Clock format

[sdetweil]

@louise nope, still don’t want to see the code

edit your ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js

find the section that says

   module:"clock"

and copy from the line above that is

{

to the macthing line below
that is

}

and paste THAT, and then select it all (ctrl a)
and then it the button

please read the two topics below in my signature…

@louise hmm… still not sure what the problem is

select/copy from config.js

replay to message here

paste text

ctrl-a (select all)
(it will have my userid in the select of the reply )
press code block button

I just did this and got

@louise
		{
			module: "clock",
			position: "top_left"
		},

@sdetweil Would it be easier if I just started over?

with what? ignore what is above

@sdetweil Just a new install of Magic Mirror, rename this as MagicMirror1 and do a new install.

@louise no… u havent hurt anything… we can get back the changed files easy

the design makes it so we can change the code whenever we need to (we own it) and your implementation is not impacted, and you also aren’t blocked from getting the quarterly updates (next one coming Jan 1) …

if you think it would be easier for you, then sure ,rename the folder, use my script to install again
and then migrate your source file changes to config.js

but u can migrate the changes now, no harm …

@louise said in Clock format:

{
module: “clock”,
position: “top_left”
},

still didnt’ get the select all

and this is the only part we needed

{
module: “clock”,
position: “top_left”
},

it has no config:{} section, so all the module defaults are used

to change some setting here do

{
module: “clock”,
position: “top_left”,     // <-  add a comma (more stuff follows this line) 
config : {
     timeFormat:24, 
}
},

in the setting above clock will use 24 hour format, even if the base is set to 12 hour format

@sdetweil Given a choice I would rather just have this figured out. Did I do right this time?
