Announcement: HADashboard v2 Beta3!

aimc · June 1, 2017, 4:13pm

No, follow the docs referenced at the top of the thread. The docs you linked are for the old HADashboard.

AJStubbsy · June 2, 2017, 7:22pm

Hi,
Can you tell me if there’s a way to change the date format on the clock widget please?

P.S. thanks aimc and anyone else who’s involved in making this. I can’t believe something this cool is freely available. You and the HA guys are legends!!

aimc · June 2, 2017, 11:23pm

Check the dashboard.md doc - there are some options in there for customising the clock

AJStubbsy · June 3, 2017, 10:17am

I’ve looked through but all I could find was options to change 12/24hr clock. Maybe I’ve missed it, I’ll have another look.
Cheers

ReneTode · June 3, 2017, 10:34am

you didnt miss it. dateformat isnt customisable (yet)
unless it can be changed with css (there is a lot possible with css, so i dont know if thats possible)

AJStubbsy · June 3, 2017, 10:43am

Thanks ReneTode. I can finally stop reading this DASHBOARD file now!!

ReneTode · June 3, 2017, 11:16am

how would you like the date shown?

AJStubbsy · June 3, 2017, 11:19am

I’d like the day before the month - dd/mm/yyyy.

aimc · June 3, 2017, 12:21pm

I haven’t tested it much but the date format should be picked up from your locale.

AJStubbsy · June 3, 2017, 12:31pm

It’s currently displaying as m/d/yyyy. My RPi is set to ‘en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8’, which I would expect to use the dd/mm/yyyy format. I’ll search around for the file that contains that info. Thanks for the new lead.

AJStubbsy · June 3, 2017, 12:43pm

I’ve run this command ‘date +%x’ and the output shows me that my current date format is ‘dd/mm/yy’. I think I’ll have to concentrate on the css approach to adjust the format. It’s not exactly a major problem as it is, it’s just confusing when I’m blurry eyed and low on caffeine!

ReneTode · June 3, 2017, 1:43pm

it isnt a solution for the long term, and it will be deleted the next time you update, but in the file

your_AD_root/appdaemon/appdaemon/widgets/baseclock/baseclock.js

you find a line which contains:

        self.set_field(self, "date", today.toLocaleDateString());

and on this webpage: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toLocaleDateString

you can find which options you can set for the toLocaleDateString() function.

{please dont tell @aimc that i told you this )

AJStubbsy · June 3, 2017, 1:45pm

lol! I’ll keep it to myself.

Thanks very much.

AJStubbsy · June 3, 2017, 1:53pm

That’s done it! Thanks for your help and don’t worry, the secret is safe with me!

pav · June 3, 2017, 5:53pm

A more European-friendly and/or user-definable date format is something I’ve been meaning to ask for for quite some time now.
Something which Hass itself could do with as well…

ReneTode · June 3, 2017, 6:05pm

i guess you could expect that local format should be what local people want
i dont use it so i have no idea what it would be for me.
in HA you can create a date sensor with any format you like.

but i am sure that a better customisable clock widget is on the list from Andrew for the future.

pav · June 3, 2017, 8:41pm

Sure you can format a sensor, but that doesn’t do much for the general UI - in e.g. Logbook, History, and the like. Not to mention the insistence on am/pm time format…
These things should be user-definable, and not rely on some systemwide setting. E.g. I run all my gear in (American) English, but that doesn’t mean I like American date/time formats…

ReneTode · June 3, 2017, 9:23pm

i agree that there are more things that should be customisable in HA
i didnt think about dates in the UI because i dont use those parts

Can someone help me resolve this error, please? It seems to not want to load the ‘hello’ dashboard. I wanted to fix this before attempting to make a dashboard for my HA setup.

The only change I made to appdash.py was this change for rpi by @quadportnick.

Also ‘$ ls -a /usr/src/app’ is empty and none of: /conf/compiled/html/default, /conf/compiled/html, /conf/compiled, and /conf exist.
