      @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.

        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?

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

                    I posted a new release the other day, which finally fixes compliments the right way, and enables other module authors to leverage the same capabilities.
                    documented in the readme.

                      I love the idea of this module, not sure why i missed it out before. Anywho now that i am trying to set it up, i have installed the module (did not use sudo).
                      Inserted this much code with no modification.

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

                      And when i go to the URL i see a blank page.

                        @Socrates SOOOOO much fun, because there are no types in javascript and no standards for modules, i have to discover and guess the author’s intent.

                        sometimes i have a bug, sometimes they do weird unexpected things
                        can you look at the console where you do npm start?

                        if you use pm2, then

                        pn2 logs --lines=xxxx
                        

                        where xxxx is a number of lines to display, default 15
                        I’ve tested w a lot of modules, but not all

                        can u give me a list of all the modules in your config.js

                        grep "module:" ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js | uniq | sort -h
                        

                        you didn’t see it cause its not listed in the modules list

                        would you be willing to send me
                        a copy of your config.js, xxx out apikeys, private data urls, but make sure to leave the structure

                        from the the module folder, the
                        defaults.js
                        and the schema3.json —/ again edit out private things (near the bottom)

                        i do not share info sent to me, ever,
                        you can also attach the cleaned files to an issue on the module github page

                        if emailing
                        .js files have to be renamed by adding .txt to the end

                        defaults and schema3 are constructed from your installed modules

                        me email is the same userid as here at gmail.
