    @karsten13 said in Standard Weather Module showing unwanted header:

    there is no property with above name

    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.

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

        @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
            .
            Regards,
            Ralf

              appendLocationNameToHeader: false,
              

              and for header

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

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