Changing compliments?

[A Former User]

@bhepler Thanks for the assistance. When I get a chance I will definitely give it a try.

@bhepler I have hade a lot of trouble getting compliments to work correctly on my mirror. I then simply copy and pasted your code into my config.js file and I am still having the same issue. When I run Magic Mirror (even when using your exact code) the module only shows “compliments” in a larger font then “module_2_compliments” underneath. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, is this an easy fix?

@VirtualLeonard You probably modified the compliments module. Which is something you shouldn’t do. I suggest you backup you config and reinstall the mirror.

All customisations should be done using the config.js, you should never need to modify a default module.

[bhepler]

@VirtualLeonard Hmm. Give @MichMich 's suggestion a try. Don’t forget that after you reinstall the mirror software you drop your config.js file back into its proper place.

If that still doesn’t work, either post your config.js file here and let us take a look at it or upload it somewhere such as dropbox so we can try to drop it into our mirrors.

What exactly should the config.js file look like when I try to change the compliments?

[bhepler]

@AAPS See my post in this thread from November 4th. If you compare the code I included to the default entry for the compliments module, it should get you started. The default code is only this:

{
    module: 'compliments',
    position: 'bottom_center'
},

Basically, everything I included in the config section on Nov 4th is new code that will modify how the module behaves.

hello,

this helped me a lot. I only have one problem left and that’s when I tried to put more than 3 compliments for each part of a day, the mirror didn’t want to show any of compliments. Is there a ways to change the amount of compliments for each part or is it limited to only 3?

Thank you

@matic55maci

I think it’s likely that there is an error in the way you added the compliments (formatting?). Post your config for compliments in a code block

Hello
is there an option to define compliments in languages other than English ?
thanks.

@algl

You can simply add your own compliments in any language you want and they will appear as you enter them.
