MMM-Worldclock

I used to install the original woldclock module, just switched to this one and it worked out of the box.

Thanks for the work. :clapping_hands:

How do I center horizontally at the top of the screen instead of left?

[sdetweil]

@SymmetriC put it in the top_center position

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil or top_bar

[SymmetriC]

@sdetweil Thank you! That worked and the solution was easier than I thought! lol

@BKeyport, @ulrichwisser and all: Please let me know if the following questions would be better served under a new topic, but since my issues originated with this older module, and the new module shares the same name I thought it appropriate to post under this topic…

Issue: the old module is no longer supported by the developer, who suggests using a newer module which uses the same module name. After cloning the new module, the instructions call for doing an ‘npm ci’ command, which fails due to a lack of an existing package-lock,json file.

Question: Is there something different I should be doing, o si this something the developer needs to fix?

@JohnGalt npm install then

[JohnGalt]

@sdetweil – That’s what I thought. Just did that and it’s working now…

Thanks, as always!

[BKeyport]

My version of the module developed a fatal bug that I couldn’t get rid of… The best move was to shut it down.

[JohnGalt]

@BKeyport – Sorry to hear that, but thanks for the module while you maintained it.

And a big thanks for directing us to another module, and not just leaving it hanging out there!
