      Being a newbie I struggle quite a lot with the configuration of the modules.

      Latest example is with the yr forecast, I’ve git’ed the module down, and I’ve added this to the config as per the example:

      {
                              module: "mmm-weatherchart",
                              position: "bottom-left",
                              config: {
                                      country: "Danmark",
                                      area: "Sjælland",
                                      city: "Greve",
                                      updateInterval: 60 * 60 * 1000,
                                      hideBorder: true,
                                      negativeImage: true,
                              }
                      }
      

      But now the MM is not showing anything (not even that the config is wrong.

        @fribse a black screen usually means some coding problem as compared to what was entered in the config section of this module in config.js

        open the developers window, using keyboard its ctrl-shift-i, or npm start dev if starting mm…

        then select the tab at the top labeled ‘console’, and then scroll up to locate any errors, usually red text

            Hi,

            Due to questions in another threat I installed that module myself.
            I found out that this repository works (not the paphko version):
            git clone https://github.com/szech/mmm-weatherchart.git

            Try this:

            $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/
            $ mv mmm-weatherchart mmm-weatherchart.saved
            $ git clone https://github.com/szech/mmm-weatherchart.git
            $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/mmm-weatherchart
            $ npm install
            

            When it works:

            $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/
            $ rm -rf mmm-weatherchart.saved
            

            MagicMirror version: 2.30.0
            Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5 (8 GB RAM)
            Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

            Test environment:
            MagicMirror version: v2.30.0
            Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3 (1 GB RAM)
            Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

              You say yr forecast… perhaps you should look at the module MMM-YrThen.

                @sdetweil Sounds like a plan, I’ll look into that when I have some time again, thankyou! (maybe not for this module, but there are quite a few putting up a fight).

                  @fribse np… the black screen is because the ui thread has crashed due to some fatal error…
                  in this case, the module uses a node library, which isn’t installed… but you didn’t know.

                      Ok, so I finally got the compliments in danish up and running properly, as well as danish news feeds, danish calendar and current danish weather, I’ll go and have a go with this one now.

                        I used the YRThen, and it works nicely, I do think it would be nice to have a fade option, like in many of the other modules.
