Basic configuration issues with compliments & calendar modules

mh77

Hi all,

Some very simple things don’t work, I’m guessing it’s me so thanks for your patience :) I’ve successfully installed MagicMirror and have been able to configure it to show my Google Calendar, as well as weather for my region. So far, so good.

However, I could only get the compliments module to disappear by removing it from the config.js file. Adding disabled: true in the following manner (like it says here) does not seem to have any effect:

                {
                        module: 'compliments',
                        position: 'lower_third',
                        disabled: 'true',
                        config: {
                                }
                },

Then, when I configure the calendar, the maximumEntries seems to be respected but preventing fading or hiding the symbol before each entry does not work with this configuration:

                {
                        module: 'calendar',
                        position: 'top_left',
                        header: 'Agenda',
                        config: {
                                maximumEntries: '5',
                                displaySymbol: 'false',
                                fade: 'false',
                                calendars: [
                                        {
                                                url: 'https://URL.ics'
                                        }
                                ]
                        }
                },

I hope anyone knows if I’m doing something wrong, and what?

@mh77 you have to type booleans without quotes

disabled: true , fade: false and displaySymbol: false

Ah of course, that’s it. Thanks so much!

I hadn’t thought of it, because when I used ‘onlyTemp’ in my currentweather module config, it worked when I entered ‘true’. But it also only shows the temperature when I enter ‘false’ there, so it somehow defaults to true if you enter it with any value between single quotes.

Anyhow, thanks again!

@mh77 a string in javascript is handled as true, so 'false' => true
