@greedyvegan yes, they are the same, that is why you need to add unique classes per my previous post, OR use the id value in custom css as the primary selector

#module_{number}_module-name

@sdetweil

ok, so since this isn’t working, do I change the item “classes” or “type” ?

let’s say I change it to “weatherDAY” and “weatherWEEK”
in the css do I change it to

.weatherDAY .weathericon {
.weatherWEEK .weathericon {

so on and so forth?

I also saw you say IF you choose the module number, be careful when adding modules because the number will change.

@greedyvegan sorry i posted to an issue

[greedyvegan]

@sdetweil thank you very much

[greedyvegan]

that didn’t work, I’m going to try something else

[sdetweil]

@greedyvegan what didnt work?

remember the thing before the {
is the selector clause,

it selects the elements the stuff after the { will apply to

i use this cheatsheet to help me build the selector clause

@sdetweil changing the classes name didn’t work for me, my custom name gets ignored

you noticed the dot in front of the class name , right?

. means element class (html class="foo", .foo) 
# means element id  (html id="module_0_clock", #module_o_clock)
nothing means html element (html img, body, div...)

in MM if you want to select elements in A module, then you would select the content starting with its id (#module_…) its classname (.modulename) or one of the classes specified in the classes:“xxx yyy”, property for that module

yes, other modules are easier to me because it’s only one focus

nothing means html element (html img, body, div…)

this confused me

believe me, I’m trying to understand.
I’m also trying everything I read/see for hours before reaching out for help

in config, I chose to uniquely identify the two weather “classes”
however the developer window mentions “class”
it also says “class=module weather weather” for both weather modules.
I think THIS is why modifying one modifies both.

the weather.js file says .currentWeather & .forecastWeather
the weather.css file doesn’t differentiate current & forecast classes. I’ve even read the current & forecast njk files for individual class indicators…

in custom.css I’m trying any and everything I see to individually identify and separate #module_5_weather from #module_6_weather

I feel like my focus is in the wrong place(s) and i’m overlooking something extremely simple

[sdetweil]

@greedyvegan show me the config for the two modules , xxx out the api key

copy paste, dont change anything else

[greedyvegan]

@sdetweil

[sdetweil]

@greedyvegan ok, the ‘classes’ property in this case is an mm config option NOT a module config option.

so it goes outside of the config:{} section, along with position and header

see these options in the doc
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/configuration.html#example

I knew it

thank you very much, I’ll play around with this in a few

[sdetweil]

@greedyvegan note that modules can also define properties with the same names as we use for mm properties. so one has to check carefully. ive only made this mistake a hundred times…

[greedyvegan]

@sdetweil lol noted
