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

[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

[ghaal]

{
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
