This may help.

From the readMe

Finally, it you would like to colour code your entries, you can specify an optional parameter ‘color’ property that will give the icon whatever color you specify in hexadecimal format. e.g.:

{
  routeNo : '501',
  stop : '6108',
  label : 'Queen Westbound',
  color : '#82BAE5' //colours the transit icon a light blue colour
},

MyTTC stops at loading - does it require an API? - followed all steps for the ttc.

Another GREAT MODULE !!!

I installed the module and setup using the default config in the readme

it failed with this message

[22:04:25.291] [LOG]    raw ={"copyright":"All data copyright Toronto Transit Commission 2019.","Error":{"content":"For agency=ttc stop s=1148 is on none of the directions for r=143 so cannot determine which stop to provide data for.","shouldRetry":"false"}}

i removed stop 1148 from the stop request and it all works…

add this line to the node_helper.js and then look at the output on the terminal window or in the pm2 logs

    var predictionsArray = new Array();
		console.log("raw ="+JSON.stringify(rawJSON));   // add this line < - --
    if (rawJSON.predictions.length) {

the module is unable to tell u about error conditions like this

You are correct - removed the stop 1148 and it WORKS !! :)

Thank you - worked on this for hours!!

Hello! I’m a newb to this community so I hope it’s ok if I resurrect this old thread. I just started trying to set up my Magic Mirror and got caught on the MyTTC Module not working properly. I managed to fix it and wanted to relay this to others so they could too. I’m not sure how to fork a module and upload it otherwise so hopefully someone whose been coding longer might be able to do it!

Anyway, Nextbus changed the URL for making XML requests so I had to change this line in the node_helper.js:
webServiceURL: “https://retro.umoiq.com/service/publicJSONFeed”,
To this line:
webServiceURL: “http://webservices.nextbus.com/service/publicJSONFeed”,

I’m also having some issues with getting the Line and Stop numbers from the TTC as what I put in doesn’t seem to line up with what Nextbus/Umoiq has, but I’m still working on that. I hope this helps someone who is running into the same issues.

@Lvl15_Gazebo great work.

to fork on the module GitHub page push the fork button, top right.

now u have YOUR own copy

git clone that to magic mirror
(rename the old one first)

now u can copy in the files u changed from the old one to your copy

git status
will show the changed files

when u want to update your copy on GitHub

git add xxx
each of the files u changed (that’s xxx)

and then git commit -m" some message about why these changes"

then git push to upload the repo to github

if u want to contribute those back to the source module, you will see a contribute button to make a pull request

@sdetweil Thanks! I’ll give that a shot.

I also determined last night that there is now a third variable for the transit request on UMOIQ for “direction” so I’ll try to figure that out before I submit anything. I’m not the best coder so that might take a bit, haha. Hopefully, I don’t need to change the XML parsing too!

@Lvl15_Gazebo cool. if u get stuck ask away
