      @josh45631 said in Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module:

      showQR: “true”

      This should be showQR: true without the quotes. Not sure if it makes much of a difference.

      The URL I used and which worked for me was:
      http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-Config/config.html?port=8300

      @sdetweil Very cool module.

        @josh45631 I had a typo which I corrected

        http://192.168.2.13:8080/modules/MM-Config/review
        

        notice the module name is MMM-Config

        3 M’s

        the content says the module is running

        if you use your phone on the qr does the page show?

          @mumblebaj don’t use the final url… use the review url as provided in the doc
          as the module discovers a free port for communication between the form and the module.

            There it is. I knew it would come down to something simple! I still can’t get to the form page by scanning the QR code, but I’m ok with that for now because I can access it via browser!

            Thank you so much!

                @sdetweil Which URL in the doc? From the screenshots? The review URL did not work for me. The one I posted above did. The QR code gave me a different URL which did not work for me but guess it is because of my install on my Windows laptop.

                  @sdetweil I found the URL bit in the doc.
                  http://machine_name:MM_Port/modules/MMM-Config/review
                  Did not work for me when I tried it though.

                      @mumblebaj windows should have worked

                      can u tell me what the url was?

                      when u configure mm for address:“0.0.0.0”
                      it’s not something I can connect to

                      so I get the machine hostname

                      I guess I need to figure out an IP address…

                        @sdetweil The QR code gave me machine name. But I figured that could not be correct. When I used the review URL earlier it did not work, When I started my Ubuntu Instance now and tried review with this URL:
                        http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-Config/review
                        it worked fine and resolved to the following:
                        http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-Config/config.html?port=8300
                        which I guess is what you were referring to?

                              @sdetweil I am using my cell phone connected to my wifi network. When I scan the code it sends me to

                              http://raspberrypi:8080/modules/MMM-Config/review
                              

                              When I replace “raspberrypi” with the actual ip of the pi, it works.

                                        @sdetweil I am soooooo new at this. I had it working once by someone else, card got corrupted and the person building it no longer available. So I’m trying to rebuild on my own. Not a coder, programmer or anything else.

                                        I’ve tried the modules, got the calendar and weather in the config.js but it doesn’t run.

                                        So what do you need me to show you?

                                            @louise so, read the link… it will help A LOT…

                                            from a command line, (terminal window) you need to change folders

                                            cd new_folder_name

                                            just like on windows
                                            (except here the names are case sensitive)

                                            when I said in doc

                                            Clone this repo into ~/MagicMirror/modules directory.
                                            

                                            that means change directory (cd command)

                                            cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
                                            

                                            u left off the cd

                                            but the error implies you have not installed MagicMirror yet…
