      @geekhouri the mm.sh should be
      cd ~/MagicMirror

      ~ means logged on users home folder

      config.js, yes

      {
           module:"compliments",
           position:"....."
            config:{
                 compliments:   your compliments config {.. }
            }
      }
      

      the system design is
      whatever is in config.js, overrides/replaces what is defined in the module defaults section

        @sdetweil thanks for your feedback, i have updated my config.js file but now i run into the config file error and MM does not load. Code is below as is the error after running config: check

                        {
                                module: "compliments",
                                position: "top_bar"
                                config: {
                                 compliments: {
                                         anytime: ["Be Smart, Be Kind, Be Like Jesus!"],
                                        morning: ["Good morning!", "Enjoy your day!", "How was school"],
                                        afternoon: ["How was School?", "Finish Your homework?"],
                                        evening: ["Sweet Dreams", "You look nice!", "Ready for School"],
                                        "....-01-12": ["Happy new year!"]
                                        "....02-12": ["Happy Birthday E!"]
                                        "....03-12": ["Happy Birthday Z!"]
                                        "....05-12": ["Happy Birthday G!"]
                                        }
                        },
        

        npm run config:check

          @geekhouri said in Compliments module has stopped working:

          Line 68 column 4: Parsing error: Unexpected token config

          yes, 99% of the time that means the line before was missing a trailing comma (which means more lines coming for this item)

          your last 4 lines of the compliments list do not have the trailing comma
          and the position line

          just because I didn’t include it my text above doesn’t mean it’s not required…

              @geekhouri also missing a close } before the last one

                              {
                                      module: "compliments",
                                      position: "top_bar",
                                      config: {
                                       compliments: {
                                               anytime: ["Be Smart, Be Kind, Be Like Jesus!"],
                                              morning: ["Good morning!", "Enjoy your day!", "How was school"],
                                              afternoon: ["How was School?", "Finish Your homework?"],
                                              evening: ["Sweet Dreams", "You look nice!", "Ready for School"],
                                              "....-01-12": ["Happy new year!"],
                                              "....02-12": ["Happy Birthday E!"],
                                              "....03-12": ["Happy Birthday Z!"],
                                              "....05-12": ["Happy Birthday G!"],
                                              }  // end of compliments
                                    }  // end of config
                        } // end of module
              

              you should see the error where you start mm…

              if using pm2, then

              pm2 logs --lines=50

                    @sdetweil thanks again. Saved the file, flushed the logs rebooted and new log is below no new errrors and i think you previously stated the errors below cant be hidden. . Still no Compliments working (i’m at a loss now)

                      @geekhouri ok, lets stop using pm2…

                      pm2 stop all

                      then
                      cd ~/MagicMirror
                      npm start

                      wait

                      if you are doing this on the MM screen
                      ctrl-q to stop mm (with pm2, it would restart it immediately… thats is job)

                      so, see anything in the output??

                      I used your config and it worked (on v2.26) without any issues
