    • RE: Weather module works for current, shows 'loading' for forecast

      @sdetweil Still not working.Any suggestions how I might troubleshoot this?

      I found this in the log:

      Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 (Unauthorized)

      A very long url to openweather is included.

      I tried using the ‘current’ apikey for forecast, the error disappeared, but still no display.

    • RE: Weather module works for current, shows 'loading' for forecast

      @sdetweil This is the closest thing I can find reporting as an error. However, I commented out the forecast module, and this error is still reported.

    • RE: Weather module works for current, shows 'loading' for forecast

      @sdetweil I created a new api key, and also commented out the ‘current’ module and no change. I brought up the console, but frankly I don’t know what I’m looking for.

    • Weather module works for current, shows 'loading' for forecast

      Strangest thing. I copy / pasted the code and changed it from current to forecast, but now forecast won’t load. (apikey truncated)

      	```
      

      {
      module: “weather”,
      // https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/currentweather.html#using-the-module
      position: “top_right”,
      config: {
      type: ‘current’,
      locationID: “6183235”,
      timeFormat: 12,
      roundTemp: true,
      apiKey: “4cb7ea4dfe63102a5735”
      }
      },
      {
      module: “weather”,
      // https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/currentweather.html#using-the-module
      position: “top_right”,

    • MMM-BackgroundSlideshow just shows black screen

      To start, I just copy/pasted the code directly from the page. I have checked and I have the sample images in the folder. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

      var config = {
      	address: "localhost", // Address to listen on, can be:
      	                      // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
      	                      // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
      	                      // - "", "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
      	                      // Default, when address config is left out, is "localhost"
      	port: 8080,
      	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
      	                                                       // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :

      @sdetweil Thanks Sam. There are actually two update scripts on that page. Can I assume either one is fine?

      I changed slotTitle to a single space instead of null, and the duplicate days are now missing. I still have some strangeness for the first displayed slot and the first of the month. Any suggestions?

    • SlotTitle Date formatting with CalendarExt2

      Format is pretty close to what I’m looking for, but the first row has the day name twice, and something weird is happening to November 11, as you can see in the picture.

      link text

      Any suggestions as to what I should change in the View to make each day look the same?

      views: [
      				{
      					Name: "Rentals",
      					title: "BNC Rentals",
      					mode: "week",			
      					position: "fullscreen_above",
      					calendars: ["BNC Rentals"],
      					useEventTimeRelative: true,
      					slotCount: 3,
      					slotMaxHeight: "175px", 
      					slotTitle: "",
      					slotSubTitle: "",
      					slotTitleFormat: "ddd MMM/DD",
      					maxItems: 200,
      					hideOverflow: false,

      @Sean I’d like to be able show 4 rows instead of 3. There is a considerable amount of unused space at the top of the monitor, so I’d like to reduce (remove) this margin at the top.

      I hope I’m making sense.

      @Sean Thanks for your reply Sean. I’ve tried both fullscreen_below and fullscreen_above and both have an identical look. Any other suggestions how to remove the blank margin at the top?

      If I change slotcount from 3 to 4, the first couple of lines from the top are chopped off.

      ```

    • Maximizing Screen Use with MMM-CalendarExt2 and Custom.css

      I am a complete noob with css, so please be kind. I am trying to move the calendar entries up to possibly show a fourth row. What I have so far is this:

      My custom.css file looks like:

      margin: 40px;
      height: calc(100% - 100px);
      width: calc(100% - 30px);
      }

      Any changes I make to height/width don’t seem to affect the calendar display. Can someone give me some guidance how I maximize the screen usage?
