weather module just shows loading?

Are your single quotes ’ just an accident in your examples?

{
			module: "currentweather",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "my header",
			config: {
				location: "my village",
//				locationID: "numbers",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "wholelottanumbers",
				appendLocationNameToHeader: false,
				degreeLabel: true,
				useBeaufort: false,
				useKMPHwind: true,
				showHumidity: true
			}
		},

Hope this helps.

@scumbelly single or double doesn’t matter as long as they are the same

please use code markers around config info.
there is a third kinds of quote mark used by the forum without code blocks. they are word processing type, they are curved, both single and double. they are bad.

" and ’
notice the difference

" and '

O.K.

and… onlyTemp: ‘true’, would not have any quotes.

@scumbelly right…

general config.js rules

thing to the left of colon (:) does not need quotes

if the thing to the right of colon is a number or true/false,
should NOT have quotes,
otherwise the thing to the right needs quotes.
single or double doesn’t matter, as long as both ends are the same

Thanks, I always thought I needed double quotes.

Ok, I found out what was wrong, despite the confusion with the ’ or " use.
It’s the appid, it’s called apiKey in the weather module.
So after changing that (and also changing all ’ to " in the config), removing quotes around numbers, only have the locationID instead of both location and locationID and other cleanup stuff, it is shows properly :-)

So I replaced both my currentweather and YrThen modules with two weather modules:

{
      module: "weather",
      position: "top_right",
      classes: "day_schedule",
      config: {
        weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
        type: "current",
        units: "metric",
        timeFormat: 24,
        decimalSymbol: ",",
        initialLoadDelay: 0,
        onlyTemp: false,
        locationID: 2621215,
        apiKey: "xxx"
      }
    },
    {
      module: "weather",
      position: "top_right",
      classes: "day_schedule",
      config: {
        weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
        type: "forecast",
        units: "metric",
        timeFormat: 24,
        decimalSymbol: ",",
        initialLoadDelay: 0,
        onlyTemp: true,
		maxNumberOfDays: 7,
		colored: true,
		appendLocationNameToHeader: false,
        locationID: 2621215,
        apiKey: "xxx"
      }
    },

Looks very nice indeed
