@Mykle1 and @Sean
Thank you very much for your replies!
Much appreciated, I will jump straight to it and test it out.

Sorry for my late reply, been much work this week.

Hi again!

I managed to get the module installed and configured before their bedtime today, today they were in their beds even a couple of minutes before bedtime ;-) ;-)
So I can confirm the module is working, haha.

Thanks for your time and help with this @Sean, the extra features you added was spot on!

Thanks to both of you for your contributions. I am aslo using two of your modules @Mykle1 (Earth and Lunartic).

Ahh, in that case, I thank you twice! :thumbsup:

@mykle1 I just added this module as it looks good for something I would like to do.
However, nothing happens. MM starts up OK, but the module doesn’t show.

		{
        disabled: false,
        module: 'MMM-EventHorizon',
        position: 'bottom_right',
	config: {
            size: "large", // small, medium or large
	    countUp: "yes", // Yes or no (when timer ends)
            date: "2018-12-03", // (YYYY-MM-DD)  Date timer will end
            time: "00:00:01", // (HH:MM:SS)    Exact time you want timer to end
	    text1: "Open the damn pool", // 1st line of text during timer. About 18 characters total.
            text2: "Winter sucked ass", // 2nd line of text during timer. About 18 characters total.
            endText1: "It's gonna be fun", // 1st line of text when timer ends. About 18 characters total.
            endText2: "Where's my bikini", // 2nd line of text when timer ends. About 18 characters total.
    }
},

GitHub shows - disabled: f,
Here it shows - disabled: false,

Is that an issue?

Thanks.

true/false is a predefined javascript type. ‘false’ (without quotation marks) is right.

I just checked the repo. I inserted vars for true and false in my config so I don’t have to type the entire word. A little trick my guru taught me. However, I don’t find that in the config example there.

{
        disabled: false,
        module: 'MMM-EventHorizon',
        position: 'bottom_center',
	    config: {
            size: "large",                       // small, medium or large
	    countUp: "yes",                      // Yes or no (when timer ends)
            date: "2018-07-04",                  // (YYYY-MM-DD)  Date timer will end
            time: "00:00:01",                    // (HH:MM:SS)    Exact time you want timer to end
	    text1: "Open the damn pool",         // 1st line of text during timer. About 18 characters total.
            text2: "Winter sucked ass",          // 2nd line of text during timer. About 18 characters total.
            endText1: "It's gonna be fun",          // 1st line of text when timer ends. About 18 characters total.
            endText2: "Where's my bikini",          // 2nd line of text when timer ends. About 18 characters total.
    }
},

OK, got it working now.

Had to fudge the time to make it work for GMT.
How do you change the time zone properly?

Because this is an iframe/module that is not very easy to do. However, I can tell you how to fix yours. I’ll make it easy.

In your MMM-EventHorizon.js file, lines 38, 41, 44, 50, 52 and 54 (see picture) at the end of each line, between the last 2 “/” is the value n179. See it in the picture? For GMT you would change that to n136. Change only that in each line. Save.

Changed n179 to n136, as shown.
Stopped and restarted MM.
Did not change time in config.js, and expected results to now be incorrect, but there’s no change.
The module still shows the correct time for my countdown.

Ok, give me some time. I’m in the middle of trying to fix another module at the same time. In the meantime, continue to use it with your “fudging” if you like. Sorry about the inconvenience.
