Changing compliments

[cruunnerr]

@Stacy
you don’t need to change compliments in the config of the module. When u ever update your mirror the changes will be overwrite.

Just do it in the normal “MagicMirror/config/config.js”

Your compliments sector should look like this:

            {
			module: "compliments",
			position: "lower_third",
                        config: {
	                           compliments: {
		                   anytime: [
			           "Hey there sexy!"
		                   ],
		                   morning: [
			           "Good morning, handsome!",
			           "Enjoy your day!",
			           "How was your sleep?"
		                   ],
		                   afternoon: [
			           "Hello, beauty!",
			           "You look sexy!",
			           "Looking good today!"
		                   ],
		                   evening: [
			           "Wow, you look hot!",
			           "You look nice!",
			           "Hi, sexy!"
		                   ]
	                     }
                       }
		},

instead of just using “morning, afternoon, evening” u can also use these:

day_sunny
day_cloudy
cloudy
cloudy_windy
showers
rain
thunderstorm
snow
fog
night_clear
night_cloudy
night_showers
night_rain
night_thunderstorm
night_snow
night_alt_cloudy_windy

@cruunnerr Thanks for your reply. That is where I changed the compliment and I got the error message. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

[cruunnerr]

post your whole config file (hide personal stuff as calendar or APIs) in a code box and i will check.

Or try it yourself by using www.jshint.com

@Stacy you have a synthax error in the config. Just check it by running

npm run config:check

from the magicmirror directory.
OR post your compliments part of the config here.

[Stacy]

@lavolp3 after I make changes to config/config.J’s did I save it as the same file or give it a new name?

[Stacy]

@Stacy do I

[lavolp3]

@Stacy save it as the same file. But please do not use windows programs like word or wordpad to edit it. They will break the file. In windows you should use e.g. notepad or notepad++. On debian/raspbian you can use whatever you like

@lavolp3 thanks. I am using nano.

[Stacy]

@Stacy so, just to clear, I go to modules folder, then default, then compliments, then compliments.js. to edit?

[Stacy]

@lavolp3 so I go to modules, default, compliments, and change it there? I just want to make sure I am in the right folder. Thank u SO much for helping.
