        Hi all,
        Bringing an old thread back up, just installed and got this module activated. I think I’ve done it correctly as per github but its not working. It just displays the ‘finished’ message the death and despair bit.

        Can anyone tell me what silly obvious thing I’ve done wrong? Config in the pic below
        Thanks

            Your config looks fine. I just installed and ran the module without a problem, duplicating your config entry. Are you sure you saved the config after having made the entry or that you are not working a second config? I’ve done that plenty of times.

            Here is a screenshot of the module working with your config

            0_1530578697604_22.png

            {
                module: 'MMM-doomsDay',
                position: 'bottom_center', // This can be any of the regions, best results in center regions
                config: {
                    doomsDay: "2019-07-22 24:00:00", // YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, Do not alter the time, just the date
                    toWhat: "Leaving for the USA!",
                    
                    // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
                }
            },
            

            If it continues to give you trouble, you could try https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-EventHorizon which does basically the same thing, with a few more options, as well as a working countdown timer.

              Thanks guys, very weird. The config is exactly as you have copied straight from github. I’ll give Event Horizon a shot.
              Thanks

                hi all
                is there way how to countdown to repeating annivesary? smthg like

                config: {
                        doomsDay: "XXXX-12-24 24:00:00", // YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, Do not alter the time, just the date
                        toWhat: "X-MASS",
                        
                        // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
                    }
                

                ? for x-mass (for kids), marriage anniversary, yearly TAX payment…

                Zdeněk

                  @zdenek Even though I think it’s possible with a few changes to the code, I don’t think this would fit the scope of this module, which is to manually set a countdown to one specific event (noteven a few, right?) but not for a whole list of calendar dates.

                  Even if the code ignores the year and just always shows the next event, does it make sense to have it display “364 days left” right the next day?

                  Anyway, if you want to do that, I’d suggest adding:

                      doomsDay: "2018-12-24 24:00:00",
                      yearlyEvent: true,
                      toWhat: "X-Mass"
                  

                  The most simple simple change to the code would be to add this at line 48:

                  if (this.config.yearlyEvent && daysLeft < = 0) {
                      var diff = now.getFullYear() - doomsday.getFullYear();
                      // update doomsday:
                      doomsDay.setFullYear(d.getFullYear() + diff);
                      // calculate again:
                      timeparser = Date.parse(doomsDay) - Date.parse(now);
                      daysLeft = Math.floor(timeparser/(1000*60*60*24));
                  }
                  

                  (remove the space between “< =” … )
                  I didn’t test this, though, (and I don’t recommend it).

                      Is it possible to add more than 1 event and the module switches between the events with fade in and fade out?

                        See https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CountEvents It could be done with group feature.
