Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module

@sdetweil

first of all… my english is very bad :D

today my goal is that your module is working… i have configure it cause i have the mm with localhost and use bitvise for ssh.

So i have to change the localhost in my config :D

I tired to read the error message but its to tiny :D the only thing i can read is localhost :D

@dinschal said in Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module:

what error message?

u mean the module output when address:“localhost” is set??

localhost means ONLY apps running inside the SAME system can access

so a phone (use the qr code) , or another computer (use the url) cannot…

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil yeah this one ;) i want to change it cause the mirror is a gift for my parents and if i had to change something i only have my phone.

I changed it to 0.0.0.0 so i get the qr but know my device is not allowed to access my mirror :D

[sdetweil]

@dinschal also have to edit the ipWhitelist.

I set it to []

ipWhitelist:[],

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil i did it let me check ;)

okay i got it… but now i only have the "configuration window without the possibility to configure,

i tryed it with a new pull and an new installation of your module :(

[Alyx]

amazing work!!! are users able to make module communicate with each other? Such as using voice commands to use another module via notifications?

[sdetweil]

@alyx I don’t understand your question

[sdetweil]

@dinschal is this from the qr?

or did u enter a url?

note the url is

http://mmipaddr:mmport/modules/MMM-Config/review

[sdetweil]

@alyx voiceCommander is built on top of MMM-Voice and Hello-Lucy

so, CAN you, certainly… take a voice audio -> recognizer -> send notification to other modules…

HOW depends on the module being used…

sometimes there is some config
sometimes there is file editing
sometimes there is coding

[Alyx]

@sdetweil No worries I’ll install and play around with this tomorrow, I was wondering if it would help with setting up modules to talk to each other, as you know I’ve been having a few issues with that xD

[sdetweil]

@alyx My Module ONLY addresses configuration of EACH module (stuff that goes in config.js)

what that stuff DOES/MEANS, my module does not know…

I read the source code to figure out the variables defined
and merge that with any info from config.js

and build a form to collect the data

then on save, I take the elements with data and build a new config.js
(rename the old and write the new)
and if restart , then I restart MM to use that new config

[Alyx]

@sdetweil Sounds great as is Sam cant wait to try it tomorrow!

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil ah okay i used the wrong one… i used the one with config.html

[Dinschal]

Is it possible to add a css section in the future? that would be really nice…

thanks for your work and thanks for helping me ;)

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil your module is running well, but if i changed something and create the config, it deleted the location, the locationid and the weather api from the default weather module :( this is really bad… and if i change the timefomat and the analog size in the same module and push the save, create config button it didnt save the canges.

[sdetweil]

@dinschal what do u mean css section?

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil first off all good morning ;)

a section where you can edit the css sections of the modules… like the size or something else…

[sdetweil]

@dinschal did u set the position in the positions section?

can u add debug:true to my module config

copy back the prior config.js

start mm like this

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somefile.txt

then do the change again
press save

then stop mm (ctrl-q)
and send me the somefile.txt
and the two config file, prior and new
and the defaults.js from the module folder
via email. my email is this same userid at gmail

u will have to rename the .js files to
like .txt as js files are not allowed

[sdetweil]

@dinschal ah, I think that would be very difficult.

unless it was a text box w the same thing u would put in custom.css

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil one thing on position.

I write them out in the same order by
position:

all the top_left together, then the top_right, etc
using the module position order value, u can adjust the order of a module in a position list
( I add order: to the module info, so I can continue to keep them that way)

as mm shows them that way

they may NOT be in the same location( line number) in the new file
