MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module

chris1971

Noob need some advice: Wunderground was running properly untill my API key expired. Now I try to install DarkSKy. I have updated MM to 2.6.0 and installed MMM-DarkSkyForecast and got a newe folder home/pi/MagicMirror/MMM-DarkSkyForecast.

How can I implement the module that its’s running? What do I have to change:

config.js:
{
module: “MMM-DarkSkyForecast”,
header: “Weather”,
position: “top_right”,
classes: “default everyone”,
disabled: false,
config: {
apikey: “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”,
latitude: “51.4185682”,
longitude: “6.8845226”,
iconset: “4c”,
concise: false,
forecastLayout: “table”
}
},

So, I have added the nice module. I have to adjust the size - who can give some tips/ advice to bring the module in shape?

I would like to have it in this shape:

@chris1971

I think this should do it for you. In your config entry

forecastLayout: "tiled"

chris1971

Yes, have “tiled” in the config - but the size is not like in the pic…the module is shown over the entire right screen size… pls. refer to the upper picture…

@chris1971 said in MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module:

Yes, have “tiled” in the config

Oh, I’m sorry, because your config entry above says, forecastLayout: "table",

chris1971

sorry - I copied the config of an older status…

@chris1971 Well the module gets wrapped because it doesn’t have enough space in the right bar.
You could

exclude details in the forecast section (there’s an option)
give the right bar more space by determining it’s width with css
let the module show only 2 forecast items of each (instead of the 3 you have currently) (also via config options)

And of course you could switch off the long forecast text. I THINK you can do that as well via config options.

Go through the options of the module, there’s a LOT to adjust.

chris1971

thanks- I tried to reduce the size of the long forecast text - do you know how to adjust? I think I have to do this in the DarkSky.css…

chris1971

The adjustment of the width was the key factor… thx…

But I do not found out how to adjust the font size or position of the long forecast text… Do I have to do this in the custom.css?

This is my try in the custom.css - but seem not to work as expected…
