Modifying Compliments module

    So i’ve been working on this for a few weeks now and i’m completely stuck. I tried to change the compliments module in config.js and get an error at the three lines after position. Can anyone figure out what I’m doing wrong? here is my config.js
    /* Magic Mirror Config Sample

    */

    var config = {
    address: “localhost”, // Address to listen on, can be:
    // - “localhost”, “127.0.0.1”, “::1” to listen on loopback interface
    // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
    // - “”, “0.0.0.0”, “::” to listen on any interface
    // Default, when address config is left out, is “localhost”
    port: 8080,
    ipWhitelist: [“127.0.0.1”, “::ffff:127.0.0.1”, “::1”], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
    // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
    // [“127.0.0.1”, “::ffff:127.0.0.1”, “::1”, “::ffff:192.168.1.5”],
    // or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
    // [“127.0.0.1”, “::ffff:127.0.0.1”, “::1”, “::ffff:192.168.3.0/28”],

  • Use a different module for compliments…

    https://github.com/cowboysdude/MMM-NiceThings

    A lot easier to use…

  • This is the config…VERY simple!

    {
    module: ‘MMM-NiceThings’,
    position: ‘lower_third’
    },

    @Mykle1 will show you the errors so if you want you can also fix your config 🙂 He’s good like that!

    Your use of curly quotes

    “Good morning love!”,

    Should be

    "Good morning love!",

    No more curly quotes, EVER! :^)

    Just so we’re clear, you can’t use them at all so you’ll have to check your entire config for them.

    Find ” and “ Replace with "

    @Mykle1 Thank you. I’m new at this and didn’t notice it but will do from now on.

    @Mykle1 Outside of that though is there any syntax issue with the lines starting with config: { down to compliments: {?
    Edit: thanks guys turns out I had left out a comma and putting that in fixed it (after changing the quotes).

    No worries friend. We’ve all been there.

    Excellent! Those are two things you won’t forget.

    Enjoy your mirror! :^)
