@Fonfon your config.js file that you just pasted the code into is inside your config folder, yes?

Fonfon

Fonfon

cowboysdude

To save yourself time and double check do this…

go to your MagicMirror/config directory

type in terminal window:

cp config.js.sample config.js

Then restart your mirror… lets make sure it’s working first :)

Fonfon

if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {module.exports = config;}

is it the great form ?

Mykle1

@Fonfon I think it should be ‘France/Paris’ with capitals, and a comma after ‘top_left’,

Also, I think that if you leave the default at ‘none’ it will use your system clock

{
module : ‘clock’,
position : 'top_left’,
config: {
timezone: ‘France/Paris’
}
},

is it the great form ?

timezone Specific a timezone to show clock.

Possible examples values: America/New_York, America/Santiago, Etc/GMT+10
Default value: none

Fonfon

That’s right capitals and comma needed
you are the boss thanks !!

Just trying to be helpful. You’re welcome :thumbsup:

@Fonfon

Just a suggestion that I give all new people… before you make changes to a working config.js make a copy of it… that way if you can’t figure out or you need something to compare it to you have your backup :)

@cowboysdude said in Bad question:

Excellent advice, and I agree. We were just trying to get him a working config.js in the first place

Fonfon

Is it necessary to rename the config.js to config.js.sample every time you want to modify it?
Or is there a simpler manipulation.

yes now i do this !! i have a copy of my config.js ;)

Mykle1

@Fonfon - No, you don’t have to rename your config.js file to edit it but you might want to back it up BEFORE you edit it. This way, if anything goes wrong you’re safe

Fonfon

@Mykle1 for sure i understand how i can do for editing file without rename it ?
