Sorry, I haven’t replied in like two weeks, but I ran into some major problems. My brother broke my HDMI cable while it was plugged into my monitor and I take to take off half the plastic to take the head out of the monitor. Then I had to put the plastic back on so it would fit in my frame again. I also had to order a new cable. But I’m here and ready to work on it thank you.

RE: Super nooby question- How to configure the downloaded modules and weather wont show up
@ghaal {
module: "currentweather", position: "top_right", config: { location: "Irvine", locationID: "5359777", appid: "ee6dbcc4823bb3f9a7f26c49fa64729c" } }, { module: "weatherforecast", position: "top_right", header: "Weather Forecast", config: { location: "BlahBlah", locationID: "####", appid: "blahblahblah" }
that’s a more accurate of focast and current, both don’t show on the magicmirror page. I made sure not to add extra spaces when removing my appid and location.

RE: Super nooby question- How to configure the downloaded modules and weather wont show up
@broberg I don’t get it. I have not copied any file into another one (does it automatically happen?) Should I copy this file? How? I have tried editing the regular config, and haven’t touched the sample one. Should I?

@Mykle1 I will, but I can’t do that until an hour or two

@Mykle1 I don’t have it and I don’t know what it is TBH. Is it an app or an online thing, or something integrated into this forum?

RE: Super nooby question- How to configure the downloaded modules and weather wont show up
@hartattack Okay, I got to the config folder. I saw all my modules there and I edited the weather modules so they have the location ID an appid and clock module so it has the 12 hour format, saved, and restarted my Pi. I turned on the Pi using:
pi@magicpi:~ $ cd MagicMirror/config
pi@magicpi:~/MagicMirror/config $ cp config.js.sample config.js
You can now try to start MagicMirror².pi@magicpi:~/MagicMirror/config $ cd $HOME/MagicMirror
pi@magicpi:~/MagicMirror $ npm startI got that code from: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial/6
When I turned it on though, none of the edits I made were showing. The weather wasn’t showing and the clock was still in 24 hour format. When I went to the config folder none of the previous edits were there.

Super nooby question- How to configure the downloaded modules and weather wont show up
Hello,
I am making a Magic Mirror as my first project with a Raspberry Pi and I have basically no prior knowledge of code, other than those code games and whatnot. I was able to successfully download the MagicMirror on my Raspberry Pi using the shortcut, but when I open up the MagicMirror page, the weather forecast and the current forecast don’t show up. Nothing shows up in that corner. I think I could fix it by adding their modules to my modules list. I also want to change the 24-hour clock format to a 12 hour one, but I don’t know haw to access my modules or where to add new ones. I read something about opening my config.js files or something, but I have no idea how. Sorry for the long post and probably lame question.
Thanks
Ghaal
