MMM-Random Fact

[lavolp3]

@lavolp3 module works after a complete reboot. Sorry for the bothering :-)

[Ramez]

@lavolp3 glad it’s working…could you try to change it’s language and see if it still works?

[lavolp3]

@ramez to be honest, it doesn’t work again. Can’t really find the reason for that.
My confige entry:

    {
        disabled: false,
        module: 'MMM-rfacts',
        position: 'top_right',
        config: {
            lang: "de",  //facts will be translated to this language according to ISO-639$
            updateInterval: 10 * 60 * 1000, // every 10 minutes
            animationSpeed: 10,
            initialLoadDelay: 875, // 0 seconds delay
            retryDelay: 1500,
            fadeSpeed: 7
        }
    },

IN the pm2 logs I only get this

0|mm       | (node:10423) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 53): Error

Do a git pull…should be fixed now :) Check the config below…
Actually this is THE only thing you need in your config.js file …

```
 {
    disabled: false,
    module: 'MMM-rfacts',
    position: 'top_right', 
  },

@cowboysdude sorry, but still same error

[cowboysdude]

@ramez Not really sure as I cannot duplicate your error and no one else seems to be having the issue.

I just downloaded the most recent version and fired it up.

[lavolp3]

Well for me this module does not work as well (only showing “Eine Tatsache bekommen” in German) and I have again Unhandled Rejection Warnings, which are not errors however… but I have the feeling they are related to the problem.

(node:25288) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error
0|mm       | (node:25288) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.
0|mm       | (node:25288) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 2): Error

I only get these when I activate this module

I’m not seeing that at all and I have plenty of modules loading along with it. Have you tried running this module by itself?

[joela85]

Is there a config option to show/hide the “Random Fact” title if you just want the fact?
Alternatively, would positioning and colour customisation of the title be done in CSS?

[Mykle1]

@joela85

Both can be achieved in custom.css file

.MMM-rfacts .title {
    display:none;
    (or positioning and colour customisation)
}

.MMM-rfacts .description  {
    (positioning and colour customisation code here)
}

[joela85]

Great, thank you. I will take a look at that when I have a little bit of spare time.

[Ramez]

@mykle1 yep, it does work ONLY when set to english but other languages has a problem as stated here due to error in promise.all() function Here …please try to change your language to any other to confirm the error and let us know.

@lavolp3 it’s the same error of mine.

[Mykle1]

@ramez

Ahh ok. I’m sure the author will address the issue when he has time.

[cowboysdude]

Is fixed…git pull…enjoy your weekend. Thanks @Mykle1

[dirkie]

I’m getting the same issues.
entry in config:
{
disabled: false,
module: ‘MMM-rfacts’,
position: ‘bottom_bar’
},
but it only shows “Ein Tatsache bekommen…”. I did “git pull” today and I am up to date.

Any hint?

[cowboysdude]

@dirkie Yes…the api is strange… if you hit it too many times they will lock you out for a couple days…

Give it time and it should work again.

[lavolp3]

I am still having an Unhandled promise rejection:

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 13): TypeError: Cannot read property 'refs' of undefined

My config is completely stripped down now as the new Readme suggests. No config entries.
Loading message is in German which is my language.
However translation still does not seem to work here.

Any suggestions?

[cowboysdude]

I will look at it again tonight they may have changed the api… stay tuned.

[cowboysdude]

I just tested mine and it’s working fine… I reuploaded mine to make sure there are no errors in the one on Github…

Also here is my config:

      {
        disabled: f,
        module: 'MMM-rfacts',
        position: 'top_left', 
       },

The language selection is taken directly from your language selected in the config file… I switched mine to ‘de’ and it worked fine. So what I would do if I were you is to delete it all and do the git clone thing and then run npm install in the MMM-rfacts dir …
