Hi,

I am very new to this (only have experience with VBA, simple C+ from using MATLAB, you get the point).

I used git clone https://github.com/MattLugar/wuforecast to download the files to my modules directory then changed the default weather module to the wuforecast module in the config.js file. However, when I run the Mirror program I get a completely black screen.

All of the files appear to have been downloaded correctly to the directory and I cant find any syntax errors in the config.js file. I wrote everything exactly as follows:

modules: [
    {
        module: 'wuforecast',
        position: 'top_right',  // This can be any of the regions.
                                    // Best results in left or right regions.
        config: {
            // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
            location: 'France/Paris',
            appid: 'abcde12345abcde12345abcde12345ab' //wunderground.com API key.
        }
    }
]

Any help?

Thank you!

If this is your entire config file, than it’s to be expected it doesn’t work…

Should be something like this (using thhe sample as an …example):

/* Magic Mirror Config Sample

 * By Michael Teeuw http://michaelteeuw.nl
 * MIT Licensed.
 */
var config = {
    port: 8080,

    language: 'en',
    timeFormat: 24,
    units: 'metric',

    modules: [{
        module: 'alert',
    }, {
        module: ‘wuforecast’,
        position: ‘top_right’, // This can be any of the regions.
        // Best results in left or right regions.
        config: {
            // See ‘Configuration options’ for more information.
            location: ‘France / Paris’,
            appid: ‘abcde12345abcde12345abcde12345ab’ //wunderground.com API key.
        }
    }, {
        module: 'clock',
        position: 'top_left'
    }, {
        module: 'calendar',
        header: 'US Holidays',
        position: 'top_left',
        config: {
            calendars: [{
                symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
                url: 'webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics'
            }]
        }
    }, {
        module: 'compliments',
        position: 'lower_third'
    }, {
        module: 'currentweather',
        position: 'top_right',
        config: {
            location: 'New York',
            locationID: '', //ID from bulk.openweather.org/sample/
            appid: 'YOUR_OPENWEATHER_API_KEY'
        }
    }, {
        module: 'weatherforecast',
        position: 'top_right',
        header: 'Weather Forecast',
        config: {
            location: 'New York',
            locationID: '5128581', //ID from bulk.openweather.org/sample/
            appid: 'YOUR_OPENWEATHER_API_KEY'
        }
    }, {
        module: 'newsfeed',
        position: 'bottom_bar',
        config: {
            feeds: [{
                title: "New York Times",
                url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
            }],
            showSourceTitle: true,
            showPublishDate: true
        }
    }, ]

};

/*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {
    module.exports = config;
}

@RedNax
That was not my entire config file, just the part inserting the wuforecast module. However I deleted and cloned the wuforecast files again without changing my config file and it works fine now. Any idea as to why that might have been?

Thank you for the reply!

I had the same problem, but I found the solution:
You had to put the api key wuforecast and the location in config file and in wuforecast.js file .
After that worked.

Anybody that can help me config this for a US city would be much obliged, I have tried several different ways of displaying the city based on whats in the README, but it doesn’t work since I have a single name city the README says to list it as

‘NY/New_York’

I am in Portland, Oregon, and have tried:

Portland/Oregon
portland/oregon
portland/Oregon

None of the above work. IS their some secret city code buried somewhere I can’t find?

strawberry 3.141

@cloudzombie it must be the state and then the city try OR/Portland

cloudzombie

@strawberry-3.141

Sweet man, that worked for that, only thing left is the icons don’t work, shows [] in place of them.

Did you ever fix that? I have the same problem.
