Compliments text cycler without the randomizer

[cowboysdude]

@cnelso24 You’ll have to tear the compliments module apart and use parts from it to construct what you want. NO sense in re-inventing the wheel :)

I’m new to JavaScript, so please correct me here if needed!
I gave it a go and deleted the randomness, didn’t try it out cause my RPI sin’t running, but this should work:

@washichi

it does not work. I tried loading your code into the compliments.js file and none of my modules loaded after that. Thank you for trying though. I am also very new, that’s why I am asking for help

[cowboysdude]

Easy way is if you don’t want random then enter just 1 entry under each time… ;) That way you don’t have to do anything to change it… it’ll just show what you want all the time …

The compliments module isn’t random. It rotates through whatever is in the module according to the time of day…

So if you want it say something different then change it :)

@cowboysdude

hmm… good point but then it will only display 1 string at a time, am I correct? What I am trying to do is display 6-8 strings all the time in a specific order.

@cnelso24 Do a search on here… someone was asking or trying to make this work with a separate json file that they wanted to create… maybe you can do it that way.

Try this forum… near the bottom:

yawns was talking about something that could possibly work!

[washichi]

@cnelso24 Okay, so what you want is more something like hello world, but 6 times.
I’ll get my PI back tomorrow, I will setup magicmirror and play around with the modules.
I’m planning on making my own module, so this is a good exercise :p

I’ll let you know If I got it working

[yawns]

I just put this together, based on the original compliments module. I am not sure if this should be added to the default module by PullRequest, which is why I created a standalone repository first.
