@chris1971 said in MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - Replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast:

npm ERR! node v6.12.0
npm ERR! npm v3.10.10

WAY downlevel…

should be node 16 and npm 8

use my install script, it sets up everything…
see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

[chris1971]

I only have to type <“$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)”> in the command line and the Update will be done automatically? No changes to the existing System?

[sdetweil]

@chris1971 no type, just copy paste ( use ssh VM from desktop/laptop)

but still it’s a two part process, check by default, advise, make no changes

then rerun with Parm at the end to DO the upgrade

if you are ALREADY at the latest release, it will abort, unless that Parm is force

Awesome module! Question for you: I am using MMM-Wallpaper and some of the text can be hard to read during certain wallpapers. I looked in the MMM-OpenWeatherForecast.css file but did not see an obvious place to change the color for the text highlighted in the red boxes below. I would like to set them to white (#FFFFFF). Can you tell me where in that css to set that? Thanks for your help!

[sdetweil]

@BerkSmash1984 I do not know … but you can find out thru using the developers console

@sdetweil
Thank you! I will dig into it via the dev console

It uses the defaults from MagicMirror for grey text. I use:

root {
	--color-text: #DDD;
	--color-text-dimmed: #666;
	--color-text-bright: #fff;
      --color-background: #000;
	
}

/* Originals: 
  --color-text: #999;
  --color-text-dimmed: #666;
  --color-text-bright: #fff;
  --color-background: #000;
/*

Anyone know how to get the entire table to center within the region? I don’t want to center the contents, only the position of the table being built by the app.

thanks!

[sdetweil]

@BKeyport

position: relative
either use margin or x and width, margin is easier

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil the problem is that I can’t find the right CSS class to apply it to.

[sdetweil]

@BKeyport did u use the dev console to examine the content? click on the element u mean to adjust?

may not be a class, so you would have to select more … just have to be careful if the table is in a div, in a div… then its ‘size’ and position are relative to the parent (div) …

.modulename table {
position: relative
...
...
}

this is my goto for figuring out the selector ( the thing before the { )
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.php

look at the css for the form in MMM-Config

https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config/blob/main/webform.css

selector doesn’t have to start with a class…
note in the cheat sheet its ALWAYS selects ALL elements that match

[BKeyport]

@BerkSmash1984 FYI, there’s more ways to make things easier to read - fade the background - or add a background to the modules themselves.

Here’s how to add a background to the modules:

the .5 is the opacity in this case, I’ve got it set to 50% visible.

.module {
  background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.5); 
}

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil found it. Missing a * on the opening CSS when I did it…

.MMM-OpenWeatherForecast * {
	box-sizing: border-box;
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
}

does it, for anyone else that runs across this.

[BKeyport]

@BerkSmash1984 I’ve also found, in the documentation for MMM-Wallpaper, a “filter” option - If you don’t want to put a background on the modules, you can use this to improve readability.

[BerkSmash1984]

@BKeyport
Thanks for the responses! The filter for MMM-Wallpaper worked perfectly (I actually had values specified already but must have forget when I first setup the module). I dropped the grayscale and brightness down to 0.2 and that seems to be the sweet spot for ensure the default text color is legible, regardless of the background.

Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it!

I started a new setup of and the module was working. After installation of other modules (e.g. google maps) the module isn’t working anymore. I tried to delete and reinstall and got following info:

Pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-OpenWeatherForecast $ npm install

Any recommendations?

[sdetweil]

@chris1971 sadly some modules interfere with others. haven’t seen this combo as a problem before.

the messages just mean the module hasn’t been updated in a while…

i’d erase the package-lock.json
remove the node_modules folder
and npm install again

ignore the audit message nothing we can do about it.
or use the --no-audit parm on the npm install

[chris1971]

thanks for the fast reply - do you have some more detailled steps from me as a “newbie”…

[sdetweil]

@chris1971 no… do exacty what I said… and try again …

look in the logs, open the developers window (crtrl-shift-i on the mm screen keyboard), select the console tab and look for red error messages…

[chris1971]

o.k. deleted the package-lock.json and node_modules folder. No change…

In which logs do I have to look?
