Weather

[Gamble]

i think my sample file is jacked up. do we have another one on here i can download or copy/paste the code?

[ranger33]

@Gamble your sample is corrupted? That’s odd…

https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/master/config/config.js.sample

Here’s the sample config!

@ranger33

Thanks. I got it to work as default and started to changes things one by one like the weather and news
But I put the trello app over the compliments module and it says invalid file. i put the compliments back in and now it’s all just a big black blank screen. i’m pretty confused here

[ranger33]

When you say put the trello app over compliments what do you mean? If you can explain a bit more we can certainly help yah just need to see what you’re seeing.

I don’t want the compliments so i replaced the compliments text with the trello text. Every time I add the trello it says it’s not a valid file

So here is what I did. I started from scratch with the sample file and it works or at least it worked the first time. Seems nomatter what changes the weather doesn’t display at all. I also have a nightmare of a time exiting the magic mirror app. I’ll do a control f4 and it closes and reopens right away. Or i’ll go to terminal and do a controlx then alt F4 to close the magic mirror and it freezes EVERY time. i have to reboot this pi every time i want to change something, it’s incredibility slow

For the news. I’ve tried changing the URL to a google news, abc7, or anything else I find and it just says loading. i even tried changing one little thing at at time and it still doesn’t work. i’ll post the code in a min. the pi is still loading the browser.

@Gamble you have two mistakes

1. position: "lower_third" has to be ````position: “lower_third”,``` (comma at the end)

config: {
  api_key: "**************",
  token: "https://trello.com/1/authorize?expiration=never&scope=read&response_type=token&name=Server%20Token&key=**********",
  list: "************"

has to be

config: {
  api_key: "**************",
  token: "https://trello.com/1/authorize?expiration=never&scope=read&response_type=token&name=Server%20Token&key=**********",
  list: "************"
}

missing closing curly bracket at the end

Thanks.
One step closer!
Weather doesn’t load and neither does trello. So how would I start to figure out why they don’t show up? All the text looks corrrect

In the time it takes to read these, you could be up and running. Or, you could continue the way you have been.

I’ve read them a few times. My understanding of them is pretty limited.

Could this be the reason? Although it says no helper module for clock but that still works.

@Gamble Well that’s because the clock doesn’t have a node_helper… nor do the weather modules… not sure about Trello…

[Gamble]

what really blows my mind is that the weather will work then the only thing i do is change the name from New York to chicago then it literally shits the bed. I read the tutorials and still can’t get the weather or trello to work
I also found conflicting things on trello where one says for the list you need the ID and the other says you need the url then add .json to the end. Neither of which work

[videogame95]

@Gamble the weater open maps isn’t working .
Use a different module . If you configuration isn’t loading delet use the sample copy its rename it as a copy.
Change the sample
Config.js
Start again .
I deleted the weather module
Add found a different on the works modules .
Reinstall everything.
Once you get to a point of things working put an ad card adpter
In the pi with a new sd card make a copy.
This if you get stuck and can’t fix use your backup copy
But remember copy that one.

All bracks with a }, have to line up in your code config file.
.and try to line up module inline with others.

I hope this is some help
as in space x test flight go wrong well learn more evey time we fix it.
Good luck
