Remote File Compliments not working and MM hangs

[askmahesh]

I added the following to the modules section in config.js for remoteFile compliments, but it does not seem to work.

I looked at the forum and users have mentioned to place the compliments.json in modules folder. I thought we should not change or place anything in the modules/default folder as it might be overwritten on upgrade.

                    module: "compliments",
                    position: "bottom_bar",
                    config: {
                     remoteFile: "~/MagicMirror/config/compliments.json"
                    }
                 

This is my compliments.json

{
    "anytime" : [
        "Stay Safe"
    ],
    "morning" : [
        "Good morning"
    ],
    "afternoon" : [
       "Good afternoon"
    ],
    "evening" : [
        "Good evening"
    ]
}

@askmahesh the embedded server will not see any files below the modules folder, they they need to go into a module folder.

don’t change anything, but u can add to the folder
