MMM-GQuotes

That is what I already did. Just running GQuote itself without other modules also shows the mentioned error.

Just run a “npm outdated” with the following result:

Package Current Wanted Latest Location
electron 1.6.6 1.6.8 1.6.6 magicmirror
grunt-markdownlint 1.0.33 1.0.37 1.0.37 magicmirror
iconv-lite 0.4.16 0.4.17 0.4.17 magicmirror

Yes but if you go into the MMM-GQuote dir and run “npm outdated” it returns nothing… soooooo that’s not the issue…

iconv-lite only appears when you run it from the MagicMirror root dir…

Which means GQuotes is using all the latest version of npm modules…

This is my config:
{
module: ‘MMM-GQuotes’,
position: ‘top_left’,
config: {
maxWidth: “100%”,
header: “Zitat des Tages”,
}
},

I cannot find anything wrong with the module that would cause that error.

Same as my config:
{
module: ‘MMM-GQuotes’,
position: ‘top_right’,
config: {
maxWidth: “100%”,
header: “Zitat des Tages”,
}
},

Maybe we find some other users for testing. Cannot imagine that I´am the only one…

@Fistandantilus So far you are the only one… if you look above there are others testing it… they are having no issues either…

I don’t see anything wrong with this module. It does not report any errors in the console or the terminal. It does not affect other modules. See my picture below. GQuotes is running happily in between two other modules. Perhaps there was some failure in your install of MM, or the Pi you are using. Have you changed any of the system or module files?

Hi guys,

I just found the reason that was causing the error. There was a typo in the position in the config :face_palm:
Sorry for causing such trouble! Now it is working like a charm :)

That’s good @Fistandantilus :))

@cowboysdude i noticed today, that the quote did not updated. Any suggestion why?

Mykle1

Wow . . . and . . . wow

cowboysdude

@Fistandantilus LOL well it happens…

pauabaer

hi @cowboysdude
at which time does the quotes getting updated? does it change at a specific time? depends this time on your timezone?

every morning (CEST) i see the same quote like in the evening. at the homepage it is getting updated at 02.00 a.m. that would be nice if your module is getting updated at the same time. so i see each morning the new quote.

is this possible?

cowboysdude

@pauabaer It checks the date on the file…

pauabaer

Hm.
i found this entry in the xml file:
2017-05-09T00:05:45+01:00

But it did not get updated at this time.

cowboysdude

@pauabaer If you found that entry in an xml file then you’re looking at the wrong module…this one doesn’t have an xml file the quote comes from an xml file but doesn’t look at or use the time from that xml file. This module creates a json file and adds a time stamp to it. It then checks the timestamp of the file it saves.

Probably what is happening is that it is going out and if the date if different it’s rewriting the file and if the quote hasn’t changed by then it’s just rewriting this file with a new timestamp and not updating as it should.

I changed the update interval for this you can do a git pull to update and see if that works better.

This is what it says: “timestamp”:“5/4/2017”

The only other option is to take the cache out and have it update hourly… so let me look at it and we’ll see. The only problem is that it may change the quote more then daily…

At any rate I have to actually go to my job… I like eating and having a place to live… my hobby will have to wait until later when I have time to look at it. ;)

pauabaer

Of course, let your hobby wait. :D there are more important things to do.

tonight i will do a gi pull and give a feedback. Thank you so far!
