<![CDATA[MMM-rainfc wouldn't start/show]]>Hi everybody,

I have a problem with the module MMM-rainfc from 73cirdan.
I have cloned the module to the /MagicMirror folder and changed the config.js file…yet for some reason the module wouldn’t show when I start MM2.
It’s located top_right but it’s not showing.
I have had other modules that for some reason did not show and I removed them because I thought I did something wrong during “installation”.

But I realy would like to know how to fix this.

Kind regards,
Mike

Apart from that can you please post the config entry and confirm that you have cloned the module to the MagicMirror/modules folder and not to the MagicMirror folder itself? :-)

Good reading on the silmarillion. Heavy stuf, but I liked the big plan that unfolds if you read more on tolkiens universe.

Yeah, and hanging out on the MagicMirror forum isn’t nerdy at all. :-)

Excellent! Got my hands on a Silmaril. Olórin is none to happy about that. I’m going to use it to woo Lúthien Tinúviel.

Short story very OFF-TOPIC!
Was in Zeeland in holidays this summer. On the way back to Germany did a random stop in Geldrop to find an Albert Heijn and pack up with all the good stuff you nieghbours have there.

I couldn’t belive my eyes…

Live and learn, brother.

Kudos, and my upvote, to @lavolp3 for a good catch.

It was in the wrong folder indeed!!:confounded_face: :confounded_face:
Works fine now! Learned to check the folder first! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

“Navigate into your MagicMirror’s modules folder and execute ‘git clone https://github.com/73cirdan/MMM-rainfc’”
So I guess human error is the guilty one here! :confounded_face: :confounded_face: :confounded_face: :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

No worries, mate. If the installation instructions in the readme are incorrect then you can send a PR to the author with the correction

instead of “cd MagicMirror/Module”
So I’ll check that tonight hoping I just copied the module to the wrong folder…:face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: :face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: :face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:
Sorry…newbie mistake! :smiling_face_with_halo:

I’ll check tonight when I get home. I Also noticed that when I start the MagicMirror v2.5.0 and it’s loading the config and module helpers. It says: “No helper found for module: MMM-rainfc.”

And for my understanding: all the modules are just ONE folder in the Modules folder right?
And the config.js file starts them with the ( optional) provided settings.
So when I want to try and afterwards remove a module I can simply remove the entry from the config.js and delete the module folder?

Are any errors being reported in your terminal or the dev console. I just installed and ran this module and it fired right up using the example config entry from the readme.
