@Mykle1 It says :
This site can’t be reached api.usno.navy.mil’s server IP address could not be found. from South Africa. I guess that it’s restricted somehow.

If that is the case then there is nothing I can do about that. However, there are times when the image does not load and you have to try again. It doesn’t happen too often. If you care to try again you may have better luck.

That’s very possible…it could be blocked by your ISP OR the Navy could block the traffic to your server.

Try putting this in a browser window and see if you get results from that…

@mumblebaj

That’s the return from my API for the data. The image comes from the USNO API

@Mykle1 now the image is not loading…

Yes, I see. The USNO API is having trouble at the moment. “api.usno.navy.mil refused to connect.”

I will see what i can find out.

in the meantime, you can use the MMM-Lunartic.js file that is inside the ‘temporary fix’ folder in the module folder. This will give you pictures until the api becomes functional again

@Mykle1 ok thanks

mumblebaj

@Mykle1 Thanks. I set it to “animation” and it is working now.

yes because that uses a local .gif file that is included with the module.the alternate module.js file also uses local pix for just such an occasion. either will work. for now, the the usno api is still being a pain in the butt

mumblebaj

@Mykle1 No problem. Thanks for a really nice module.

My pleasure. I’ll keep an eye on the USNO API. It’s still has issues.

@Mykle1 Now it works …

Yes, the USNO API is working again so you can get the most current images of the moon and its phases. So, rename the temporary fix .js file (if you are using it) and use the original MMM-Lunartic.js file again.

@Mykle1 Thanks for helping and your nice modules

I am using the current view of the moon. I have the module working. I just need to remove the line over the moon image and center the text that states “Moon Phase” to line it up in the center over the moon image.

@BD0G

These entries in your custom.css file should help you with that. Adjust the values to your satisfaction

.MMM-Lunartic .xsmall.bright {
  font-size:22px;
}

.MMM-Lunartic img.photo {
/*  display: none;              uncomment if you don't want an image */
  width: 100%;                /* adjust size of moon picture */
  margin-left: 0px;          /* Precisely align moon picture with these */
  margin-right: 0px;
  margin-top: 0px;         /* -41px for current. -21px for animation or static. */
  margin-bottom: -11px;      /* -51px for current. -21px for animation or static. */
}

@Mykle1 Thanks.

I have currently adjusted those settings from within my Lunartic.css file and they do change where the text and moon image are positioned. I cannot find a way to remove the horizontal line over the moon image.

I currently only have a main.css file, but I am assuming I can just create a blank custom.css file and place it in the MagicMirror/css directory and that will work?

Can you post a pic of the “horizontal line over the moon image?” I assume you’re not talking about the text.

You should already have a custom.css file in your css folder. Any modifications to css should be done within that file. It is not recommended that you make any changes to the main.css file.
