SOLVED Change Compliments

dgregory19

I would like to change the default compliments but dont see them under compliments module. Or do i need to add the config shown in compliments page.

Yes, you need to create them within config.js

This is my config (replace ‘bla bla bla’ as you want):

		module: "compliments",
		position: "lower_third",
			config: {
			compliments: {
				morning: [
					"bla bla bla",
					"bla bla bla"
				],
				afternoon: [
					"bla bla bla",
					"bla bla bla"
					],
				evening: [
					"bla bla bla",
					"bla bla bla"
					]
			},
			updateInterval: 30000,
			remoteFile: null,
			fadeSpeed: 4000,
			morningStartTime: 3,
			morningEndTime: 12,
			afternoonStartTime: 12,
			afternoonEndTime: 17
		}
	},

Or, use a remote file (as per the compliments readme) so as not to encumber the config.js file with a lengthy entry.

OR just use another module…

@thestigh I’ll try this. It looks different then what is supplied by MM. I think i have the syntax wrong and haven’t learned yet how to do the coding. Thanks.

@dgregory19 As @Mykle1 stated, there is another way.

Personally, I prefer to have all custom configurations in one single file config.js and all custom css in the custom.css, by this I can add/remove/replicate configurations/modules installed from device to device. Makes it easy to backup

Another tip;
Above each module in config.js, you can add disabled: false / true, to temporarily make a module not load on MM. Like this:

		{
			disabled: false,
			module: 'MMM-Remote-Control'
		},

If you need anymore help, please let me know.
