    @dinschal so, 3 problems (all issued opened on the module github page

    1. timeFormat was changed to a string, easy, done
      https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config/issues/27
    2. changed parm for clock was not saved… in progress,
      https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config/issues/29
    3. weather lost parms on save. fixed I think. this takes a special schema file to expose the providers parameters. (this schema file is to make the UI correct, above what I can do to discover the variables)
      https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config/issues/28

    I save the generated on (little script provided to do that, upgraded cause of this problem to allow just ONE modules info to be saved) and then customize it to the module…
    I can ship some (I will for this) , but if the module author ships that is good too (won’t happen for base)

      okay i have to admit that i had to google for a moment to understand what you mean
      :D i think i got it … it would be better from the start if the developer would pack all optional options in the config so that your module loads them !? for my university project i will leave it out for now and configure it as standard. for the future i will use your tool again ;)

        no… then config is a large mess… the design for config is JUST the changes you NEED, all the rest are defined already…

        i want to keep that model. i just had a bug in my code… if the option wasn’t in config, then i don’t copy it from the form… oops… now I need to check if some option changed from the form data 1st… so I don’t copy all of the parms, just the needed one to match

        BUT the form exposes the parms for every module… most users (and me!) are poor at reading the doc, BEFORE they use things… and get in trouble … the form is intended to help with that too …

            So I’m experiencing a new issue where when I use the editor and trhen press save its not actually saving the new co’ve reinstallked the module and even chmod the folder to 777

            Is this an issue others are experiencing?

            I have the config for it on the defualt settings and the somefile.txt reports that everything is find and it opened successfully on port 8301 ( this seems to change actually) I’m thinking that the port is changing while I’m editing?

              @alyx no. the code looks for a free port, and then starts the socket connection there.

              send my the debug output from
              debug;true
              and npm start >somefile.txt
              via email

                  @alyx under the submit button two messages are written

                  Your Configuration has been submitted
                  and
                  config.js created successfully

                      @alyx debug is set in config.js for my module

                      the somefile is the debug output from save
                      also send the config.js and the defaulys.js from my module folder.

                      the .js files will have to be renamed to .txt
                      as .js files cannot be sent as attachments

                      my email is my same userid at gmail

                      lack of the second message means some content formatting issue
