Hmm, a lot of modules are putting up a fight for me :-(

[fribse]

Being a newbie I struggle quite a lot with the configuration of the modules.

Latest example is with the yr forecast, I’ve git’ed the module down, and I’ve added this to the config as per the example:

{
                        module: "mmm-weatherchart",
                        position: "bottom-left",
                        config: {
                                country: "Danmark",
                                area: "Sjælland",
                                city: "Greve",
                                updateInterval: 60 * 60 * 1000,
                                hideBorder: true,
                                negativeImage: true,
                        }
                }

But now the MM is not showing anything (not even that the config is wrong.

@fribse a black screen usually means some coding problem as compared to what was entered in the config section of this module in config.js

open the developers window, using keyboard its ctrl-shift-i, or npm start dev if starting mm…

then select the tab at the top labeled ‘console’, and then scroll up to locate any errors, usually red text

see here https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/506/mmm-weatherchart/18

there are two mmm-weatherchart modules… one has an error, the other fixes the error

Hi,

Due to questions in another threat I installed that module myself.
I found out that this repository works (not the paphko version):
git clone https://github.com/szech/mmm-weatherchart.git

Try this:

$ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/
$ mv mmm-weatherchart mmm-weatherchart.saved
$ git clone https://github.com/szech/mmm-weatherchart.git
$ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/mmm-weatherchart
$ npm install

When it works:

$ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/
$ rm -rf mmm-weatherchart.saved

You say yr forecast… perhaps you should look at the module MMM-YrThen.

@sdetweil Sounds like a plan, I’ll look into that when I have some time again, thankyou! (maybe not for this module, but there are quite a few putting up a fight).

[sdetweil]

@fribse np… the black screen is because the ui thread has crashed due to some fatal error…
in this case, the module uses a node library, which isn’t installed… but you didn’t know.

[fribse]

@evroom Great, thankyou for clearing that up, I’ll go and get the other download!

Ok, so I finally got the compliments in danish up and running properly, as well as danish news feeds, danish calendar and current danish weather, I’ll go and have a go with this one now.

I used the YRThen, and it works nicely, I do think it would be nice to have a fade option, like in many of the other modules.
