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

[sdetweil]

@dinschal what do u mean css section?

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil first off all good morning ;)

a section where you can edit the css sections of the modules… like the size or something else…

[sdetweil]

@dinschal did u set the position in the positions section?

can u add debug:true to my module config

copy back the prior config.js

start mm like this

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somefile.txt

then do the change again
press save

then stop mm (ctrl-q)
and send me the somefile.txt
and the two config file, prior and new
and the defaults.js from the module folder
via email. my email is this same userid at gmail

u will have to rename the .js files to
like .txt as js files are not allowed

[sdetweil]

@dinschal ah, I think that would be very difficult.

unless it was a text box w the same thing u would put in custom.css

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil one thing on position.

I write them out in the same order by
position:

all the top_left together, then the top_right, etc
using the module position order value, u can adjust the order of a module in a position list
( I add order: to the module info, so I can continue to keep them that way)

as mm shows them that way

they may NOT be in the same location( line number) in the new file

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil you got mail ;)

[sdetweil]

@dinschal I replied

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil yeah i have to search the right one :D

Hi Sam,

I installed this just there on a fresh image and MM install. All good except my web-view is blank. Well the title comes up with the light brown background but there’s no content beyond that.

Do I need to begin installing other modules in tandem with this?

[sdetweil]

@alyx no… should work as is for the defaults…

let me look

[Alyx]

@sdetweil Sure what file/ image do you want to see?

[sdetweil]

@alyx hang on… let me test here… I am working on other fixes…

[Alyx]

@sdetweil no worries cheers buddy lemme know if you need anything

[sdetweil]

@alyx did you do the npm install in the module folder?? I need libs installed

http://mmip:mmport/modules/MMM-Config/review

I got

[Alyx]

@sdetweil Yep I did it within the MMM-Config directory, did it again there with no luck. Got some audit issues for npm but nothing big

[Alyx]

@alyx actually i had a harder look, does this seem important?

[sdetweil]

@alyx ok, add debug:true

to my module def in config.js

(stop any pm2 version running, pm2 stop all)

then start MM like this
npm start >somefile.txt

there are all kinds of interesting problems with other modules, but none on the base that I know of.

send me the somefile.txt and the defaults. js from the MMM-Config folder… it is constructed from the modules installed

same userid as here at gmail

[sdetweil]

@alyx no… all useless messages we cannot do anything about

wait… is this windows?

[sdetweil]

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

sudo npm install

NEVER EVER use sudo on any MM command…

delete my module folder and git clone and then npm install

[Alyx]

@sdetweil So I did as you said and the npm run is stuck loading for a while and the text file is empty.

Now I’m running in server mode if that matters? I used npm run server >somefile.txt
