remoteFile in compliments module
-
@bhepler HOW???
@schlachtkreuzer6 said in Compliments - remoteFile - How to?!:
Hey guys, i need some help with the remoteFile for the compliments. I tried this:
module: 'compliments', position: 'lower_third', config: { updateInterval: 15000, compliments: { remoteFile: '~/MagicMirror/modules/default/compliments/remote_compliments.json', morning: [ 'Guten Morgen!', 'Wie hast du geschlafen?', 'Ich wünsche dir einen schönen Tag!' ], ...but it´s not working.
Content of remote_compliments.json:
{ "morning" : [ "Du siehst aber gut aus heute !", "Gut geschlafen ?", "Moin, Moin...." ], "afternoon" : [ "Ab Fussball spielen !", "Lass uns auf den Abend vorbereiten....", "Musik hören ?" ], "evening" : [ "Einen Cocktail ?", "Wow, Du bist aber heiss heute...", "Wollen wir heute abend weggehen ?" ] } -
@schlachtkreuzer6 your json file looks good to me, but i would try to change your config
{ module: 'compliments', position: 'lower_third', config: { updateInterval: 15000, remoteFile: 'remote_compliments.json' } }- the remoteFile has to be in the config object and not nested in the compliments object
- it makes no sense to have another compliments in the config, because those will be completely overwritten by using a remoteFile
- after a look in the code, it uses
this.file(this.config.remoteFile)which will generate the correct path, so if you place the remotefile in the compliments directory you should only have to put the name with the extension in there.

@strawberry-3.141 thanks for your advice, i tried it but nope ^^
If i only use the remote file, MM stuck loading the other modules down blow. so first, alert, cock, clalendar, compliments but the modules later on are not showing up.{ "module": "compliments", "position": "lower_third", "config": { "compliments": { "remoteFile": "remote_compliments.json", "morning": [ "Guten Morgen!", "Wie hast du geschlafen?", "Ich wünsche dir einen schönen Tag!" ], "afternoon": [ "Guten Tag!", "Du schaust gut aus!", "Wie war dein Tag!" ], "evening": [ "Guten Abend!", "Na wie war dein Tag?", "Du warst heute fleßig!" ] }, "updateInterval": 15000 } }remote_compliments.json
"morning": [ "Test1!", "Test2?", "Test3!" ], "afternoon": [ "Test4!", "Test5!", "Test6!" ], "evening": [ "Test7!", "Test8?", "Test9!" ] -

Hi there, just want to add that I am also unable to get the remoteFile to work. I have it configured as specified above using the currentweather items, but my mirror still shows the default phrases.
-
@jcorraliza can you show your config for compliments module and the path where you placed the file?
-
@strawberry-3.141 Sure, I placed the compliments.json file in ~/MagicMirror/modules/default/compliments directory.
My config.js is as follows:
{ module: 'compliments', position: 'lower_third', config: { remoteFile: 'compliments.json' } },My compliments.json file is set up with currentweather arrays:
{ "day_sunny" : [ "The sun is shining today!", "It\'s such a beautiful day", "It\'s gorgeous outside, go play!" ], "day_cloudy" : [ "It\'s cloudy out there, but no meatballs", "It may be cloudy, but it\'s still nice out!", "The sun is hiding right now" ], "cloudy" : [ "Good morning, sunshine!", "Who needs coffee when you have your smile?", "Go get 'em, Tiger!" ], "cloudy_windy" : [ "Good morning, sunshine!", "Who needs coffee when you have your smile?", "Go get 'em, Tiger!" ], "showers" : [ "Good morning, sunshine!", "Who needs coffee when you have your smile?", "Go get 'em, Tiger!" ], "rain" : [ "Take your umbrella with you.", "It's wet out there, drive safe!", "It's rainy outside, but you brighten my day." ], "thunderstorm" : [ "Good morning, sunshine!", "Who needs coffee when you have your smile?", "Go get 'em, Tiger!" ], "fog" : [ "Good morning, sunshine!", "Who needs coffee when you have your smile?", "Go get 'em, Tiger!" ], "night_clear" : [ "You made someone smile today, I know it.", "You are making a difference.", "The day was better for your efforts." ], "night_cloudy" : [ "Good morning, sunshine!", "Who needs coffee when you have your smile?", "Go get 'em, Tiger!" ], "night_showers" : [ "Good morning, sunshine!", "Who needs coffee when you have your smile?", "Go get 'em, Tiger!" ], "night_rain" : [ "Good morning, sunshine!", "Who needs coffee when you have your smile?", "Go get 'em, Tiger!" ], "night_thunderstorm" : [ "It\'s a stormy night, don\'t be scared", "Thunderstorms tonight, Oliver\'s covering his ears" ], "night_alt_cloudy_windy" : [ "Good morning, sunshine!", "Who needs coffee when you have your smile?", "Go get 'em, Tiger!" ] }I started filling in custom messages, then decided to copy/paste them all just in case it didn’t work. See anything I’m doing wrong? Thanks!
