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

[brianlove]

Thank you for this! So I’m new to MM (you’ve got to love that phrase, right?) but slowly learning. I’ve got MM-Config running and can access it via a separate laptop on my network. I can see the running modules, and the QR Code, but when I go to turn a module on/off and “save,” it won’t do anything on the MM side. I can see the “config_last_change” file has the date and time, but can’t figure out why nothing is changing or saving.

Any ideas? Thanks again!

@brianlove Did you restart your Mirror? (Not the whole pi, just the mirror app)

If so, please elaborate. Which module are you toggling? Can you share the config segment showing the change?

[brianlove]

@bkeyport

I did restart the mirror. As for the modules, I’ve tried multiple ones, but specifically currentweather & CalendarWeek.

	{
	module:"MMM-Config",
	position:"top_right",  // the QR code (if requested) will appear here
	config:{

	}
},

@brianlove I will check when I can.

could u enable debug in my module
( if using pm2, do pm2 stop all)
then start with

npm start > somefile.txt

then do the edit and save on the form

and then stop mm (ctrl-q) and send me the
somefile.txt via email.

same userid as here at gmail.
thanks

Hi All,

I reinstalled my MM this week and decided to use this module to do the configurations. Its all installed and I can see all my modules, however it seems to be hit and miss on enabling and setting the positions. for example,

default clock - this would not enable, I manually enabled it in the config and now shows Blue but can not set the position, either from the page or in the config.

Default calendar - this enabled ok, shows blue, but can not set the position, does not save

MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - works perfectly

newsfeed - works perfectly.

Any ideas on why some modules seem to be hit or miss?

Sorry for the thread resurrection, was not sure where to post.

Thanks

@doogy_rev set debug in my module config

debug:true,

then start mm like this

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somefile.txt

if you use pm2 for autostart
before the above do

pm2 stop all

after running and ‘saving’

ctrl-c to stop mm

send the somefile.txt to my email, or open an issue on the module and attach it there. (warning this log file has full text contents of config.js, so sending as email is better as issues are public). my email is this same userid at gmail

also, positions are set down below, not in the config up above… right?

[doogy_rev]

@sdetweil I just emailed you the file, and yes I am setting the positions using the positions drop down menu at the bottom.

[sdetweil]

@doogy_rev yes, checking shortly

@doogy_rev see email for downloading fix

@sdetweil Works like a champ! Thank you for looking in to this and fixing.
