Blocks not showing

[peterspieg]

Hello, I have two blocks, and they won't show on the dashboard.

This is a part of the code I am using:

Spoiler: show

config['owm_api'] = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaaaaaaaxxxxxxxxxxxx';
config['owm_city'] = 'Amsterdam';

blocks['31'] = {
type: 'weather',
layout: 2,
count: 7,
interval: 3
}

blocks['32'] = {
frameurl: 'https://gadgets.buienradar.nl/gadget/zo ... e=3&voor=1',
scrollbars: false,
width:12,
aspectratio: 0.66
}

//Definition of columns
columns = {}

columns[3] = {
blocks : ['clock','sunrise','31','32'],
width: 3}

Block clock and sunrise are working fine
Block 31 should be a weather block, only the favicon shows.
Block 32 should be Buienradar, nothing to see.

But all I get is this:



Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

No ticks should appear around the blocknumbers, so it;s just blocks : ['clock','sunrise',31,32],

Hi Edwin, thanks for your reply.
It makes no difference to use or not use the '.
In column 1 I use also the ' and there the blocks do show.
So, it must be something else.

Can you try to use layout 1 and see if the block does load?

Do you mean column1?

[peterspieg]

Just to be sure, the Raspberry Pi can reach internet, I added the TV guide as a block, and that works.
So, it is not a internet/network issue.
But I still can't get it to work.

I mean layout 1 for your block 31. Just to see if the block is loading correctly.

Sorry Hans, it was too late for me .
Now I have changed to layout one, but still not showing. Only the favicon is visible.

Code: Select all

blocks['31'] = {
  type: 'weather',
  layout: 1,
  count: 7,
  interval: 3
}

blocks['32'] = {
  frameurl: 'https://gadgets.buienradar.nl/gadget/zoommap/?lat=52.50467&lng=4.97229&overnam>
  scrollbars: false,
  width:12,
  aspectratio: 0.66
}

//Definition of columns
columns = {}

columns[1] = {
  blocks : [11,12,13,14,15,16,tvguide.dutch],
  width: 3}


columns[2] = {
  blocks : ['11','graph_9'],
  width: 6}


columns[3] = {
  blocks : ['clock','sunrise','news',31,32],
  width: 3}

Block 32 also doesn'nt show. But the "news" block does show. So, the internet connection is ok.

Can you add extra:

Code: Select all

config['owm_country'] = 'nl';
config['owm_lang'] = 'nl';

to your config.js

And I used block:

Code: Select all

blocks[31] = {
type: 'weather',
provider: 'owm',
  layout: 1,
  count: 7,
  interval: 3
}

For the frame you have to use the following block code:

Code: Select all

var frames = {}
frames.weather = {
frameurl: 'https://gadgets.buienradar.nl/gadget/zoommap/?lat=52.50467&lng=4.97229&overname=2&zoom=8&naam=made&size=3&voor=1',
scrollbars: false,
width:12,
aspectratio: '0.66'
}

And add frames.weather to your column like:

Code: Select all

columns[1]['blocks'] = [31,frames.weather]

Hello Hans, thanks for the help so far, but it is still only showing a icon (the sun). I have exactly copied your lines.
Could it be a version issue?

Code: Select all

{
"version": "3.10.0.1",
"branch": "master",
"last_changes": "Publictransport: Fix for OVAPI",
"changelog" : {
            "3.10.0": "Beta derived from 3.10",
            "3.10": "Master version"
            }
}

scrollbars: false,
width:12,
aspectratio: '0.66'
}

And add frames.weather to your column like:

Code: Select all

columns[1]['blocks'] = [31,frames.weather]

THANKS! This is finally working!
I really appreciate your help.

I was using the beta version. Maybe you can try that version.

If you use a number as block name, then Dashticz assumes you want to show a Domoticz device.
So, if you want to show an iframe with buienradar content, just use some text as block name, like:

Code: Select all

blocks['buien'] = {
    frameurl: 'https://gadgets.buienradar.nl/gadget/zoommap/?lat=51.3578&lng=6.17428&overname=2&zoom=8&naam=5912TN&size=3&voor=1',
    scrollbars: false,
    width:12,
    aspectratio: 0.66
}

Personally I prefer to define blocks in this way.

The frames.weather method also still is supported, mainly to keep backwards compatibility, but the blocks['buien'] method is the preferred way.

I mean layout 1 for your block 31. Just to see if the block is loading correctly.

Sorry Hans, it was too late for me .
Now I have changed to layout one, but still not showing. Only the favicon is visible.

Code: Select all

blocks['31'] = {
  type: 'weather',
  layout: 1,
  count: 7,
  interval: 3
}

blocks['32'] = {
  frameurl: 'https://gadgets.buienradar.nl/gadget/zoommap/?lat=52.50467&lng=4.97229&overnam>
  scrollbars: false,
  width:12,
  aspectratio: 0.66
}

//Definition of columns
columns = {}

columns[1] = {
  blocks : [11,12,13,14,15,16,tvguide.dutch],
  width: 3}


columns[2] = {
  blocks : ['11','graph_9'],
  width: 6}


columns[3] = {
  blocks : ['clock','sunrise','news',31,32],
  width: 3}

Block 32 also doesn'nt show. But the "news" block does show. So, the internet connection is ok.

For the weather block:

I suggest to not use 31 as block name, but for instance 'myweather' to prevent mix-up with Domoticz devices. Don't forger to change it in the column definition as well.

Further, if you recently created a OpenWeatherMap account, then you can only use the new OpenWeatherMap 3.0 API.
See:
https://dashticz.readthedocs.io/en/beta ... .html#owm3

The new owm3 is only supported in the most recent Dashticz beta version.

You can switch to the beta version, and update to the latest version with:

Code: Select all

git checkout beta
git pull

To use the OWM3 API, create your block as follows:

Code: Select all

blocks['myweather'] = {
  type: 'weather',
  provider: 'owm3' ,  //Add this line
  layout: 1,
  count: 7,
  interval: 3,
}

This only will work if you've switched to the latest Dashticz beta version!
