Standard Weather Module showing unwanted header

[rkorell]

Hi Team,
may there a specialist for the standard weather module who can lead me in right direction…
It was disappeared for a while but re-introduces for unknown reasons:
The weather module displays a “standard” header (Location name) despite my personal config.js setting (see below).
I do have two instances of the module - as many others I guess - one current (classes: weather_current), one forecast (classes: weather_forecast).
The error is neither consistent nor reproducable:
Sometimes one of the instances shows a header, sometimes both, sometimes none of them.
The view is inconsistent, too for (HDMI attached) monitor and browser view!

And while playing around with custom CSS for this module I’ve identified that setting

.weather_current .module-header 
 {
border-bottom-width: 3;
}

in custom.css makes the module disappearing completely.

The weather module configuration in config.js is as follows:

// Wetter aktuell für Müllenborn		

		{
			module: "weather",
			disabled: false,
			position: "top_right", 
            header: "",
            classes: "weather_current", 
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openmeteo",
				type: "current",
				lat: 50.24127,
				lon: 6.61174403,
				onlyTemp: true, // zeigt nur die temp und icon, kein wind kein gar nix :-) 
				showSun: false,
				appendLocationToHeader: false,
				showFeelsLike: false,
			}
		},


// Wettervorhersage - 

		{
			module: "weather",
			position: "top_right",
			disabled: false,
			header: "",
			classes: "weather_forecast",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openmeteo",
				type: "forecast",
				lat: 50.24127,
				lon: 6.6174403,
				appendLocationToHeader: false,				

			}
		}, 

currently I have “solved” this with two entries in custom.css:

.weather_current .module-header 
 {
color: black;
border-bottom-width: 0;
border-bottom-color: black;
}

.weather_forecast .module-header 
 {
color: black;
border-bottom-width: 0;
border-bottom-color: black;
}

But this is kind of unsatisfactory …

I guess there is a bug in the module - what do you think?

Thanks and regards,
Ralf

@rkorell said in Standard Weather Module showing unwanted header:

appendLocationToHeader

read the docs, there is no property with above name …

[rkorell]

@karsten13 OK, have found this as part of an if clause and as member of defaut configuration in module code.
If this causes the unwanted behaviour: sorry!

Thanks.
Ralf

[rkorell]

@karsten13 nope :-(
Deleting “appendLocationToHeader” doesn’t resolve the issue…
One of the headers (in this case weather_forecast instance) immediatly shows up if I disable the blackness of text/border-bottom …

@karsten13 said in Standard Weather Module showing unwanted header:

the part of module code I’ve meant is obvioulsy doing something wrong:
getHeader is “explained” as “// Override getHeader method.”

	getHeader () {
		if (this.config.appendLocationNameToHeader && this.weatherProvider) {
			if (this.data.header) return `${this.data.header} ${this.weatherProvider.fetchedLocation()}`;
			else return this.weatherProvider.fetchedLocation();
		}

		return this.data.header ? this.data.header : "";
	},

I’ve simply replaced this with

getHeader () {
		return "";
	},

And - no surprise - header disappears.

Ralf

@rkorell OK, just seen at least one other mistake:
I’ve picked “appendLocationToHeader” but this should be “appendLocationNameToHeader” …

[rkorell]

@karsten13 ,
yupp this seems to do the trick.
undoing code changes and adding

appendLocationNameToHeader: false,

to weather config let the header disappear …
Thanks!

Ralf

(not understood why and how but at least this way the header lines are really not present - the blackness idea makes them invisible but they still occupy room.)

@rkorell the old weather api returned the location Name, and someone decided to show it in the MagicMirror module header field

but you can disable this function by setting the config property to false (default true)

the v3 api does NOT return the location Name, so you need to set the property to false AND YOU have to set the header manually
header:“…”, after the module:“weather”,

Dear Sam,
Thanks for this.
Which one of the config properties are you referencing to?
I‘ve set

header: „“

This definitely doesn‘t work because it‘s overwritten somewhere
.

Which one of the config properties are you referencing to?

appendLocationNameToHeader: false,

and for header

{
     module:"weather",
     header:"something",
     position:
     config: {
       ...
     }
}

all of these properies belong to MagicMirror, same for every module
