MMM-Fortune

Description:

Fortunes exactly as you would find them inside a Fortune Cookie. Words of wisdom first. Then a phrase in English, followed by the phrase in Chinese lettering and the pronunciation. Lastly, lucky lottery numbers. No one has ever won the Powerball Lottery using the numbers from a fortune cookie. Will you be the first? Good luck!

Examples:

css file included for coloring and sizing.

Great job! is it possible to translate in a other language ?

cowboysdude · May 17, 2017, 7:16 PM

I do not believe the api supports other languages.

You are absolutely right. I checked the api and it is only in English.

Thanks. This API is only in English. However, if you can find one in your language I’ll be happy to give it a go.

I only see the square blocks where it is supposed to have the Chinese translation.

I used the Raspbian Jessie lite; Is there possibly a dependency that this needs that is not included?

First, thanks for trying out my module.

Second, thanks for pointing that out. I neglected to include npm install into the ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Fortune in the installation instructions of the readme.

Other than that, the characters are part of the data itself, as you can see.

[{"fortune":{"message":"One false move may lose the game.","id":"8"},"lesson":{"english":"English-language books","chinese":"英文书","pronunciation":"Yīngwén shū","id":""},"lotto":{"id":"","numbers":[33,55,18,30,17,10]}}]

Hopefully, the dependencies will fix your problem. If it is a problem with jesse lite then I really don’t know how to correct the issue.

Let me know how you make out.

I just downloaded and re-installed MMM-Fortune just to see what would happen. Before I even installed the dependencies it worked fine, albeit, on my windows dev machine. Installed the dependencies and again, it worked fine. I hope Jessie Lite, or the version of Pi you are using, isn’t the reason for the characters not being displayed.
