    In config.js

    		{
			module: 'compliments',

            config: {
                anytime: [
                    "Compliment 1",
                    "Compliment 2",
                    "Compliment 3"
                ]
		},

			module: 'currentweather',

    Gives the “Please create a config file” error

    Take out the. . .

            config: {

    The , (comma) after ‘lower_third’. It should look like this

    {
			module: 'compliments',
			position: 'lower_third',
            config: {
                anytime: [
                    "Compliment 1",
                    "Compliment 2",
                    "Compliment 3"
                ]
		},

    Thanks, it was that, and a missing } close curly bracket.

    Oh! Yes, I missed that one. Good catch on your part. So lets fix it in case anyone else looks at this for help. The correct entry would be this:

     {
	module: 'compliments',
	position: 'lower_third',
            config: {
                anytime: [
                    "Compliment 1",
                    "Compliment 2",
                    "Compliment 3"
                ]
                }
		},

    That’s better.

    Whilst the config.js now loads, it’s not showing the new, replacement compliments.

    I’ve restarted NPM, no change.

    I’ve powered Pi off & on, no change.

                    "Compliment 2",
                    "Compliment 3"
                ],
		morning: [
                    "morning Compliment 1",
                    "morning Compliment 2",
                    "morning Compliment 3"
		],
		afternoon: [
                    "afternoon Compliment 1",
                    "afternoon Compliment 2",
                    "afternoon Compliment 3"
		],
		evening: [
                    "evening Compliment 1",
                    "evening Compliment 2",
                    "evening Compliment 3"
		]
                }
		},

    try this please. I do remember there was something like “all 3 cases need to exist, otherwise it takes default values for this”

    No difference, still uses default compliments:

                config: {
                anytime: [
                    "Compliment 1",
                    "Compliment 2",
                    "Compliment 3"
                ],
                morning: [
                    "morning Compliment 1",
                    "morning Compliment 2",
                    "morning Compliment 3"
                ],
                afternoon: [
                    "afternoon Compliment 1",
                    "afternoon Compliment 2",
                    "afternoon Compliment 3"
                ],
                evening: [
                    "evening Compliment 1",
                    "evening Compliment 2",
                    "evening Compliment 3"
                ]
            }
		},

    Changing it to remoteFile, as described here, it works.

    Well, only after it’s still displayed all the default messages.

    Still not picking up different compliments:

    		{
			module: 'compliments',
			position: 'lower_third',
            config: {
			anytime: [
				"Hey!"
			],
			morning: [
				"Good morning, handsome!",
				"Enjoy your day!",
				"How was your sleep?"
			],
			afternoon: [
				"Hello, beauty!",
				"You look sexy!",
				"Looking good today!"
			],
			evening: [
				"Wow!",
				"You!",
				"Hi!"
			]
		},
		updateInterval: 30000,
		remoteFile: null,
		fadeSpeed: 4000
			/*config: {
				remoteFile: 'compliments.json'
			}*/
		},
