A second to slow,@strawberry-3-141 beat me to it

A photo finish? Thanks to both of you. :thumbsup_tone1:

           {
    			module: 'MMM-doomsDay',
    			position: 'top_left', // This can be any of the regions, best results in center regions
    			config: {
        			doomsDay: "2017-02-24 24:00:00",  // the end day of the countdown, format is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, 
        			toWhat: 'Open the pool!',  // the title of your countdown event
				present: 'We are gonna rock',  //  What it should say on doomsDay date
				singular: `Day Left`, // what it should say when it's only one day left, default is `Day Left`
				plural: 'Days Left', // what it should say when it's more days left, default is `Days Left`
				}
		},

Ok, now the display says, “Open the pool!”, but underneath is says, “0 Days Left”

@Mykle1 okey, then my fix didn’t do what I thought. I have restored it to as before, do a new git pull to get the last version again.

I will have to fix the half-day bug when I get back home :)

I see you have a new designation.
Congratulations, Mr. Module Developer!

Just a follow up. I did the git pull to go back to the original version as you advised. I didn’t disable the module but I did set a new doomsDay for Tuesday. (This was yesterday) The module correctly reported “4 Days Left”. but as of this morning, it still reads "4 Days Left.

@Mykle1 Finally home, and I believe I have fixed this issue now!
do a new git pull and it should work in the mornings as well :D

@illskool You should also do an update on this module! :D

Thanks bro. Gonna do that right now.
Ok, I have my test running for tomorrow. The module is correctly displaying “1 Day Left”

{
    			module: 'MMM-doomsDay',
    			position: 'top_right', // This can be any of the regions, best results in center regions
    			config: {
        			doomsDay: "2017-02-27 24:00:00", // the end day of the countdown
        			toWhat: 'Build Bed!', // the title of your countdown event
				present: 'Get to it!',
				singular: 'Day Left', // what it should say when it's only one day left, default is `Day Left`
				plural: 'Days Left', // what it should say when it's more days left, default is `Days Left`
				}
		},

It seems I’m still having some problems with this. It worked on the last test, and displayed the present: string correctly, but now it’s not working again. Below is my config with the doomsDay set for tomorrow and a screenshot of the display still reporting 2 Days Left

    			module: 'MMM-doomsDay',
    			position: 'top_right', // This can be any of the regions, best results in center regions
    			config: {
        			doomsDay: "2017-03-01 24:00:00", // the end day of the countdown
        			toWhat: 'Doctor Dave Wed', // the title of your countdown event
				present: 'Doctor Dave 11:30',
				singular: 'Day Left', // what it should say when it's only one day left, default is `Day Left`
				plural: 'Days Left', // what it should say when it's more days left, default is `Days Left`
				}
		},

Somewhere between now and when I posted my previous comment, the module updated to 1 Day left.

broberg

@Mykle1 I think a higher updateInterval may be in order. the 5 Hours set now maybe is a bit to much,

in the config you can add

updateInterval: 1 * 3600000,

To set it to update every hour instead!

@broberg

Done. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks for your time and effort. :thumbsup_tone1:

broberg

@Mykle1 And thank you for all the beta testing! :D

My pleasure. Woke up to the module displaying the correct present: entry. Nice!

@broberg

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but as of this morning, the module is still not performing correctly. Yesterday, I set a simple test for tomorrow. It correctly reported 2 Days Left. This morning (7:09am) it still reports 2 Days Left. I’ve made only the changes that you have advised.

sorry. no screenshot. I’m not at my normal computer

@broberg

Just glanced at the mirror and doomsDay is now reporting 1 more day. I don’t know at what time that occurred.

Mykle1

@Mykle1

Reporting the correct present: message this morning. I’ll now set a week long countdown and see how that goes. I’ll try not to bother you anymore

I know I said I would try not to bother you anymore with this but . . .

I set doomsDay: "2017-03-15 24:00:00", which is the Ides of March, just as a test. I keep testing because I really want this module to work for me. Well, as of 8:50am today, 2017-03-04. the module is reporting 12 More Days instead of 11. The last test didn’t update the Days Left until late morning, early afternoon. I wouldn’t mind if it was slow in updating by an hour or two but it’s no good to me if it’s 12 hours behind

Sorry

broberg

@Mykle1 Okay, do a new git pull now. I have altered the method of rounding the numbers, which I should have done from the beginning if I knew better :P

Anyhow. Try the new version!
