    @Richard238 said in Compliments setup:

    Thanks, it was that, and a missing } close curly bracket.

    Oh! Yes, I missed that one. Good catch on your part. So lets fix it in case anyone else looks at this for help. The correct entry would be this:

     {
    	module: 'compliments',
    	position: 'lower_third',
                config: {
                    anytime: [
                        "Compliment 1",
                        "Compliment 2",
                        "Compliment 3"
                    ]
                    }
    		}, 
    

    That’s better.

      Whilst the config.js now loads, it’s not showing the new, replacement compliments.

      I’ve restarted NPM, no change.

      I’ve powered Pi off & on, no change.

                            "Compliment 2",

        		morning: [
                            "morning Compliment 1",
                            "morning Compliment 2",
                            "morning Compliment 3"
        		],
        		afternoon: [
                            "afternoon Compliment 1",
                            "afternoon Compliment 2",
                            "afternoon Compliment 3"
        		],
        		evening: [
                            "evening Compliment 1",
                            "evening Compliment 2",
                            "evening Compliment 3"
        		]
                        }
        		}, 
        

        try this please. I do remember there was something like “all 3 cases need to exist, otherwise it takes default values for this”

            No difference, still uses default compliments:

                        config: {
                            anytime: [
                                "Compliment 1",
                                "Compliment 2",
                                "Compliment 3"
                            ],
                            morning: [
                                "morning Compliment 1",
                                "morning Compliment 2",
                                "morning Compliment 3"
                            ],
                            afternoon: [
                                "afternoon Compliment 1",
                                "afternoon Compliment 2",
                                "afternoon Compliment 3"
                            ],
                            evening: [
                                "evening Compliment 1",
                                "evening Compliment 2",
                                "evening Compliment 3"
                            ]
                        }
            		},

              Changing it to remoteFile, as described here, it works.

              Well, only after it’s still displayed all the default messages.

                Still not picking up different compliments:

                		{
                			module: 'compliments',
                			position: 'lower_third',
                            config: {
                			anytime: [
                				"Hey!"
                			],
                			morning: [
                				"Good morning, handsome!",
                				"Enjoy your day!",
                				"How was your sleep?"
                			],
                			afternoon: [
                				"Hello, beauty!",
                				"You look sexy!",
                				"Looking good today!"
                			],
                			evening: [
                				"Wow!",
                				"You!",
                				"Hi!"
                			]
                		},
                		updateInterval: 30000,
                		remoteFile: null,
                		fadeSpeed: 4000
                			/*config: {
                				remoteFile: 'compliments.json'
                			}*/
                		},

                  Another day, still no change, compliments ignoring whatever is in config.js.

                  Thank you.

                    Do you edit the config.js?
                    Well… you could be a outlaw and edit the “~/MagicMirror/modules/default/compliments/compliments.js”.
                    I’ve done that before and it works. But beware of typos. Make a backup! :)

                      That’s what I have done now, but it is only a fudge, a workaround.

                      What’s the problem with using config.js to make changes to the compliments module, why doesn’t it work?
