@Mykle1 oh right ok haha, in that case I think I’ll call it a night for now and get some sleep. You’ve been an absolutely great help, I hope I’ve not been to much trouble. I’m not sure what time it is there but you certainly deserve a drink. :-)

@Mykle1 Oh wow it’s working! :-) The time in the top right above the weather bit says 7.02am where the actual correct time on the left of the screen is 1.04am. Thanks I’m well pleased, its a start.

@Mykle1 ok I just thought it was a case of save the config.js and it would come up.
I’ll do that now

@Mykle1 you mean post the code from config.js?

@Mykle1 well I’ve done all you said, entered the locationID and put in the API KEY an it looks exactly like your code. I went to save it and the screen on my main screen where the mirror displayed the time, date and more just went blank.

@Mykle1 thanks you’ve a fantastic help. I’m trying it now but If I’m unable to do something like this. I don’t know how I’m going to be able to move forward, well I will just keep trying.

@Mykle1 ok thanks going there as we speak

@Mykle1 thanks that was what it looked like at the beginning and was not doing anything so I went ahead as suggested https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules/default/currentweather

To test things out and to get things working you mentioned I needed an api key. So I went to the section information in the module set up a copy and past there example presuming that would be a working one.

{
		module: "currentweather",
		position: "top_right",	// This can be any of the regions.
									// Best results in left or right regions.
		config: {
			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
			location: "Amsterdam,Netherlands",
			locationID: "", //Location ID from http://openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt
			appid: "abcde12345abcde12345abcde12345ab" //openweathermap.org API key.
		}

But unfortunately nothing happens, I thought if I was to simply post there code in replacement for mine to test it as above it would work. :-(

@Mykle1 Hi I tried yesterday and it did not work. I tried just now and it copied the code in replacement of the original current weather but it still did not work. please see below my config.js
