Default Modules

nem1

Just a quick question to the Weather Forecast default module. It is working fine, thanks for that, but:

Today, we have Monday and the weather for today is shown by using the module current weather. Why is the monday (today) also included in the weather forecast?

Thank you!

For the sake of completeness I’d say that even on the current day it’s still helpfull to see the forecast with the lowest and highest temp throughout the day.

The reason I revided this thread, though, is: DECIMAL MARKS IN WEATHER MODULES

I saw a lot of Mirrors from German users with typographically wrong decimal marks in the defeault modules Current Weather and Weather Forecast (9.5°C vs 9,5°C).

With the latest update, there’s the possibility to change the decimal mark from the English decimal dot to the German (and other language’s) decimal comma. If you’re not sure what decimal mark your language is using, check this list on Wikipedia.

Usage:
In the config of currentweather and weatherforecast, just add the line

decimalSymbol: ","

only with MagicMirror² v2.2.0 and up

@KirAsh4 just adding a link to github for the default modules as was difficult to find the second time I was looking for it.

@nem1 I’ve got the same problem with the forecast too. After approx 15:00 in a day I dont want to see that day’s for cast as it’s 60% of the day gone, therefore the next day should be shown.

@n21brown open an issue on the magicmirror github site so someone can track it.

if you are a programmer, and want to contribute the fix as u care about it, then fork the repo, and make changes, then submit a pull request back. we are all volunteers on this project

and if u are not a programmer, maybe its a new challenge?

who knows what the module ; Hello World does

is this a voice command or news

i want to know what is the function of ; Hello World

how i can activate it

broberg

@bjjsoul it does nothing but display the text “hello world”. It’s a super basic template for buildinh your own module.

@KirAsh4 looks like latest calendar build has an issue with “broadcastPastEvents”

If I set it to true, it will not display any events. Calendar only works if set to false.

A little improvement on compliments: a day of the week category.

const day = moment().format("dddd");
...
if (day in this.config.compliments) {
              compliments.push.apply(compliments, this.config.compliments[day])
}

allows entries like:

"Monday" : [
    "Looks like somebody has a case of the Mondays"
],
"Tuesday" : [
    "Take out the trash."
]

Sorry, I didn’t see a better place to drop this
