How can I add more time periods for MMM-compliments?

[sdetweil]

@dæmoneyes openweathermap… I do not know… sorry…

[DæmonEyes]

@sdetweil hey no problem, it seems to be working fine, so I guess I shouldn’t worry about it.

If I may ask one more question, should I do anything about the yellow warning ‘Electron Security Warning’?

[sdetweil]

@dæmoneyes if your mirror was open to the internet, then I would say yes

[DæmonEyes]

@sdetweil Hmm ok, besides weather and quote of the day, I’m not really connecting to the net for anything so I guess that’s fine.
Thanks again for helping me solve this!

@DæmonEyes you only make changes in
MagicMirror/modules/default/compliments/MMM-Compliments.js
and of corse in the
MagicMirror/config/config.js?

Can your Post your changes here in the Forum?
Here is a nice “HowTo” post a code into the Forum for better reading https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4247/how-to-post-code-on-the-forum-for-absolute-beginners

Thank you

@saschasp Actually I only had to make changes in the MMM-compliments.js and not the config.js
I just had to make changes at those 3 places that I showed in the imgur link I had posted and it works great.
sdetweil helped my find the missing comma that was causing the problem with the npm start dev prompt and now it works great.

I now have 5 time periods and 3 compliments for each period. If I think of more compliments, I’ll probably add a 4th compliment for each period.

Is it normal for the default modules to reset to factory settings when updating MM?
Just did the MM update to 2.7.1 and noticed my compliments module has reset to its original compliments and time periods.

[sdetweil]

yes, the default modules are part of the base… and will be reset… altho you should have been warned by git

if u did a git stash, then u can get those changes back

[DæmonEyes]

@sdetweil Oh ok, I just did my first stash now.
So let’s say I had done a stash before I had updated; how would I retrieve it after updating?

(So I know what to do next time)

[sdetweil]

@DæmonEyes git stash pop

i don’t know if you can pop one file at a time

(ps… google is your friend!)
