@BD0G said in MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module:

MMM-DarkSkyForecast.js

file name is uppercase D

all has to match

change the name of the folder and the entry in config.js

[sdetweil]

@BD0G to git clone, find the project on github, push the green clone or download button, then push the clipbpard icon. it will copy the repo url to the clipboard for you

past that behind git clone

@sdetweil

I renamed the Directory under modules to reflect a capital D in the name DarkSkyForecast. Since there is already a capital D within the name of the module within the config.js file then no change is needed to the config.js. Correct?

@BD0G said in MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module:

Since there is already a capital D within the config.js file

the error says otherwise

Could not find main module js file for MMM-darkSkyForecast

this means Mirror went to the folder, and tried to find MMM-darkSkyForecast.js,
but it wasn’t present… ONLY way to get that is from the config.js

[BD0G]

OK. I checked and the name of the directory is
MMM-DarkSkyForecast (with a capital D)
The name of the file below that directory is
MMM-DarkSkyForecast.js (with capital D)

and the entry in the config.js is
module: “MMM-DarkSkyForecast”, (with capital D)

[sdetweil]

@BD0G ok, fire it up…

[BD0G]

This is the exact way I installed as per the instructions upon the GitHub.com page for MMM-DarkSkyForecast

Installation
Navigate into your MagicMirror modules folder and execute
git clone https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-DarkSkyForecast.git.
Enter the new MMM-DarkSkyForecast directory and execute npm install.

It created a directory with a lowercase d within the name MMM-DarkSkyForecast under /MagicMirror/modules

[sdetweil]

@BD0G ok, never seen that happen

[BD0G]

Wow! Now I see the weather! Now I will change the Celsius to Fahrenheit and wind speed to Miles Per Hour instead of Kilometers Per Hour

[sdetweil]

@BD0G cool…

@j-e-f-f
is it possible to have a space/blank line between the hourly and daily forecasts in the table view?

[mrdenmark]

@sdetweil sorry,posted the question to the wrong person-changed now!

@mrdenmark well, you COULD go into the .njk template file and put in an <hr> just above this part

        {# Daily #}
        {% if config.showDailyForecast %}

or give the forecast-item hourly classes a border-top: 1px solid #cccvia css.

[mrdenmark]

@lavolp3
it worked,thankyou:)

[lavolp3]

@mrdenmark thinking about that again the better way would be to give the daily forecast part a border-top in your custom css. That way you would not have to struggle when you want to update the module.
Let me know if you need help with that.

[BD0G]

I do. :)

[lavolp3]

@BD0G
The css way is not as easy as I would have assumed.

All the elements in the forecast belong have “.forecast-item .hourly” classes so are not distinguishable.
I currently don’t know of a pure css way to get in between them and give the first daily forecast a margin or a border.

It’s possible to add animated .mov format icons to this module? I have found some amazing icons, but just bevor I buy it i will be shure that it will be working… animated weather icons…
THX!
