@anhanyoung said in CANNOT ADD MODULES:

when I change it in the config, do I have to change it in the module folder as well? Adding more compliments and such?

No, you only need to change it in the config.js, or in the external json. The module file contains default values that will be overwritten by the values in the config.js or external files (e.g. for compliments)

@anhanyoung Every module is designed in a way that you don’t have to mess with the module files (MMM-*.js, node_helper.js) themselves.
Otherwise, if you’re not common with git, you will run into problems as soon as you want/need to update the module.
So always try to use config/config.js, css/customs.css or external files for tpurposes like these. In most caeses it’s described in the Readme of the config or here in the forum.

You’re full of valuable links!!! :-)

@yawns said in CANNOT ADD MODULES:

I prefer jshint.com

This really is way better! Great! Doesn’t complain about tabs for indentation which is annoying with the other tool.

Der nächste Versuch wäre den MagicMirror im dev mode zu starten und zu schauen ob du eine Meldung zu dem Modul bekommst.

npm start dev

Wenn du den Autostart via pm2 aktiviert hast musst du vorher den pm2 Prozess stoppen

pm2 stop all
npm start dev

@binog said in Deutsche Anleitung MagicMirror auf RaspberryPi 3:

und meine config.js:
{
module: ‘compliments’,
position: ‘top_center’,
config: {.
remoteFile: ‘custom_compliments.json’,
//remoteFile: ‘http://i.p./default/compliments/custom_compliments.json’,
},
},

Was macht der Punkt hinter config? Der muss weg.

Where are the promised logs? :-)
If you want help you need to include more information

and your indentation is messed up making it more difficult to find errors.
You may have too much curled brackets.

Try finding errors with

npm run config:check

to find errors in the config.

You can also use online tools like jslint.com (past your code there)

You need to remove commas in line 19 and 54
and need to add one in line 59.

…and maybe even more.

@yawns my google stream gave me the same article on top of the stream.
Wondering why…:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@binog Meine liegt auch im gleichen Ordner und wird genutzt wie @yawns das beschrieben hat

        {
        //disabled: true,
        module: "compliments",
        position: "lower_third",
        config: {
            classes: 'medium bright',
            remoteFile: 'stromberg.json',
            updateInterval: 12*60*60*1000,
        }
    },

die json sieht so aus

{
    "anytime" : [
    "....",
    "....",
    ]
}

(ja, es sind Stromberg-Zitate)

@richard238 Did you mean the other way around?
Like “MM says your MMM-EventHorizon is 27 commits behind”

Then go into modules/MMM-EventHorizon
and do a

git pull
npm install

You need to update the module (or better, the git repository) that is mentioned in the header. For that you need to go into the module folder and do above.
Every 3rd party module is it’s own repository and needs to be maintained on its own.

@justjim1220 So would you mind posting the link you used to help out your nederlandse vriend? :-)

There is a problem with the link. There is no source with an id of “ad”. What newspaper do you want to show?

Also: Better to hide your api key which is shown above.

And also: Thanks for the link to the newsapi site! Great source!

@ultimatum22 said in Attempting To Update:

Those files should really be in a .gitignore file but that is another issues.

So why aren’t we putting them in? I still don’t really know what their purpose is.

@sdetweil Thanks for sharing!!
I’ll try that out with the rain-forecast module

@bolish I 'm just seeing that dateheaders does not show today for today and tomorrow for tomorrow.
But I want to have it in there, so I’ll create a PR for the next version.
If you like, I could give you the code amendments here to implement for your own calendar until then

Well if you take the “date headers” option and play with urgency, get Relative and some other config options, the mirror should show you
TODAY
appointments
TOMORROW
appointments

and then the rest of the dates.
WOuld that be sufficient?

@sdetweil Looking good! How did you realize it? MMM-Chart? Chartjs and your own module?
