Super nooby question- How to configure the downloaded modules and weather wont show up

[broberg]

@ghaal this line cp config.js.sample config.js
Copys the sample config to the config.js file and should only be done once. If you do this everytime you start your mirror you will keep replacing your config.j s file with the sample config.

@broberg I don’t get it. I have not copied any file into another one (does it automatically happen?) Should I copy this file? How? I have tried editing the regular config, and haven’t touched the sample one. Should I?

[broberg]

@ghaal you copy the sample file ONCE after you have installed the mirror software.

But it looked like you where repeating the copy command ( cp = copy ) before you started the mirror (npm start ) and IF you do this each time, it doesn’t matter what you have saved in the config.js file since it will be overwritten each time you type in : cp config.js.sample config.js

{
module: “currentweather”,
position: “top_right”, .
config: {
location: “(My city)”,
locationID: "(my id) ",
appid: “my appid”
}
}

@ghaal that’s my weather module, but it doesn’t show up

[ghaal]

@ghaal {

		module: "currentweather",

		position: "top_right",

		config: {

			location: "Irvine",

			locationID: "5359777",

			appid: "ee6dbcc4823bb3f9a7f26c49fa64729c"

		}

	},

	{

		module: "weatherforecast",

		position: "top_right",

		header: "Weather Forecast",

		config: {

			location: "BlahBlah",

			locationID: "####",

			appid: "blahblahblah"

		}

that’s a more accurate of focast and current, both don’t show on the magicmirror page. I made sure not to add extra spaces when removing my appid and location.

Here it is! You can copy and paste right from here into your config

              {
		module: "currentweather",
		position: "top_right",
		config: {
			location: "Irvine",
			locationID: "5359777",
			appid: "YOUR API KEY"
		}
		},
		{
		module: "weatherforecast",
		position: "top_right",
		header: "Weather Forecast",
		config: {
			location: "Irvine",
			locationID: "5359777",
			appid: "YOUR API KEY"
		}
		}, // end of weatherforecast entry needs a comma
