config

broberg

you were missing a { after config: under the module currentweather

and also one to many , under the module weatherforecast

Corrected code :

		{
			module: "currentweather",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {   
				location: "",
				locationID: "53.9576",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "76b503a29647f3a01dd9ba1055daea6d",
			}
		},
		{
			module: "weatherforecast",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Weather Forecast",
			config: {
				location: "",
				locationID: "53.9576",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "76b503a29647f3a01dd9ba1055daea6d",
			}
		},

@geo said in config:

  {
  	module: "currentweather",
  	position: "top_right",
  	config: 
  		location: "",
  		locationID: "53.9576",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
  		appid: "76b503a29647f3a01dd9ba1055daea6d",
  	}
  },

should be

		{
			module: "currentweather",
			position: "top_right",
			config:  {    // < ---- missing open brace
				location: "",
				locationID: "53.9576",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "76b503a29647f3a01dd9ba1055daea6d",
			}
		},

this

		{
			module: "weatherforecast",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Weather Forecast",
			config: {
				location: "",
				
				,
				locationID: "53.9576",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "76b503a29647f3a01dd9ba1055daea6d",
			}
		}

should be

		{
			module: "weatherforecast",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Weather Forecast",
			config: {
				location: "",
				
				//,   < ---  remove extra comma
				locationID: "53.9576",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "76b503a29647f3a01dd9ba1055daea6d",

		}

sdetweil

@geo needs to be done from inside the MagicMirror folder…

geo

@sdetweil hi after another attempt i find the config is empty all that is available is the sample

sdetweil

@geo i posted the corrected config.js above, cut/paste it back into the ~/MagicMiror/config/config.js file

geo

@geo would it be better to delete and re install

sdetweil

@geo no… just missing the config file…
select the text in my post above, right click mouse, select copy,
then open an editor on the file and right click mouse paste

i use ssh and BitVise ssh client so I can access and edit files thru my windows machine

geo

@sdetweil hi sorry but i am stuck config.js is empty and cant find text editor

sdetweil

@geo nano is a text editor

you can also do

cp config.js.sample config.js

to copy the initial

geo

totally totally out of my depth and do not understand why my config.js is empty and why the text editor is missing.sorry

geo

@sdetweil hi i think i am back on track.you say to cut,is that the same as copy,because when i right click on your config all i see is copy.cheers

sdetweil

@geo cut/paste is the generic term for the operations of marking the source, and transferring it to the destination

copy is the non destructive form of cut

geo

@geo said in config:

this is what i have
