Compliments setup

[Richard238]

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'
			}*/
		},

Another day, still no change, compliments ignoring whatever is in config.js.

Thank you.

Do you edit the config.js?
Well… you could be a outlaw and edit the “~/MagicMirror/modules/default/compliments/compliments.js”.
I’ve done that before and it works. But beware of typos. Make a backup! :)

That’s what I have done now, but it is only a fudge, a workaround.

What’s the problem with using config.js to make changes to the compliments module, why doesn’t it work?

@Richard238 I live with the idea that “if it work, dont ask why”.
So I can’t explain why config.js dont work.
