MMM-WorldTides, no output on screen


  • @yawns and others,
    Just installed your module WorldTides.

    On screen I only get the info that the WorldTides data is loading … But even after 2 minutes it is still loading. What am I doing wrong?
    I can’t find my error, grrr !!!

    This is my part of the config.sys

    {
	module		: 'MMM-WorldTides',
	position 	: 'top_right',
	header		: 'Getijden',
	config		: {
		longitude	: '52.212',
		latitude	: '4.399',
		appid		: '************************************'
	}
},

    When I do a call in my browser I get a result from the server.
    The call I make :
    http://www.worldtides.info/api?extremes&lat=52.212&lon=4.399&lenght=2592000000&key=************************************

    The result I get, within a second;

    I even tried the longitude and latitude as a number, but that is not a solution either.
    longitude : 52.212, (without ‘’)

    Hi, I haven’t played around with the module for a long time and I don’t have a magic mirror in use currently.
    I will try to take a look into this tomorrow, but I cannot promise.

    What? haha That post was directed to yawns. I thought I would give him a headsup on the error.

    However, tell me what info you are looking for regarding the tides. Do you simply want the current day’s high and low tides with the times they occur? I could try and put something together for you if I have the time. Then yawns can look at his module when he has the time.

    I’am living near the coast and often go for a walk along the beach. It’s handy to now when it’s high or low tides, especially if I want to photograph. But I have patience, do not hurry, just worry that I do not get it working.

    @yawns and @Mykle1,

    I found the problem, yeah !!!
    The apiBase URL has to change from

    apiBase: "http://worldtides.info/api"

    to

    apiBase: "https://worldtides.info/api"

    Yep, you are right. However you cannot simply replace the apibase, do you? I guess I have to change the module to use request() to allow access to https and to avoid no-origin replies.

    I replaced the apibase in the file MMM-WorldTides.js as discribed above (line 29). So I think you should update the module with this.
    I will be looking in to your code to make some changes in the layout off the out put, so when you are interested let me now.
