      I always like to expand the default compliments a little bit (using an external json file), so I guess I can share it as well:

          First of all, thanks for the new compliments! But I’m a noob and I can’t seem to figure this out. As I understand, first you copy this file to: pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/default/compliments

          Do I have to edit config.js or compliments.js and what exactly do I put there?

            @dmd Just add remoteFile: “compliments.json” to the compliments module configuration

                @gotchabeats you don’t its just a word…

                means the compliments are the file, not in config.js

                just

                {
                module: 'compliments',
                   config: { 
                     remoteFile: 'whatever the filename is',
                   ...
                   ...
                   }
                },

                    I was wondering how I can just link to a LOCAL file (instead of your github): I’d like to change the contents.
                    (Yes, I could copy to my OWN github and modify, but that seems a bit wierd).
                    I have to date failed with

                    remoteFile: "~\MagicMirror\config\compliments.json"
                    

                    where I had copied your file to.

                    What am I missing?
                    Thanks

                      @amanzimdwini I always use it locally, github is just a place for sharing it, so you are doing the right thing. You can always fork it to keep your personal compliments safe, but that’s up to you.

                      To use it, copy the file to somewhere (ie, in the compliments module folder: modules/default/compliments/compliments.js) and use it in your config like this:

                          {
                            module: "compliments",
                            position: "bottom_bar",
                            disabled: false,
                            config: {
                              remoteFile: "compliments.json",
                              updateInterval: 10000,
                              classes: "thin bright medium",
                              fadeSpeed: 2000,
                            },
                          },
                      

                      Good luck!

                        @ryck Do you know if compliments can be set to fit a grid? I have it at the top right about my todo list and when it rotates it causes the todo to also change in size?
