        @bkeyport I construct the review url like this

              // thi is the name in the preferences pi
              this.hostname = os.hostname();
        
              this.config.url =
                "http://" +
                (this.config.address == "0.0.0.0"
                  ? this.hostname
                  : this.config.address) +
                ":" +
                this.config.port;
        

        so, lacking the dns entry, I would configure to use one of the specific ip addresses

              @bkeyport cool… there are SO many variations… and guesses to make…

              the upcoming multi-module version, will add on a new capability…

              generate a new file that can be used to REALLY describe the parms, and take away any abiguity on my part.

              I generate it ANYHOW to make the form work… so, its a nit to save it… I’m working thru USING the file, instead of recreating every time…

              and then the author can tune it, to make selection lists, instead of text fields, etc…
              optional sets of fields, depending on selection

              the author packages that file with the module and voila, if its there my module uses it…

                @sdetweil OK, it seems to be horribly broken on my side. From save to save, it’s not keeping the modules in config.js - example, my MMM-Multimonth won’t stay configured.

                I can’t disable default modules. (Calendar, which I don’t use due to incompatibility with my agenda provider)

                You want the config files to look though and see what’s happening?

                    I have updated the module now to support multiple instances of the same module,
                    a little config (adding name to a file) … altho the module will auto detect if multiples are being used NOW, regardless of the file

                    ALSO, one lacking feature of this solution is being able to get the form exactly right… as the info is missing in the module data…

                    BUT i am creating the form info ANYHOW, so it can be saved and manually edited to improve the module experience, and I will use THAT instead of constructing the info every time…

                    this means u can add selection lists, and other features (very easily)
                    see the two issues for instructions

                    and save and use schema file
