      you are in your home directory, not in your MagicMirror folder.
      Run cd MagicMirror first

          Friends,

          using version 2.1.0 you must have the remoteFile within the configuration of the compliments.js.

          the file should start like this:

          defaults: {
          	updateInterval: 30000,
          	remoteFile: 'put your file here',
          	fadeSpeed: 4000
          },
          

          it is only working with a local file.

          in my config/config.js i did not change anything for compliments module.

            no, this information is wrong. And you should avoid modifying module files.
            Try what I have written above, it is working fine

              @yawns Sorry but your option did not work for me.
              Also please check the original compliment.js file:
              https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/develop/modules/default/compliments/compliments.js
              it is standard prepared there.

              Please also check line 50:
              if (this.config.remoteFile != null) {

              At first I also thought this would be the major config file, but it is not. Its the module.
              If you console.log(this.config) it will give you an object like this. All information from the compliment.js

                  updateInterval: 30000,
                  remoteFile: null,
                  fadeSpeed: 4000
              

              That is why i think @schlachtkreuzer6 should give this a try.
              You have also the latest version?

              I understand that modules should not be changed.

              Just trying to help.
              Please do correct me if I am wrong!

                @DvdEnde the part from the config in the config.js overwrites the values in default with Object.assign()

                so when you define remoteFile in the config.js the null value is overwritten

                Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                  @DvdEnde Please don’t get me wrong, but this is basic javascript.

                  this.config.remoteFile != null checks if the variable “remoteFile” is set in your config file. Afterwards you only have two scenarios:

                  1. the variable is not set -> this if clause fails and no remote file is loaded.
                  2. the variable is set to any value -> this if clause is true and the function complimentFile() is called, which tries to load the file defined in your config file, in my case “compliments.json”.

                  If loading the remote file fails you see an error message in console output of your browser. Otherwise it does not produce any log.

                    Don’t worry, i know it is basic javascript.
                    @strawberry-3-141
                    i thought so too, but it is NOT

                    I just now changed the compliment.js (and deleted the remoteFile completly from here) and added this within the config.

                    My object is simple

                        fadeSpeed: 4000
                        updateInterval: 30000
                    

                    On line 33 console.log(this.config.remoteFile) = undefined

                      @yawns OK I created a compliments_test.json file and pasted your example into it and it worked. It looks like it just doesn’t work with the currentweather objects in my compliments.json file for some reason. Do I need to nest the currentweather objects within the morning, afternoon, and evening arrays perhaps?
