Please correct syntax errors.

It could be something as simple as a comma, or quote being out of place, or missing.

Post your config here for help, but please follow this guide on how to post code on the forum correctly.

I have tried several ways and have even ran the npm run config:check it says thet expected to see { but sees something else.

You won’t make that mistake again. I’m glad you’re up and running.

I’m not familiar with those at all. Create a new topic and hopefully you will get some assistance with that.

Good luck! :^)

@Mykle1 is there a way to scale the entire Module? I’ve tried doing the graph but the forecast is still huge on my screen.

[strawberry 3.141]

@Littlejohn21 you can try

.MODULENAME {
  transform: scale(0.5, 0.5);
}

if you replace modulename with your actual module name, this should give you a height and with of 50% of the actual size

Follow @strawberry-3-141 instructions. I can’t imagine why your forecast would be huge. I do have a question for you. What position have you assigned to the weatherforecast module in the config?

[Littlejohn21]

@strawberry-3-141 @Mykle1

im having trouble getting it to accept the line you provided it gives me the syntax error code when starting the program. am i supposed to have it inside the MMM-forecast-io module or in its own spot? ive tried both, tried without the . infront of the module name tried with a space after scale ect.

the position is top left and it takes up alsost 1/2 the top of the screen.

[Littlejohn21]

@Mykle1 @strawberry-3-141

here is a screen shot for reference.

[yawns]

@Littlejohn21
The lines provided by Mykle and Strawberry need to go into custom.css in your css folder, not into the module file.

[Littlejohn21]

@yawns
Literally just found that out and tried it! haha it worked thanks guys!!

[Littlejohn21]

@Mykle1 @strawberry-3-141 @yawns

now im having an issue where it wont sit in the corner if that makes sense?it keeps a buffer only on the MMM-forecast-io all others are right agains the edge i installed

body {
  margin: 0px;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;

and that moved everything else to the edge but forcast-io stayed it even keeps a buffer when i relocate it to the other side of the screen…

sorry bout the phrase it was the first thing i figured out how to edit and since i’m making this for the wife well… figured i’d have fun with it :)

LMFAO! That is PERFECT!

Ok, so, in honor of your wife’s #@#'s, you can try this entry in your custom.css file. I assume you want to move the module to the right and up, so you only need margin-right: -40px; and margin-top: -40px;. Adjust those numbers accordingly until you get the result you want.

.MMM-MODULENAME {
  margin-left: 0px;
  margin-right: -40px; 
  margin-top: -40px;
  margin-bottom: 0px;
}

Hey quick question: how do I change the color of the precipitation graph? I’ve got a decent amount of custom CSS that’s working (including other things for this module) but for the life of me I cannot seem to change this one element?
Here’s what I’ve got going on for this module right now (more icon colors elsewhere, I gotta clean up the file!):

.MMM-forecast-io .summary {color: #aaa;}

.MMM-forecast-io .forecast-row .weathericon {color: #aaa}
.MMM-forecast-io .wi-night-alt-cloudy {color: #1a659e}
.MMM-forecast-io .wi-volcano {color: #8c2f39}

.MMM-forecast-io .precipitation-graph {color: #1a659e;}

.small.MMM-forecast-io .forecast {
  margin-right: 0px;
  margin-left: auto;
}
.small.MMM-forecast-io .summary {
  text-align: right;
}

I’m absolutely positive I’m missing something dumb here

[dmcinnes]

@pyrosmiley Hello! The precipitation graph is created using an HTML Canvas so unfortunately the colors cannot be tweaked by CSS apart from the border. The Javascript will need to be modified to support additional colors. Here is where the color is set for the curve and further up it draws the horizontal lines and tick marks. Ideally these colors are configurable. I’ve added an issue to the repo to track it!

I’m knee deep in another project, so if someone wants to take a crack at it, please be my guest :)

[pyrosmiley]

@dmcinnes Oh, okay — that makes a lot of sense! Glad to know it’s not just me missing something. I’ll take a look at the html and see what I can do, thanks for pointing that out for me.
