me, it should shown up on my MagicMirror on Page 1 with a lot of more informations, it does, firework and confetti work well, but it kills all of my other Informations on that page and the icons in front and back of the “gratulation text” will not be displayed, exactly as mentioned in my post some Days earlier.
For me this version of yor Modul must have its own Page.

Unfortunately I have a few problems with your MMM-Birthday module. When I start the MM and there is a birthday, it is immediately displayed in the
middle (middle_center) on all pages without taking the position from config.js into account. The display is not yet dimmed on all pages.
Confetti is displayed in the correct position (lower_third) on the specified page as specified in the config.js, fireworks only sometimes but the
icons are missing!
On the 2nd and all subsequent runs of the pages, the birthday is also displayed in the correct position (lower_third) but without a name (undefined!)
with confetti (always) and fireworks (only sometimes) but still without icons. The display now will be dimmed on all pages.
If I start the MM and there is no birthday, everything is fine, nothing is displayed.
If a birthday is coming up from 00:00, it will be displayed as described above in the correct position (lower_third) with confetti but without a
name (undefiend!), without fireworks and without icons. The display is darkened on all pages so that it is barely legible.

See Pictures!

Hardware:
Raspberry Pi4 4GB RAM RaspiOS: Bookworm
Software:
MM 2.30 with MMM-Pages

@sdetweil & @KristjanESPERANTO
Yes, everything is working now, even the thumbnail and the layer progress are displayed. Only downside: It is displayed very, very small on the left edge of the screen. Not as I specified “middle_center”. I’m trying to figure out why.

But thanks for your great and fast Help :-)
