Toggle specific instance

[cdkonecny]

Is there a way to toggle visibility of a specific instance of a module, say MMM-iFrame, since I have a number of instances of this module? Thanks!

Not at the moment. I can add something when I get home next week.

Oh, that would be great. Thank you so much

Feature has been added. Please update to 0.1.5 and try it.

Basically, add instance: "whatever" to both the menu item and the other module's config section and you should be able to toggle the module that matches both that name and instance name.

Relevant new section of README: If you have multiple instances of a module, add an instance name to both that module's config and the menu item (see third example below)

Examples:

moduleHide1: { title: "Hide Clock", icon: "minus-square", name: "clock" },
moduleShow1: { title: "Show Clock", icon: "plus-square", name: "clock" },
moduleToggle1: { title: "Toggle iFrame", icon: "info-circle", name: "MMM-iFrame", instance: "Frame1"}
   # For example above, in MMM-iFrame-s config section, you also need to add `instance: "Frame1"`

Can I toggle (hide/show) of say "clock" or any module? I'm just a hobbyist, not a programmer. Could you give me an example how to add an instance in the config of a module? Thanks.

Here's an example modules section of a config file. This has 2 different "clock" modules, one digital at the top left of the screen and one with digital and analog clocks in the center. The menu has 2 options for toggling the two different clocks.

modules: [
  {
    module: "alert",
  },
  {
    module: "updatenotification",
    position: "top_bar"
  },
  {
    module: "clock",
    position: "middle_center",
    config: {
      instance: "analog_clock",
      displayType: "both"
    }
  }, 
  {
    module: "clock",
    position: "top_left",
    config: {
      instance: "digital_clock"
    }
  },
  {
    module: 'MMM-OnScreenMenu',
    position: 'bottom_right',
    /* Valid positions: 'top_right', 'top_left', 'bottom_right', 'bottom_left' */
    config: {
      menuItems: {
        moduleToggle1: { 
          title: "Toggle Analog Clock", 
          icon: "clock-o", 
          name: "clock", 
          instance: "analog_clock"
        },
        moduleToggle2: { 
          title: "Toggle Digital Clock", 
          icon: "clock-o", 
          name: "clock", 
          instance: "digital_clock" // 
        },
        restart: { title: "Restart MagicMirror", icon: "refresh" },
        reboot: { title: "Reboot", icon: "spinner" },
        shutdown: { title: "Shutdown", icon: "power-off" }
      },
    }
  }
]

Note the instance: lines in the 2 clock sections and how they match up to the MMM-OnScreenMenu menuItems section.

I see.  This way I can toggle between analog and digital.  What about toggling between on and off (show/hide clock)? Mcwchu

Thanks a lot.  After putting your codes in my MM config file, I see how "instance" work.  I got what I want.
