remoteFile in compliments module
-
@strawberry-3.141 how to open the electron console to see those errors? I’m not an expert, sry
-
@schlachtkreuzer6 either start with
npm start devor presscmd+shift+iduring runtimePlease create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track
-
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!

Hi, I just tried on my computer …snippit from my config.js
{ module: 'compliments', position: 'lower_third', config: { remoteFile: 'compliments.json' } },my compliments.json
{ "morning" : [ "heyho" ], "afternoon" : [ "home early?" ], "evening" : [ "finally home" ], "fog" : [ "fog, oh no :(" ] }The compliments.json file is located in ~/MagicMirror/modules/default/compliments
Three things to mention:- Of course you need to use the default “currentweather” module
- You need to run the new updated MagicMirror version. Otherwise compliments and currentweather are not interacting
- There is a delay loading the compliments file. I added some debug output to track that and as you see MagicMirror starts with default values and takes 30 seconds to load and verify your remote file.

@schlachtkreuzer6
you are in your home directory, not in your MagicMirror folder.

Friends,
using version 2.1.0 you must have the remoteFile within the configuration of the compliments.js.
the file should start like this:
defaults: { updateInterval: 30000, remoteFile: 'put your file here', fadeSpeed: 4000 },it is only working with a local file.
in my config/config.js i did not change anything for compliments module.
