Thank you

@cowboysdude . . . I am having the same exact issue. It only displays the [updated] line with nothing else.

@richland007 Hi…the module calls autoblog as follows:

http://www.autoblog.com/[zipcode]-gas-prices/

replace [zipcode] with your zip code to see if your zip code is valid.

@3d thank you for the tip did not know that …and of course i would get values, i am in the middle of Dallas and Plano what was i thinking LOL… and i also get values for Costco and Sams that i asked a few posts above…so that’s a good thing cause we always use those 99% of the time as a small business.
Anyhow the issue remains just “Updating…”

@richland007 Excellent. I am having the same issue as well and can’t figure it out yet.

BTW, I lived in Plano as well…actually graduated from Univ Texas Dallas and Baylor Law. Plano is a great place. Glad I could help a bit.

Yes they’ve changed their page so the data it’s asking for is incorrect. I will fix it when I can get some time to do it… Sorry everyone.

@cowboysdude I just sent you a pull request that should fix their new page.

I got it and it’s been merged!! HUGE Thank you for fixing this…time is killing me right now :)

"You can now get fuel data for regular (default), mid-grade, premium, and diesel. I also threw in a way to sort by price or distance (default). I saw you had an items variable in the default config section as well. I assume that was to only show X number of items. I added that to your for loop that iterates through the gas array. "

He not only fixed it but enhanced it to make it 100% even better! Here’s an example config:

          disabled: false,
          module: "MMM-Gas",
          position: "top_left",
          config: {
             zip: "14904",
             items: 10,
             typeGas: "",	//premium, mid-grade, diesel, or blank for regular
             sortBy: "price" 	//distance, price
  		}			   
      },

See the // notes for added features! Thank you again @mochman

Do a git pull to update and update your config accordingly :)

Well done, sir! Well done!

@cowboysdude and @mochman … WOW, nice work!

The only thing I had to fix was put the ITEMS in quotes…the proper syntax for me was:

items: "10",

mochman

@3d Hmm, the code is supposed to use that variable as an integer. What kind of error were you getting when you had items: 10,?

Edit: Guess it doesn’t matter. Math.min() still works using a string.

3d

@mochman It wasn’t loading the config.js. So I just stepped through line by line until if failed. Once if failed I put the 10 in quotations and it loaded.

Ok, so I deleted my current GAS module. and reinstalled it.

I went to the website to check my zip code, which is good.

I tried it with & without the quotes around the 10.

Still not working for me… :slightly_frowning_face:

justjim1220

NVM!!!

When in doubt, Reboot it out!!!

Is there any way to remove the Distance column? I live in a small town and dont really need the distances on the display. I hunted around the files a little bit and didnt see anything that I could maybe edit or delete that would remove it.

@rob73 I haven’t tried this to see how it looks, but you may just be able to comment out a few of the lines in MMM-Gas.js
Try commenting out the last 2 lines of this code in the getDom() function.

 var td5 = document.createElement("td");
 td5.innerHTML = dist;
 TDrow.appendChild(td5);
 weatherTable.appendChild(TDrow);

It should look like this when you’re done.

var td5 = document.createElement("td");
td5.innerHTML = dist;
//TDrow.appendChild(td5);
//weatherTable.appendChild(TDrow);

You should also comment out this part as well.

var bjumpy = document.createElement("th");
bjumpy.setAttribute("style", "text-align:center");
bjumpy.classList.add("xsmall");
bjumpy.innerHTML = "Distance";
//xFCRow.appendChild(bjumpy);
//weatherTable.appendChild(xFCRow);

@mochman … Awesome… I followed your instructions and it worked! Thank you! I would have never figured that out on my own…

Thanks again!

New config option to hide or show distance column.

example config:

{
          disabled: false,
          module: "MMM-Gas",
          position: "top_left",
          config: {
             zip: "14904",
             items: 10,
             typeGas: "",	//premium, mid-grade, diesel, or blank for regular
             sortBy: "price", 	//distance, price
       distance: false //default is true, so using true just don't use distance in your config
  		}			   
      },

DO a git pull in the MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Gas dir to update!

AND a HUGE Thanks to @mochman for all the help!!!

Awesome!

Is this still working?? It was working flawlessly for me before but i turned the MM off for like 3 months when i was doing some work around the house and when i turned it back on i do not see anything on my list of gas stations.

It just says updated at this time and date but nothing listed.
I did a git pull thinking that something might have been updated in those 3 months but nothing changed.

Anyone else experiencing difficulties ???
