Hi DMiradakis, thanks for sharing such useful file and info.. It works fine, schedule is refreshing and dashboards are updating accordingly in full screen and rotating. The issue that I am having is that when I Press esc and close the PBI ones I open it again, it’s automatically starting, there is no stop function. Is something that I am missing ?!
Hi Anonymous ,
Thanks for the feedback! It has been a little while since I last posted that, and I was wondering if anyone was still going through and searching for the same thing I was.
In regards to your question, I know exactly what you are referring to. I noticed the same issue when I was testing this extension several months ago, back when I setup the Github repository.
If I had to guess, I need to modify the code to only fire off that refresh/rotate slide Javascript loop once an event happens from the user (e.g. you click a start button, or something of that sort). It would appear that that was how _picoloto43 had originally set it up. My problem is I am (as the moment) not a fluent programmer in Javascript, but I know that the code utilizes the well-known Angular Javascript library among other things.
There is some documentation on Google Chrome extensions and how to communicate certain events and triggers to the browser, and I haven't had the time to go back and teach myself how to implement them. That might be a good place for you to start, unless I can return to it and figure it out before then. When I was troubleshooting it a few months ago, that is where I had left off.
My company is actually waiting for me to finalize some department and executive-level Power BI Reports to release to our Production Floor where I will be using my own extension, so I have to return to this very soon and figure it out. If you want, fork my Github repository to your own so you can keep up with any commits that I make.
I am in the process of teaching myself several Data Science techniques and languages, one of them being Javascript, so hopefully I can come up with a solution soon. I'm sorry I don't have more information for you in the mean time! Keep in touch, and let me know how it keeps working for you!
It's so nice to know I was able to help someone else out! The Power BI community is a really nice group of people.
Best Regards,
Daniel
