Time countup or down wrong MMM-CoupleDays, MMM-CountUp.

[plainbroke]

MMM-CountUp 19 yrs 40 months 3 days
MMM-CoupleDays 29yrs 31months 15days.
Both are showing more months than there are in a year.
Is there a fix for this by chance?

@plainbroke can you show the config you are using?

Here is that section of the config.js:

                {
                        module: "MMM-CountUP",
                        position: "middle_center",
                        config: {
                        header: "Time Since We Took Possession of this House",
                                date: "2006-10-02",
                                time: "00:00:01",
                                showFullDate: true,
                                showSeconds: false,
                                showOnlyWeeks: false,
                                textColor: "red"
                            }
                },
                {
                        module: "MMM-CoupleDays",
                        position: "middle_center",
                        config: {
                                name1: "Stacey" ,
                                name2: "Jeff Have Been Married", // If name2 is>
                                date: "1996-09-28", // year-month-day
                                transitionDuration: 5000, // in ms
                                language: "en", // (filename without the .json >
                                textColor: "yellow" // any valid CSS color valu>
                        }
                },

@plainbroke thx… I changed the Countup config like this

      {
        module: "MMM-CountUP",
        position: "middle_center",
        classes:"page1",
        header: "Time Since We Took Possession of this House",
        config: {
                date: "2006-10-02",
                time: "00:00:01",
                showFullDate: true,
                showSeconds: false,
                showOnlyWeeks: false,
                textColor: "red"
         }
      },

just moved the header outside config.
and got this (running on MM 2.37)

@sdetweil
Ok that works for MMM-CountUp.

The MMM-CoupleDays is actually 29 years 11 months and 41 days.
Is that possibly correct, with leap years in there?
We keep laughing because there only a maximum of 31 days in a month…

[sdetweil]

@plainbroke
online calc says
It has been 29 years, 11 months, and 30 days since September 28, 1996 (or a total of 10,956 days). Tomorrow will mark exactly 30 years since that date.

code has a bug

    const totalDays = this.getDuration("days");
    const yearMonthDays = years * 365 + months * 30; <----
    const days = totalDays - yearMonthDays;

@sdetweil
So I need to put in a thing to the module developer?
By the way thank you for all the help we thought we where getting senile.

[sdetweil]

@plainbroke yes, I think an issue on the module github repo is the right thing…
I’m old too… ask that same question every day!!
