Well I am kinda forced to collaborate if I want to use this awesome module . Right? :) LOL

My config.js does not work so I want to get it going so we can all use this module!

Here is my current config.js after renaming the module portion to MMM-DumpsterDay

{
	module:"MMM-DumpsterDay",
	position:"bottom_bar",
	config: {
		refreshInterval: 18000000, // Default: 18000000 = 5 hours
		pulse: true, 			   // Default: true - Makes the module pulsating

		enableBasic: true, 				// Enable basic trashcan 
		basicStartDate: "11.10.2019", 	// The first dumpster day (Always use 2 digit dates (01 instead of 1))
		basicDateDiff_1: 7,			// Trashday reoccurance - Default: 14 (every 14 days)
		basicNotifyDayBefore: true,		//Default: true - If you want the notification to appear also the day before the dumpster day
		
		enablePlastic: false,			// Same values as basic but for Plastic
		plasticStartDate: "16.01.2019", 
		plasticDateDiff_1: 28,
		plasticNotifyDayBefore: true,	

		enableLandscape: true,			// Same values as basic but for Landscape
		landscapeStartDate: "11.10.2019",
		landscapeDateDiff_1: 14,		
		landscapeNotifyDayBefore: true,
		}		
		},
		
		{
			module: "alert",
		},
		{
			module: "updatenotification",
			position: "top_bar"
		},
		{
			module: "clock",
			position: "top_left"
		},

I switched to the sub directory MagicMirror/modules and did a git clone git clone https://github.com/DeanoNoire/MMM-DumpsterDay.git

That created a directory named MMM-DumpsterDay with the files below that directory.

Then I added the code you posted to my MagicMirror/config/config.js file exactly as you posted. I found that there was a missing }, at the end of the code.

I modified the config.js to reflect today as trashday and launched Magic Mirror . Nothing was displayed onscreen.

Shoundlnt the config.js code for module be MMM-DumpsterDay
?

Also the code for the config.js appears to be missing

},

at the end.

Many of the other modules that are published use the following syntax to copy the files needed to the MagicMirror/modules directory.

git clone https://github.com/DeanoNoire/MMM-DumpsterDay.git

So perhaps it would be advantageous to add the following as the first step.

1. Navigate to the MagicMirror/modules sub-directory
2. Run the following command “git clone https://github.com/DeanoNoire/MMM-DumpsterDay.git” (this will copy the needed files into the sub-directory)

@Stoffbeuteluwe Its included within the trashcan.css file , but waiting on configuration options and how to setup.

@DeanoNoire

You are awesome! .
We will need a working config file with all the parameters listed so that it is apparent what settings control what features.

You can comment out the features using // backslashes as you know and add what they do to the right of the line or above it using // backslashes

Example :
//Line below this one controls the day that one sets to count from
//Line below this one controls pulsing or constant

etc…

Also is there the need to clone a module into the modules directory below MagicMirror/modules?

Specific instructions would be helpful to add to the git hub repository as there are alot of places where people can get hung up.

Questions that I have are where does one place the trashcan.css file? Where does one place the trashcan.js file?
Does one clone a directory into the MagicMirror/modules directory?
What does one add to the config.js file within MagicMirror/config?

Also you mis-spelled Dumpster again within the Noted files on the git hub repository.

Thanks for the quick work!

Let me know if you need assistance with writing the instructions and I can lend a hand if needed.

Cant Wait! With these changes I can then simply walk by my Magic Mirror on trash day and if I see one White Icon then its Trash “only” day. Or if I see a white Trash Icon and a Green Icon I will know I can put both Trash and Landscape out on the street. Saves me from having to consult a schedule that the trash provider sends us.
Maybe another option in code to change to constant or pulsing icons???

I think I may install this module as it sounds handy. Here we can only put out our Landscape cans every 2 weeks as they will not pick them up every week. I get confused sometimes as to which week it is “Landscape Week” or “Non-Landscape Week”. Would it be possible to alter the code to display a different style pulsing Icon for Landscape cans. Actually 2 Trash cans would be nice. One White for the regular trash can and one Green -signifying the color of the landscape can. If this is possible why not add an option to have all three colors represented.
White = Standard trash Can
Green=Landscape
Blue=Recycle

Oh, you misspelled Dumpster in the title of the post and spelled Dupster instead.

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

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

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

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?

Here it is

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules $ ls ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-darkSkyForecast
icons node_helper.js README.md
MMM-DarkSkyForecast.css node_modules skycons.js
MMM-DarkSkyForecast.js package.json
mmm-darksky-forecast.njk package-lock.json

ls results? You lost me there. ssh has been painfully slow when using Putty.

That killed the browser window I had open and then returned to the command prompt

@sdetweil

I ran the sudo killall chromium-browser and response was
chromium-browser : no process found

@sdetweil

Pinky Swear!

It did produce a directory with a lowercase d in the name.

Here is listing of the directories under modules

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules $ dir
default MMM-darkSkyForecast MMM-Remote-Control node_modules README.md
