Weather

Just repost your entire config minus api keys…

Mykle1

still not working :(

My suggestion:

Start with a new config and get that working first.
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4528/how-to-create-a-working-config-for-absolute-beginners

Then when you want to add a module:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4231/how-to-add-modules-for-absolute-beginners

These tutorials walk you through the process. All you have to do is follow them line by line. There’s no guesswork. In the time that it takes you to read them, you’ll already be up and running, and you’ll learn something.

i think my sample file is jacked up. do we have another one on here i can download or copy/paste the code?

@Gamble your sample is corrupted? That’s odd…

Here’s the sample config!

@ranger33

Thanks. I got it to work as default and started to changes things one by one like the weather and news
But I put the trello app over the compliments module and it says invalid file. i put the compliments back in and now it’s all just a big black blank screen. i’m pretty confused here

ranger33

When you say put the trello app over compliments what do you mean? If you can explain a bit more we can certainly help yah just need to see what you’re seeing.

I don’t want the compliments so i replaced the compliments text with the trello text. Every time I add the trello it says it’s not a valid file

So here is what I did. I started from scratch with the sample file and it works or at least it worked the first time. Seems nomatter what changes the weather doesn’t display at all. I also have a nightmare of a time exiting the magic mirror app. I’ll do a control f4 and it closes and reopens right away. Or i’ll go to terminal and do a controlx then alt F4 to close the magic mirror and it freezes EVERY time. i have to reboot this pi every time i want to change something, it’s incredibility slow

For the news. I’ve tried changing the URL to a google news, abc7, or anything else I find and it just says loading. i even tried changing one little thing at at time and it still doesn’t work. i’ll post the code in a min. the pi is still loading the browser.

@Gamble you have two mistakes

position: "lower_third" has to be ````position: “lower_third”,``` (comma at the end)

config: {
  api_key: "**************",
  token: "https://trello.com/1/authorize?expiration=never&scope=read&response_type=token&name=Server%20Token&key=**********",
  list: "************"

has to be

config: {
  api_key: "**************",
  token: "https://trello.com/1/authorize?expiration=never&scope=read&response_type=token&name=Server%20Token&key=**********",
  list: "************"
}

missing closing curly bracket at the end

Thanks.
One step closer!
Weather doesn’t load and neither does trello. So how would I start to figure out why they don’t show up? All the text looks corrrect
