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

sdetweil

@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

sdetweil

@doogy_rev see email for downloading fix

doogy_rev

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

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.

@Socrates i really want to look at this problem.

@sdetweil I get the same blank page and the reason is that it errors on buildschema4.js.

The reason is the compliments module:

compliments: {
anytime: [“Hey there sexy!”],
morning: [“Good morning, handsome!”, “Enjoy your day!”, “How was your sleep?”],
afternoon: [“Hello, beauty!”, “You look sexy!”, “Looking good today!”],
evening: [“Wow, you look hot!”, “You look nice!”, “Hi, sexy!”],
“…-01-01”: [“Happy new year!”]
},
