@sdetweil I think it must have been a script on the net. It was quite a long time ago, between 2022 and 2023. I honestly cannot remember. I found an old config.js from ‎06 ‎October ‎2023

@sdetweil said in Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module:

git status

junior@MAGIC-MIRROR:~ $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Config

You helped me on a while back

I used a fresh SD card for the reinstallation, but some of her modules are incompatible with the new setup. Consequently, my wife has firmly decided to stick with the current version until her modules stop functioning. Unfortunately, since one of the modules doesn’t work with the old MagicMirror version, I’m at an impasse. It is a pity, I wanted this as due to dyslexia, this would have been perfect for my situation

@sdetweil, I’m sorry. Can you please highlight where I have the error? I am considering reinstalling it as I cannot even update Magic Mirror. I want to back up Config.js, but if it contains faults, then I will be back to square one.
