    So, I fixed my own problem but created another! For the weather module, I placed the units code and round up code as the first entries in config and it worked! Well, sort of. I do get Fahrenheit and the temperatures are rounded up, except my “feels like” output is 293 degrees!

    Additionally, the time in the current weather field is about 8 hours different than the time in the time module (upper left).

    The code:

    {
    			module: "weather",
    			position: "top_right",
    			config: {
    				units: "Imperial",
    				roundTemp: "True",
    				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
    				type: "current",
    				location: "Gainesville, US",
    				locationID: "", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
    				apiKey: "663f6e5e85dfb8bf8d3293ab7cc8cbd1"
    			}
    		},
    		{
    			module: "weather",
    			position: "top_right",
    			header: "Weather Forecast",
    			config: {
    				units: "Imperial",
    				roundTemp: "True",
    				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
    				type: "forecast",
    				location: "Gainesville, US",
    				locationID: "", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
    				apiKey: "663f6e5e85dfb8bf8d3293ab7cc8cbd1"
    			}

      @cheapdad gotta have that locationID

      many authors provide sample config layouts

      not all, and not the base.

        @cheapdad also like to correct your words. u are not editing any of the core FILES, you are editing the configuration for the core modules.

          @sdetweil On the location ID, the documentation indicates that it is not needed if you have “location” entered. If using just “location” without “location ID” is causing the error, then I’ll make the switch. Interestingly, its only the “feels like” that is off. (I figured out the that time difference is sunrise/sunset.)

          On config layouts, I may just do that. Generally, is there any required order of the config lines?

            no… any order is fine… the modules definitions go inside the

            modules: [ 
            ]
            

            list
            order is fifo (first in, first out)

            by position

            three in the top_left,
            from top of config.js down that is the order they will appear
