MMM Compliments

[Kollen]

Hello everybody,
my MagicMirror is running very well and now I wanted to adjust the compliments a bit.
I made compliments for different times of the day, but the times I have chosen are ignored. Where do I have to copy this that it works “right”?

             {
                        module: "compliments",
                        position: "lower_third",
                        config: {
                                   updateInterval: "90000",
                                   morningStartTime: "3",
                                   morningEndTime: "12",
                                   afternoonStartTime: "16",
                                   afternoonEndTime: "20",
                                   eveningStartTime: "20",
                                   eveningEndTime: "23",
                                   compliments: {
                                   anytime: [
                                   "Hey there sexy!",
                                   "Beauty!",
                                   "20.09.2019 what a Day!",
                                   "On a scale from 1 to 10, you're an 15!",
                                   "You`re like sunshine on a rainy day",
                                   "You`re wonderful",
                                   "You, me -home!",
                                   "8000 Watt -immer großes Blatt!",
                                   "I could just hang here all day!",
                                   "Let me high five you \nIN THE FACE!",
                                   "Lorem ipsum"
                                   ],
                                   morning: [
                                   "Good morning, handsome!",
                                   "Enjoy your day!",
                                   "How was your sleep?",
                                "Start your day!",
                                   "Gude!",
                                   "Start your day with a \nsmile!",
                                   "Jetzt erstmal Kaffee!"  
                                   ],
                                   afternoon: [
                                   "Hello, beauty!",
                                   "You look sexy!",
                                   "Looking good today!",

                                   "For every kiss you give me \nI will give you three!" 
                                   ],
                                   evening: [
                                   "Wow, you look hot!",
                                   "You look nice!",
                                   "Hi, sexy!",

You don’t use the " marks around the numbers.

so :

updateInterval: 90000,
morningStartTime: 3,
morningEndTime: 12,
afternoonStartTime: 16,
afternoonEndTime: 20,
eveningStartTime: 20,
eveningEndTime: 23,

@broberg OMG I will try ASAP that it was so easy I would not have thought! Thank you for the quick help!

[Kollen]

hmm i just changed it from " " to , after the numbers, after a reboot i got a message for afternoon, so it showed no changes.
Do I have to change anything?

[sdetweil]

@Kollen the code says

if current hour is between morning start/end, then use from morning list
else if current hour is between afternoon start/end then use afternoon list,
else use evening list if present

the default times are

                morningStartTime: 3,
		morningEndTime: 12,
		afternoonStartTime: 12,
		afternoonEndTime: 17

	if (hour >= this.config.morningStartTime && hour < this.config.morningEndTime && this.config.compliments.hasOwnProperty("morning")) {
			compliments = this.config.compliments.morning.slice(0);
		} else if (hour >= this.config.afternoonStartTime && hour < this.config.afternoonEndTime && this.config.compliments.hasOwnProperty("afternoon")) {
			compliments = this.config.compliments.afternoon.slice(0);
		} else if(this.config.compliments.hasOwnProperty("evening")) {
			compliments = this.config.compliments.evening.slice(0);
		}

it then adds the current weathertype
it then adds the anytime list
then takes a random selection of all those

what time was it when u tested?

[broberg]

Looking at the code you only have morning start and end, and afternoon start and end.

so eveningStartTime & eveningEndTime does nothing.

So basically the time between afternoonEndTime and morningStartTime is considered evening.
Anything put in anytime-compliments will be shown regardless of time.

So if you really want to test it then remove the compliments from anytime and just run 2 morning, 2 afternoon and 2 evening compliments (alter the times you see it change)
