config error somewhere, need help
-
@TaylorTech22 Did you to remove the modules one by one to see which one is going wrong ?
-
My suggestion would be start over… use the standard config and add one thing at a time…see if it works then add the next until you get to what’s not working…
-
@TaylorTech22 said in config error somewhere, need help:
@strawberry-3.141 config/config. js is what I enter
What do you mean?
-
another thing I could spot from viewing your config is that the timezone for the clock module should go into a
config: {}, but this will not help you out with the black screen. -
Somebody should make EASY configuration system, or… all module developers should provide DEFAULT ACTIVE SAMPLE CONFIGURATION.
Or, at least, neater JSlint parser should be supported. -
@Sean all you mentioned exists ;)
-
@strawberry-3.141 ??? exists?
-
@cowboysdude @strawberry-3-141 asked if my config file was named correctly
-
@Sean there is remotecontrol and admininterface to configure the mirror, most of the devs supply a sample config without api keys and and somewhere out there is a linter https://twitter.com/roramirez/ status/843121280601669632 @roramirez
-
@cowboysdude so whats the easy way to start over? may seem like a dumb question, but how to I remove current config and use default
-
@TaylorTech22 here is the sample config file https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/master/config/config.js.sample
-
@strawberry-3.141 just delete whats in there and paste this?
-
well, I figured it out… Thats what i get for not pasting the ENTIRE file into the syntax checker. The very first item of very first line had a
]before the text. dont know how it got there. good thing i copied my original config in a text editor. Thanks for all the help. -
@strawberry-3.141 Sounds nice. but looks not sufficient for beginners. (For me, sometimes configuration problem throws a headache to me. Even that module was which I made.) Maybe we need totally different approach in next version.(But I have no idea how to do. )
I’m not a developer, I worked as products and business designer, so I meet not only experts but also the end users in every day . One thing I’ve found,
MMis a real good toy for hobbyists. but this approach is somehow difficult to who is not familiar with IT.Whatever, my mention was just grumbling. nevermind. :)

@TaylorTech22 Congratulation! :D

@Sean said in config error somewhere, need help:

Personally, I DO provide a config entry with each module and I think most others do, as well. However, I have seen some that were not complete, where copying and pasting would only result in an error.
In the meantime, I refer people to How to add modules, which should give them a better understanding of the process.

This feature is include in the last release. Now you can use
