And secondly, after an X amount of time, the setup is always moving back to the main screen. How can I make this longer or even completely stop this. In other words that I stay on the second screen until I move it myself back to the main screen?

See next settings in your CONFIG.js

Code: Select all

config['auto_swipe_back_to'] = '1';
config['auto_swipe_back_after'] = '60';
config['auto_slide_pages'] = '';
config['slide_effect'] = 'fade';

Hi there,
Has anyone faced similar issue with google directions before? I've been googling for days with no luck...
My dashboard consists of single frame with google directions (to check best route to work in the morning).

Code: Select all

frames.directions = {height:500,frameurl:"https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/directions?origin=Sosnowiec&destination=Katowice&key=MY_API_KEY",width:12}

When I open dashticz (or refresh browser index page) it works like charm and shows the map with route, but after certain time dashticz enforces frame refresh.
The problem starts during this refresh, when the original request is changed, and for some reason the 't' parameter is added at the very end of the request, so it looks like:

Code: Select all

https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/directions?origin=Sosnowiec&destination=Katowice&key=MY_API_KEY&t=1547585442993

(note &t=1547585442993 at the very end of the query)
As a result my map is gone, and the error message pops out:

Google Maps Platform rejected your request. Invalid request. Unexpected parameter 't'.

I do understand the error, but have no idea why '&t=..." parameter is added and how to avoid it.
Any clues? I'd appreciate any hint.

The '&t=..." parameter is being added to prevent caching of the page. There are more webpages that don't like when this parameter is being added.

I think the best solution is to make it configurable for each frame. I'll make a fix this weekend.

Thanks Lokonli for the quick response. I'd love to test this fix as soon as you release it.

It's included in 2.5.3. See https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... 67&t=26643
Can you test?

I think the fix works pretty well. With forcerefresh:false setting 'Google directions' frame refreshes as expected and "&t..."-parameter issuses for that particular frame are gone. Many thanks for handling this problem in no time. I will report back in case of spotting problems regarding 'forcerefresh' and google directions api.

config['auto_slide_pages'] = '';
config['slide_effect'] = 'fade';

Thanks for the suggestion, this improves the behaviour much better.

Still a question, can I add a button on the screen that (when pressed) moves to the next screen? Then I don't have to swipe anymore.

You can define a button having a 'slide' parameter, and add it to the column you want. Example for a button which will you bring to the second screen:

Code: Select all

buttons.test = { width:6, title:'page 2', slide:2};

Now that wunderground no longer issues free API keys, has anybody modified the moonphase module to get it's phase info from a different provider?

I'm modifying the moon part of Dashticz. It will be merged in the next beta release. It then will work independently from Domoticz.

I added a switch for a Blind-Percentage. But I'm having a few problems with it.

1. The slider runs underneath the buttons
2. The up-button is for a big part covered by an angle item, making it very hard to use it.

Is it possible to fix this in any way? I read that is it possible to remove the stop-button, but I actually need it.
Thanks

That indeed is not really usable. I'll create a fix.

[renerene]

is it possible to scale or lower graphs?
my currecnt power usage graph takes to much space, to place 'power delivery' next to it

[JimmyH1969]

Ik know you can use this in custom.css

Code: Select all

#graphoutput76 {
	height:250px;
	width:250px;
}

You need to change it to the correct IDX ofcourse. Works for me

If you add the newwindow parameter to a button (for instance newwindow:true) then the url of the button will open in a new window.

Lokonli, thank you very much! Very good and speedy fix. Nice!
