How to go back to previous version of a module?
-
The newest version of MMM-NetworkScanner is not working for me the way the previous version was. I just don’t know how to go about finding previous versions. I went the module clone page on github but I don’t see previous versions.
Please advise, and thank you ahead of time

Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

I should
downloadfrom the version page I want? If I do agit clone https://github.com/ianperrin/MMM-NetworkScanner.gitwon’t that give me the newest version? -
@Mykle1 yes then do
git checkout COMMITIDthe commitid can be found on the right side of the list -
If you follow Strawberrys link, you see hash codes like 7a03e01. You don’t need to clone the repository again, you just tell git to switch to another “version”.
So you open a terminal, change into the module folder and run
git checkout 7a03e01to checkout this specific version. As an alternative you could run a command likegit checkout @{14.days.ago}orgit checkout 'master@{1979-02-26 18:30:00}' -

Ahh, well, I had already trashed my MMM-NetworkScanner folder. I didn’t know about the commands below.

This is very good information. It would have saved me some anxious moments and some time as I am hesitant to change anything in my MM now because it’s just about as beautiful as it gets! There are still some things that I want to do, and I will. I like to take things slowly and try to absorb as much information as I can. I probably should have kept a running file to document all the things that I’ve been shown or taught here so I can retrieve them when needed. I have gotten better at searching though and can usually find what I am looking for. Only after looking and trying do I like to ask for help.
Anyway, thank you again.

One tip that has helped me several times, for several reasons is to ***** Make a back up copy of Custom css AND Config.js as you go along.
I’m pretty sure that was me

same with the MMM-Remote
Go get MMM-Remote-Control right now. Barely any setup. It’s a must have
