Can someone explain the blocks and columns ?
or show an example of there config.js?

Regards

Just noticed this. Although it is possible to give an alternative title to a block (blocks[140]['title'] = 'Temperatuur';), this goes for all 'sub-blocks'. In my case I have a 'buienradar-temperatuur' at idx 140 which produces 2 blocks: one for temperature and one for humidity...
I would be nice to give these sub-blocks different titles so I get 'Temperatuur' for the temperature and 'Luchtvochtigheid' for humidity.
Something like

Code: Select all

blocks['140_1']['title'] = 'Temperatuur';
blocks['140_2']['title'] = 'Luchtvochtigheid';

Got exactly the same problem.

Maybe this question is already asked. But is it possible to change the size of the icons? On a smaller screen, like a iPad, the icons are too small to click them.
I've tried some custom css, but cannot find the right option (yet).

Got exactly the same problem.

Or make it possible to use the data field so you get both readings in one block: "Data" : "12.2 C, 54 %"

you have to think like this:

each screen have by horizontal 'width' =12

this 12 you have to divid for column so you can put like this

Code: Select all

var screens = {}
screens[1] = {}
screens[1]['background'] = 'bg2.jpg';
screens[1]['columns'] = [1,2,3]

this mean you have the column 1, 2 and 3

column 1 + column 2 + column 3 = 12
(5) + (5) + (2) = 12

in code

Code: Select all

//var columns = {}

columns[1] = {}
columns[1]['blocks'] = [] 
columns[1]['width'] = 5; //this is the width of first column

columns[2] = {}
columns[2]['blocks'] = [] 
columns[2]['width'] = 5; //this is the width of second column

columns[3] = {}
columns[3]['blocks'] = [] 
columns[3]['width'] = 2; //this is the width of thirt column

so inside each column you can put the blocks likley the column

each column have width = 12 so you have to divid how many block you want.

block 1 + block 2 + block 3 + block 4 =12 this block will appear in same size
(3) + (3) + (3) + (3) =12

block 1 + block 2 + block 3 =12 will appear 2 with the same size and 1 bigger
(3) + (3) + (6) =12

Code: Select all

var blocks = {}
blocks[1] = {} // 1 means sensor/switch idx by domoticz
blocks[1]['width] = 3
blocks[28] = {} 
blocks[28]['width'] = 3; 
blocks[204] = {} 
blocks[204]['width'] = 3;
blocks[342] = {} 
blocks[342]['width'] = 3;

OR

Code: Select all

var blocks = {}
blocks[1] = {}
blocks[1]['width] = 3
blocks[28] = {} 
blocks[28]['width'] = 3; 
blocks[204] = {} 
blocks[204]['width'] = 6;

you can also create title for each column with the same logical:

Code: Select all

blocks['blocktitle_1'] = {}
blocks['blocktitle_1']['type'] = 'blocktitle';
blocks['blocktitle_1']['title'] = 'Temperaturas';

this will put the blocktitle width the widt of column

and ending you have to set the blocktitle, blocks, etc on column like this

Code: Select all

var columns = {}
columns[1] = {}
columns[1]['blocks'] = ['blocktitle_1',1,28,204,342] //if idx produces 2 blocks (temp + humid),  you can use: 'idx_1' and 'idx_2' 
columns[1]['width'] = 5;

columns[2] = {}
columns[2]['blocks'] = ['currentweather_big','weather']
columns[2]['width'] = 5; 

columns[3] = {}
columns[3]['blocks'] = ['clock','sunrise','horizon',buttons.buienradar,buttons.radio,buttons.calendar,buttons.nunl,buttons.nzbget]
columns[3]['width'] = 2; 

basicly this are the explaination that i can give you.

next see the wiki that get undersand more thinks.

So if a device (BME280) produces 3 block (Temp + Humidity + Baro) I should write:

columns[4]['blocks'] = ['blocktitle_2',48,'24_1','24_2','24_3']

or

columns[4]['blocks'] = ['blocktitle_2',48,'24_3']

? I tried both, but I am unable to produce one block combined with the 3 data.

And ive you try just 24?

[madrian]

SwordFish:

Same as "columns[4]['blocks'] = ['blocktitle_2',48,'24_1','24_2','24_3']" === 3 separate columns.

Can i expect the merge request tonight before the next round of fixes i am going to do?

I'll do the best, if you can answer my BME280 temp+hum+barometer question.

Ignoring the joke, I'll do my best, but I found a bug in Safari: auto playing is not working when I hit next, prev buttons. Other browsers are fine (Firefox, Chrome). We'll see If I find any workaround.

[robgeerts]

I'll do my best too did you mean chrome instead of safari?

Yep, just a typo.

For people with the weer.nl issue, you can also use the bigger buienradar screen like the one in part 1.4 you can find here

I have my new tablet now (very happy with the high resolution screen). I however experience the same issue as with my iPad, I do not get any domoticz data on the dashboard. I've been thinking about this and have to test some more for the possible cause. I am running Domoticz on a PI and the dashboard on my synology nas, possibly the remote calls are causing this issue.
My phone started complaining 'Domoticz error! Please, double check the path in _HOST_DOMOTICZ-variable!'. I upgraded today to the latest version (was running a couple of days behind). I tried the URL with and without username/password showing the same result. On my laptop however, I do not experience these issues. Strange.. any other people having a similar setup (PI with dashboard running on NAS) ?

Other issue, after some time i start getting the following errors in my console log:

Rob, i am scraping some site wich in turns writes out a txt file. Is there any way I can show the content in a block, just like the rss feed?

Thnx i'm gonna lock myself up this night

[Ierlandfan]

I was thinking of adding a function like this:

function FileHelper()

Code: Select all

{
    FileHelper.readStringFromFileAtPath = function(pathOfFileToReadFrom)
    {
        var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
        request.open("GET", pathOfFileToReadFrom, false);
        request.send(null);
        var returnValue = request.responseText;

        return returnValue;
    }
}

var text = FileHelper.readStringFromFileAtPath ( "/localdir/mytext.txt" );

And then i sorta lost it by putting the output in a textblock.

Edit: Found the xml version..no scraping needed. I am gonna modify news.js to suit my needs.
