@sdetweil
Thankyou for your quick response!
I still spent days/so many hours trying to get it to work lol
I couldn’t get it no matter how hard I tried and didn’t know why.
Because of your response/ the link you commented, I was eventually able to have a memo be displayed…
What helped me notice my progress was adding

MemoDisplayIfEmpty= true

to the config.js
I am, however, still unsure of how to remove the entire memo, itself, though.

What do I enter into the browser?
Also, is there a simpler way to display the memo’s or do I have to type out

http://Pi's_IP:port/addMemo?memoTitle=__&item=__

everytime I want a memo?
Is there a way to type a memo out like an email (the subject= memoTitle and the body= item)?
Like, how MMM-Remote-Control now allows you to send an alert?
I’d really like this if it were a little more convenient.
This is such a cool module, and can’t wait to incorporate voice control (that will make adding the memo’s super easily/ is more of what I’m looking for.)
Thanks again, and I hope Im not annoying you too much with my noobness lol.

@FruityBebbles I’m not the author, just another user trying to help…

the code in node_helper.js
defines how the module responds…

and it says for add

	this.expressApp.get('/AddMemo', (req, res) => {
	var query = url.parse(req.url, true).query;
	var level = query.level;
	var memoTitle = query.memoTitle;
	var item = query.item;

http://Pi’s_IP:port/addMemo?memoTitle=&item=&level=

and for remove

	this.expressApp.get('/RemoveMemo', (req, res) => {

	var query = url.parse(req.url, true).query;
	var memoTitle = query.memoTitle;
	var item = query.item;

http://Pi’s_IP:port/RemoveMemo?memoTitle=&item=

that is the only way this module responds

so to remove, u need the exact text of the ‘item’ when u added it.
u can use curl or http request , you don’t have to use a browser… I was just offering an easy way to test it out

@FruityBebbles no problem, glad I can help… you don’t need to be a coder… but some of this stuff is very rigid in its requirements…
