    @darkeagl105 I like this idea, it would be great if it served it’s own page so you could access it from another device like your phone to set up the MM2.

      That is what I was thinking of.
      For it a default module that always shows the IP you need to connect to.
      But one thing after the other.

        On short term, I won’t be working on a preference section. This is because a lot of modules have an extremely complicated config setup, which would require a massive UI. (For example: an array containing objects containing various types). The amount of work that would go into this, would be unrealistic. I’d rather improve and extend the frontend possibilities.

        I do want to work on improving the feedback when the config file is incorrect, though.

        Also, I think learning a bit of JSON could never hurt anyone. And with MagicMirror I don’t aim on the absolute beginners. It’s a project for people to learn along the way. One of the things to learn is some basic javascript.

          I’d agree that the perefence/configuration page could get quite complicated, but if we design it in the modular extensible way so that module developers could modify and configure it by themselves specifically for their module requirements it might not take a lot of time…

            I think the “preference page” could be a module itself. So knock yourself out. As soon as it’s fully functional I can include it in the main repository. :)

              I am thinking that it should be a real web page accessible from the web browser.

                @alexyak … which can still be a module.

                A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

                  @alexyak yeah, no problem. The MagicMirror has a built in webserver which can be used by the modules.
