[BKeyport]

@sdetweil review link as shown redirects to:

http://raspberrypi:8080/modules/MMM-Config/config.html?port=8301

which fails because it’s not in DNS - changing raspberrypi to my IP address results in same header as before. Did update newform, and restarted MM.

@bkeyport i have cors allow all …

[sdetweil]

@bkeyport I asked the machine for its IP address /name…

most routers now -a-days register the DHCP requests to names…

[BKeyport]

Yeah, my router setup is stupid in my testing area. :)

[sdetweil]

@bkeyport and npm install after checkout newform?

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil Yeah, that did it… Forgot to npm install. D’oh!

[sdetweil]

@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 said in Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module:

Yeah, that did it…

does that mean you system is working now?

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil Yeah. playing with it now making sure it works with my module and modules I’ve taken up support for.

[sdetweil]

@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…
