It’s not my module, although I wish it were. A pretty swift piece of work. I thought this was a politics free zone, especially this topic which was published by the author for the purpose of announcing the module.
You can always fork the repo and make any changes and modifications that you like. :-)
@chaseb1357 said in I need help with editing configs (mainly the compliments):
Can someone explain to me how I go about doing this?
The readme for the compliments module has all the information you need. I suggest you read it. With that, here is one way of adding compliments, in your config entry. However, this way can make your config cumbersome, but it does work. The readme explains how to use a remote file so you don’t fill up your config with compliments.
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/develop/modules/default/compliments
And here is a config entry you can use. See how I added compliments to the file? Just follow that format and you’ll be fine.
{
module: "compliments",
position: "lower_third",
config: {
updateInterval: 5000,
fadeSpeed: 1000,
compliments: {
anytime: [
"Hey there sexy!",
"RTFM!",
"The readme will help!",
"Last one no comma"
],
morning: [
"Good morning, handsome!",
"Enjoy your day!",
"How was your sleep?",
"Last one no comma"
],
afternoon: [
"Hello, beauty!",
"You look sexy!",
"Looking good today!",
"Last one no comma"
],
evening: [
"Wow, you look hot!",
"You look nice!",
"Hi, sexy!",
"Add your own like this!",
"Watch your formatting!",
"Last one no comma"
]
}
}
},
You can copy and paste it and edit it if you like.
Then read the readme! ;-)
A new spin on the display and does allow for international ICAO’s.
https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-WISP
{
disabled: false,
module: "MMM-WISP",
position: "bottom_bar", // you could try top_bar and thirds
config: {
ICAO: "KJFK,EGLL,UUDD,EDDT,RJAA,ZBAA,LFPG,LIRF", // Not limited to 8 International ICAO's
colorCode: "Alternative", // Standard or Alternative
useHeader: false,
header: "",
maxWidth: "100%",
}
},
@mythr33kidz said in ***Noob Alert*** MagicMirror coding issues!!!:
the default weather app is not displaying on the screen at all (I’ve signed up for an API key via openweathermaps.org and also figured in my location ID) I’ve placed them both in the correct locations, but still no weather display.
I will test your config entry if you post it here using this guide.

there are several modules that I want to incorporate within the mirror but I’m not sure of how to install them either.
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4231/how-to-add-modules-for-absolute-beginners
last but not least, I would like to change the “NY Times” newsfeed to a more local feed, but really don’t know how to go about that either.
Do a google search for rss newsfeeds to find the feed that you want. You need the rss url to the feed. With that url you can replace the NY Times url or add it to your newsfeed module.
Again I appreciate all help that can be given! Thank you and I hope with your help, I’ll be able to present this present on time!
We’ll get you sorted. No worries.
Thanks. I really like this module alot. Very nice options and I love the mouse overs. Fantastic work! :thumbsup:
@flobbr said in Calendar displays time in 12h format, was 24:
Does anybody have a clue on this?
Quick fix is to edit this in the module.
Or move to the development branch
@MarkusBe said in Calendar times in 24 hour format?:
Any Ideas left, how to fix this?
Quick fix is to edit this in the module:
Or move to the developers branch of MM
In the time it takes to read these, you could be up and running. Or, you could continue the way you have been.

I’m not familiar with doing that through css but if you are interested, this module will do the trick without css manipulation.

However, if I were to guess, I would try the url like this, without the home/pi. Forgive me if that is incorrect.

in chrome browser
Try the F11 key, and F11 again to go back.
That should work.

I try this informaton next week.
Yes, those tutorials are excellent!

@johnnyboy said in Adding Modules:
First off, a massive shout out to Mykle1 for helping me to do in minutes, what took me many hours trying… Thanks a lot for that, much appreciated
You’re welcome buddy. It wasn’t very long ago that I was in the very same place that you are in now. Some very fine people helped me get under way, and continue to help me. I repay them by helping others, where and when I can. I can see you’re in very good hands with Strawberry 3.141 assisting you. He was, and still is, instrumental in helping me perfect my MM. I’ll help you with the easy stuff. He’ll handle the genius side of things. :smile:
Got a few spare SD cards so I installed a fresh new Jessie and MagicMirror-develop(which installed Electron 1.7.6). Well, I’m sad to report that Electron 1.7.6 gags on a default installation of MM. Using nmon for stats, Electron CPU usage soared over 225% every time there was a transition of both the Compliments module and the newsfeed module. When either made a transition by themselves, CPU usage was well over 140%. There was not much “at rest” time because newsfeed rotates pretty quickly by default. However, rare moments of “at rest” time showed near normal CPU usage of about 15%.
I did this as a test, to satisfy my own curiosity, because my Pi3 doesn’t have the issues discussed here. Using the same Pi3 that hosts my mirror, running Jessie and MM 2.1.0 and Electron 1.4.15, it performs amazingly well, with no outrageous CPU usage or heat issues (fan installed).
The same Pi3, with the newest develop installation of MM, which installs Electron 1.7.6, is hard pressed to handle the default of 4 modules adequately.
Needless to say, I’m going back to my original SD card, with Jessie, MM 2.1.0 and Electron 1.4.15
@StrikeBack83 said in Calendar overlapping problem:
Any idea?
Ok, remove that entry from your custom.css file altogether. Revert any changes you made regarding " supressing the symbol config" and add this to your calendar config entry"
displaySymbol: false,
It’s right there in the ReadMe file of the calendar module. 3rd entry, configuration options.

@Richard238 said in PM2 - how to access terminal?:
With PM2 installed, MM starts OK.
Ctrl+Q to access desktop, but PM2 kicks in, so how do you get access to the terminal, and desktop with PM2 running?!
Thank you.
You can either minimize the MM window by pressing your ALT key and then choose Minimize from the Menu Bar at the top, or, Choose Exit from the File Menu in the Menu Bar. Pressing Ctrl+M will Minimize your MM window, as well.
Now, with PM2 installed, it will relaunch the mirror. So, minimize the mirror first, and then type pm2 stop mm in your terminal so the mirror doesn’t relaunch. pm2 start mm to relaunch

There is a date issue with calendar module that has been discussed on the forum in a few topics. I think this one will help you find the answer you are looking for
