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

@stoffel yes, the forum is not very helpful on why a posting error… i get it too…
i refresh the screen and then I can post the exact same message… (I copy it before refresh)

MMM-Volume… i thought i pushed that one line change… just did… git pull

the localhost/0.0.0.0

will examine

sdetweil

@stoffel ok, fixes… in branch newform…

on the QR code messages I was changing address AND ipWhitelist EMPTY…
i only check address now, and assume you know what you are doing on whitelist

For any that want to look at the multi-module form layout and give feedback

checkout the multi-module branch

git checkout multi-module

there is a file that contains the list of module names that CAN be used multiple times in the same config.js

modules_list.txt

you cannot submit the form, only view it…

to go back to the operating version

git checkout main

or

(with the .... fixes) 
git checkout newform

well, i need a free port to have the two parts communicate.

I had ‘guessed’ at a free port, but some other users had stuff running there
so, I have it get a free port, but now I have to pass that to the form side…

use the review URL , it will always redirect to the correct url

it will probably never change on your system , so once u know what the number is, use that url…

So, I’m getting the header and nothing else.

fresh install of MagicMirror using the script, PM2. Here’s my config, as you can see, the only changes are the listening address, the ipWhitelist, and the addition of the module as shown in the readme.

modules I installed (but didn’t configure for testing) were MMM-Config, MMM-Multimonth, and MMM-OpenWeatherForecast.

var config = {
        address: "0.0.0.0",     // Address to listen on, can be:
        port: 8080,
        basePath: "/",  // The URL path where MagicMirror is hosted. If you are using a Reverse proxy
        ipWhitelist: [],        // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
        useHttps: false,                // Support HTTPS or not, default "false" will use HTTP
        httpsPrivateKey: "",    // HTTPS private key path, only require when useHttps is true
        httpsCertificate: "",   // HTTPS Certificate path, only require when useHttps is true
        language: "en",
        locale: "en-US",
        logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR"], // Add "DEBUG" for even more logging
        timeFormat: 24,
        units: "metric",
        // serverOnly:  true/false/"local" ,
        // local for armv6l processors, default
        //   starts serveronly and then starts chrome browser
        // false, default for all NON-armv6l devices
        // true, force serveronly mode, because you want to.. no UI on this device

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

                }
        },
... (no changes after this point)

@bkeyport if u open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, and select the console tab. are there errors shown

also if u look in the pm2 logs, are there problems.

do a
git checkout newform
and try again. lots of fixes there

the latest code requires a port number to be passed to the form page… use the review link

http://mm_ip:mm_port/modules/MMM-Config/review
(thats the url on the qr image)
