Using the module

To use this module, add it to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

modules: [
    {
        module: "MMM-Modulebar",
        position: "bottom_bar", // This can be any of the regions.
		header: "Modules", // Optional
        classes: "default everyone", // Optional
        config: {
            // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
        }
    }
]

Configuration options

The following properties can be configured:

Option	Description

showBorder	Determines if the border around the buttons should be shown. Possible values: true or false Default value: true

buttons	All the different buttons in the menu. Possible values: a button configuration, see Configuring Buttons Default value: Clock example button.

Configuring Buttons

Buttons have to be placed in buttons in the config. A button contains a uniqe number as a key and a set of options in the object ({}).

Each button starts with it's own uniqe number (ex. "1"), then add the options needed.

Option	Description
text	A string to display in the button. Note: if no value is set no text will be displayed. Possible values: string
symbol	A symbol to display in the button. Note: if no value is set no symbol will be displayed. Possible values: See Font Awesome website
img	An image to display in the button. Note: it will only be displayed if no symbol is set. Possible values: A path to an image (an url or local path)
size	The size of the symbol. Note: will only have effect on a symbol. Default value: 1 Possible values: 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5
width	The width of the image. Note: will only have effect on an image. Possible values: number
height	The height of the image. Note: will only have effect on an image. Possible values: number
idnum	The uniqe module number if you have more then one of the same module (and want to manupilate only one of the modules), you can find the module numbers if you inspect the code and then check the "console" (in a nomal webbrowser) when showing and hiding the module(s) (without setting this number) with the button. Possible values: number
showUrl	If you have something you want to "do" via visiting a link before showing the module, this is where to put the link, it will be visited (ignoring the result) before showing the module.. Possible values: url
hideUrl	If you have something you want to "do" via visiting a link after hiding the module, this is where to put the link, it will be visited (ignoring the result) after hiding the module.. Possible values: url

An example:

  buttons: {
    // A number (uniqe for each button).
    "1": {
      // This is a button with text and a symbol
	  // The EXACT module name (case sensitive)
	  module: "currentweather",
      text: "Current Weather",
      symbol: "cloud",
    },
    "2": {
      // A button with only a symbol and an idnum to target a specific weatherforecast module.
	  module: "weatherforecast",
      symbol: "sun-o",
      // The ID-number of the "weatherforecast" module (when you have more then one).
	  idnum: 8,
    },
    "3": {
      // A button with only a symbol and an idnum to target another specific weatherforecast module.
	  module: "weatherforecast",
      symbol: "star-o",
      // The ID-number of the other "weatherforecast" module (when you have more then one).
	  idnum: 6,
    },
    "4": {
      // A button with only text
	  module: "clock",
      text: "Clock",
    },
    "5": {
	  // A button to show and hide for example a [MMM-MotionEye](https://github.com/CatoAntonsen/MMM-MotionEye) module.
      module: "MMM-MotionEye",
      idnum: 7,
      text: "CAM1",
      showUrl: "http://MagicMirrorIP:8080/motioneye/1",
      hideUrl: "http://MagicMirrorIP:8080/motioneye/hide/1"
    },
  }

Custom-CSS

Here is my CSS settings for the module that I have added to my custom.css to give it the extra special look. :)

/* MMM-Modulebar ------------------------------------*/
.modulebar-button {
  margin: 1px;
  padding: 1px 1px;
  border: 2px solid #fff; 
  background-color: #fff;
  color: #000;
  border-radius: 0px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  width: 60px;
  height: 60px;
}
.modulebar-picture {
  margin: 0px 0px;
  border-radius: 50%;
}
.modulebar-menu {
  align-items: flex-start;
}

Notes

• Important: unfortunatly positioning this module as fullscreen will result in the menu floating top left. I currently do not know how to fix this but will look into it. If you know how don't hesitate to either write me or send me a pull request!
• If the image is an local path and it does not show. Try different ways to write the local path. If this still does not work then try putting the image in a folder in your MagicMirror folder and use as local path foldername/imagename.
• If only heigh or width is set for an image the other size will scale to maintain it the image it's original aspect ratio.
• Module name is case sensitive.
• If both the text and symbol aren't set for a button then the button won't contain anything, but still show the border.
• The symbols are all form the Font Awesome website.
• The text may contain HTML tags and will be displayed as HTML.
