@Fonfon your config.js file that you just pasted the code into is inside your config folder, yes?

[Fonfon]

yes but i think the copie/pasted is not correct i re-try

[Fonfon]

[cowboysdude]

To save yourself time and double check do this…

go to your MagicMirror/config directory

type in terminal window:

cp config.js.sample config.js

Then restart your mirror… lets make sure it’s working first :)

if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {module.exports = config;}

is it the great form ?

[Mykle1]

@Fonfon I think it should be ‘France/Paris’ with capitals, and a comma after ‘top_left’,

Also, I think that if you leave the default at ‘none’ it will use your system clock

{
module : ‘clock’,
position : 'top_left’,
config: {
timezone: ‘France/Paris’
}
},

is it the great form ?

timezone Specific a timezone to show clock.

Possible examples values: America/New_York, America/Santiago, Etc/GMT+10
Default value: none

[Fonfon]

That’s right capitals and comma needed
you are the boss thanks !!

Just trying to be helpful. You’re welcome :thumbsup:

[cowboysdude]

@Fonfon

Just a suggestion that I give all new people… before you make changes to a working config.js make a copy of it… that way if you can’t figure out or you need something to compare it to you have your backup :)

Excellent advice, and I agree. We were just trying to get him a working config.js in the first place
