Copy and paste of text to nano config/config.js

Your config entry should look like this:

{
	module: "currentweather",
	position: "bottom_center",
	config: {
		location: "THIS CAN BE EMPTY",
		locationID: "YOUR LOCATION ID",  //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt
		appid: "YOUR API KEY GOES HERE", 
	}
},

@Mykle1 Hi I tried yesterday and it did not work. I tried just now and it copied the code in replacement of the original current weather but it still did not work. please see below my config.js

@IDCreate

My answer is above your question :-)

[IDCreate]

@Mykle1 thanks that was what it looked like at the beginning and was not doing anything so I went ahead as suggested https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules/default/currentweather

To test things out and to get things working you mentioned I needed an api key. So I went to the section information in the module set up a copy and past there example presuming that would be a working one.

{
		module: "currentweather",
		position: "top_right",	// This can be any of the regions.
									// Best results in left or right regions.
		config: {
			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
			location: "Amsterdam,Netherlands",
			locationID: "", //Location ID from http://openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt
			appid: "abcde12345abcde12345abcde12345ab" //openweathermap.org API key.
		}

But unfortunately nothing happens, I thought if I was to simply post there code in replacement for mine to test it as above it would work. :-(

@IDCreate said in Copy and paste of text to nano config/config.js:

presuming that would be a working one.

You presume incorrectly. That is an example. You need to go to openweathermap.org and sign up for your own API key. Get your locationID there at the same time. Enter those into your config

@Mykle1 ok thanks going there as we speak

[Mykle1]

@IDCreate

So. now your config entry should look like this:

{
	module: "currentweather",
	position: "top_right",
	config: {
		location: "", // This can be empty. Leave it as is
		locationID: "2639577",  // inside the quotes
		appid: "YOUR API KEY GOES HERE",  // inside the quotes
	}
},

@Mykle1 thanks you’ve a fantastic help. I’m trying it now but If I’m unable to do something like this. I don’t know how I’m going to be able to move forward, well I will just keep trying.

Good attitude. You’ll get it.

[IDCreate]

@Mykle1 well I’ve done all you said, entered the locationID and put in the API KEY an it looks exactly like your code. I went to save it and the screen on my main screen where the mirror displayed the time, date and more just went blank.
