Change Compliments

sdetweil

the thing is

{ 
    module:"name",
    position:"...",
    config: { 
        compliments: {
        }   //< ---- this brace is missing
    }
}

get bitvise ssh client, then u can have a file manager view from windows
and use notepad++ to edit  and see the  brace, paren and bracket matching

Forgive me for pursuing this, but I see an opportunity to really learn here. When I look at my code, I have closed all of my braces:

    },
			module: "compliments",
			position: "lower_third",
			config:  {  \\ open
				compliments: {  \\open
					anytime: ["Hey there Emma!"],
					morning: ["Good morning, Emma!", "Enjoy your day!", "How was your sleep?"],
					afternoon: ["Hello, Emma!", "You look beautiful!", "Looking good today!"],
					evening: ["Wow, you look great!", "You look nice!", "Hi, Emma!"],
					"....-01-01": ["Happy new year!"]
		}   \\close
	}, \\close
			module: "weather",

If I add another closing brace, won’t I have an error because there is no opening brace?

On the suggestion for bitvise ssh, I’m working directly off the pi itself. I would love to run the entire MM configuration in a vm until it is right and then simply copy that over to the pi, but that’s a bit beyond my knowledge level.

@cheapdad u are missing the open brace for the module block in this last picture (see my layout above)

if you use bitvise then u dont have to edit ON the pi keyboard…
also gives u an ssh window to execute commands, again NOT on the pi keyboard

u can run raspian x86 in a vm on pc…

I think I figured it out and see where I needed a third closing brace. The weird thing is that Compliments seems to be the only module that doesn’t start with an opening brace, where all the others appear to. If I add an opening brace to it, I get an error. If I leave it out, it runs.

@cheapdad EVERY module MUST start with an opening brace…

ignore any typos you find somewhere else…

see my module diagram above

@sdetweil Got it.
