Module Update Interval question

RGN01

I have MMM-eswordoftheday installed but have a problem in that it doesn’t automatically update.

It updates if I restart the MM but not automatically once a day or more frequently.

What drives the automated updates?

The pertinent part of config.js is:

    {
      module: 'MMM-eswordoftheday',
      position: 'top_left',
      header: '',
      config: {
        updateInterval: 21600000
      }

I have reduced the update frequency down from 86400000 to 21600000 (what I think is 6 hours) in an effort to sort this, but to no avail!

Any tips to debug this would be very welcome.

Thanks.

@rgn01 it only updates once after startup… then never again

edit the .js file and change line 17 from

    setTimeout(function() {

to

    setInterval(function() {

for grins, and easy testing,
change updateInterval to 60000 (60 seconds)

Thanks @sdetweil - I missed your reply until this morning so apologies for not reporting back earlier.

I have now made the change, to 3 hours, and will watch it. As the source only changes once a day that felt like a sensible compromise to ensure it updates but not too often!

I’ll confirm in the next few days whether this has worked!

Thanks again!

I can confirm that this is now solved. Thank you, @sdetweil !
