Hi,
I am totally new to the programming world and was wondering if I could get some instruction on how to add compliments to magic mirror.
This is what i’ve got in my config file

{
        module: 'compliments',
        position: 'lower_third',
        config: {
                updateInterval: 30000,
                compliments: {
                        morning: [
                        'Good morning, sunshine!'
                                        ],
                        afternoon: [
                       'Looking good today!'
                                        ],
                        evening: [
                                'Wasn't the sunset beautiful?',
                                'You look nice!'
                                ]
                        }
                }
        },

Magic Mirror starts up fine but compliments never show, have I messed something up?
