Is there a way to display the content of a file on a map ?

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

One way that may work is to use the script sensor, and have the text from the file appear in the sensor message instead of the channels. Then you can use a "Sensor (message only)" map object (from the "Status Icons" group) to display the entire sensor message.

Kind regards, Sasa Ignjatovic, Tech Support Team

Hello, thanks for the response. I did as you said and wrote the value to the channel message, looks good so far. But now I struggle to change the font size of my custom "only-message-sensor".

I read in the forms that I must use

style="font-size:48px"

to change the font size but wherever I tried to paste it in it wouldn’t work ...

This is the sensor-code:

!--Status Icons: Sensor message only-->
<div class="map_object map_icon2 map_icon_large mapicon_status_transparent" id="<@itemid>" objectid="<@objectid>" subid="<@subid>" style="<#mapobject type="coordinates" subid="<@subid>" mode="<@editmode>">
  <#mapobject type="objectgrip" mode="<@editmode>">
  <#mapobject type="htmlbefore" subid="<@subid>">
  <#checkobjecttype objecttype="sensor" nicemessage="true" id="<@objectid>">

  <div style="clear: both;"><#objectstatus name="message" show="textraw" id="<@objectid>"></div>

  <#mapobject type="htmlafter" subid="<@subid>">
</div>

Hello,

Please try the solution mentioned in this article.

Hi,

unfortunately, the solution mentioned in this article doesn´t work for me.

i tried adding .customalarms_biggerfont td { font-size: 30px !important; }

to the styles_custom.css (which was blank)

This is the Sensor Code I used:

<!--Status Icons: Sensor message only-->
<div class="map_object map_icon2 map_icon_large mapicon_status_transparent customalarms_biggerfont" id="<@itemid>" objectid="<@objectid>" subid="<@subid>" style="<#mapobject type="coordinates" subid="<@subid>" mode="<@editmode>">">
  <#mapobject type="objectgrip" mode="<@editmode>">
  <#mapobject type="htmlbefore" subid="<@subid>">
  <#checkobjecttype objecttype="sensor" nicemessage="true" id="<@objectid>">

  <div style="clear: both;"><#objectstatus name="message" show="textraw" id="<@objectid>" ></div>

  <#mapobject type="htmlafter" subid="<@subid>">
</div>

I also tried adding .customalarms_biggerfont td { font-size: 30px !important; }

to the styles_custom_v2.css, which I already use to customize the color of another Sensor

.customalarms_biggerfont {

}

but this change also didn´t have any effect. Even a Server restart, which was required to make the color change take effect back then, didn´t help.

Any idea what’s wrong?

I have looked into this a bit further, and it seems that you can't increase the font for map objects that have a fixed size. This does work for map object for which you can change the size (like for the "Data Tables" objects).

ok, so unfortunately without the ability to resize the text I need another solution, any ideas ?

Hello,

I'm afraid that the map editor is a little bit limited regarding this matter. Nevertheless, I found an other KB article which may help you: https://kb.paessler.com/en/topic/62000-values-only-on-maps

I'm afraid that we can't provide further support for advanced customizations.

Kind regards.
