MMM-forecast-io -- Localized up to the minute weather

FlatPepsi

@jinjirosan - The temperature bars auto scale based upon the width of the rest of the module. I suspect some other changes you’ve made have caused the module to get wider, so you’re looking at a side effect and not a cause.

It might also be a screen resolution – the crypto currency module underneath in your screenshot is wide as well. I’m using a crummy small monitor, and have very narrow margins.

I love that someone else is picking this up and running with this module. Looks good!

Thx for the quick reply! Yes, the crypto currency module also scales based on the width of the “top right” column of the mirror. Still have to fix that but up until now the other modules above and below were of narrower width.

Screen resolution could be it, I’m using a 24" monitor at native 1080p. I do remember that the sunrise/sunset, hourly forcast line above the graph and the days forcast below the graph were shifted to the left before I made changes but I’ll check to make sure.

Is there a way to “fix” the sunset/sunrise/hourly and the forecast days/bars in place instead of having it auto-scale?

-edit- : I freshly pulled @FlatPepsi and the days/bars and the sunrise/sunset/hourly forecast are shifted to the left as shown in my original picture.
Also pulled @dmcinnes repo and that seems to outline the way I like to see it. Looking at a diff between the files the table generate section seems the same.

The mirror project for me is to work on my coding skills as well (which do need a lottttttt of work :-) ) so pls bear with me when I ask something that might be obvious :-)

jinjirosan

Got it :-)

Playing around with the Chrome inspector and fiddling with additional CSS classes, have it lined up nicely now.

Now the hard(er) part, the visualization changes.

Please correct syntax errors.

It could be something as simple as a comma, or quote being out of place, or missing.

Post your config here for help, but please follow this guide on how to post code on the forum correctly.

I have tried several ways and have even ran the npm run config:check it says thet expected to see { but sees something else.
