@Bromley47 what is your position: setting… if its wrong, MM won’t show the data

@Bromley47 @bibaldo Same problem here. My config:

                {
                        disabled: false,
                        module: "MMM-CountUp",
                        position: "bottom_left",
                        config: {
                                header: "Days Working From Home",
                                date: '2020-03-17',
                                time: '00:00:00',
                        },
                 },

@sonicgoose My apologies for multiple postings - just didn’t know which category would be best!
I have got the module to show on the Mirror (thanks to TimerWolf) I positioned in the top bar and it shows OK, but although I set the date to 2020-03-16 it seems not to count from that date (33 days?) and shows 2 days on the Mirror. Also would like to just count days and maybe hours, not interested in minutes or seconds!!

yah pick one… I’ll delete the other two

you could ask one of us moderators to move it if you don’t get the kind of response you think you need…
(there are no commitments that anyone will reply on this forum)

@Bromley47 How did you get it to show up? I don’t see a solution here and the other posts appear to now be gone.

sdetweil

@sonicgoose neither of those two topics had any technical content

he said here

I don’t know who that is

@sonicgoose If you go to github and search for the MMM-CountUP module there you will see my config file and some helpful suggestions. Although still cannot solve start time (33 days ago) and remove mins and secs. Need someone more expert than me…!

@sonicgoose @Bromley47’s problem was he put the config on the wrong module definition in config.js

I haven’t played with this module yet. Does it require a specific date format? “2020-04-01” can be written as “2020-01-04” depending on which country you’re using as a default format.

It has been my experience that Javascript is absolutely rubbish with dates.

Bromley47

@bhepler The read me for this module shows the date format as YYYY-MM-DD so I entered 2020-03-16 because I wanted it to run from 16th March 2020 which up until today is 33 days, but it only shows 2 days on the Mirror?
