It would be great if one could add disabled: true to a modules dictionary to disable it without removing its configs. What do you think?

Server outage and database restore
Hello everyone!
We are very sorry for the outage. I had torebootthe server, problem is it never came back online. We now have migrated the forum to a dedicated server only used formagicmirror.builderssadly we still don’t have access to the old one which is why we decided to use a backup from last night so we can get the forum up again as quickly as possible, because of that any post published after the last backup (again last night) is sadly gone…If you signed up in that period we kindly ask you to register again. We will do anything in our power to make sure this does not happen again…
Cheers and sorry again,
Paul
Update: The old server came back online and we restored the database! All posts and new users are now back :)
As a little bonus the forum might be faster now, because of the following reasons:
- We now use
nginxto serve static content instead of usingnodebb - We use
Redisto store session data (faster than MongoDB)
- We now use

We reached 100 users!
Looks like we reached our first milestone! @jreyes is our 100th user :smile:
It’s great to see so many MagicMirror enthusiasts discussing their passion for the project and what it should become in the future! -
RE: How to manually download and use font-awesome icons, for offline operation.
Font Awesome is already part of the package. No need to load it externally.

RE: Alot of SPAM lately on this forum!
We already used
nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gonefor Googles reCAPTCHA but that did not help as it seems…I enabled Akismet again (disabled because it stopped some people from posting legit stuff). It should prevent most of the SPAM for now but some people might run into issues, let me know if you do!
Email verification was already enabled but I will check whether it really works.

RE: Alot of SPAM lately on this forum!
@yawns Mhh admin panel says “email verification required” will check if there is a second option somewhere…

Wunderlist - your todos on the mirror
With MMM-Wunderlist you can add one or more widgets to your mirror displaying as many different todo-lists from Wunderlist as you like. Of course you are not limited to one list per widget, since the module can combine them for you.

If you have any questions or requests for future versions, don’t hesitate to ask!

RE: Usind date from one module to another
Not sure if important but should we start thinking about privacy? A malicious module would get all information from any module that broadcasts its data.

RE: Introduce yourself!
Good idea! Nice to get to know the people behind the GitHub comments a bit. Will add mine as soon as I finished the housing of my mirror :smile:
EDIT: Just noticed this is not in the show your mirror category, so I don’t actually have to finish my mirror for it :D Will add mine in a second :)

Would be great if you would upload your CSS to Github and share it here! :)

RE: Forum Errors....

RE: GPIO without root
Found a workaround! Use the shell within node to export the pins. Works without root if the user is added to the
gpio group, to do that executesudo useradd -g pi gpio.
Setup the pins
const exec = require('child_process').exec; exec("echo '22' > /sys/class/gpio/export", null); exec("echo 'in' > /sys/class/gpio/gpio22/direction", null); exec("echo '17' > /sys/class/gpio/export", null); exec("echo 'out' > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/direction", null);Control the pins
gpio.setup('sys'); gpio.wiringPiISR(22, gpio.INT_EDGE_BOTH, function(delta) { if (gpio.digitalRead(22) == 1) { console.log("High"); gpio.digitalWrite(17, 1) } else if (gpio.digitalRead(22) == 0) { console.log("Low"); gpio.digitalWrite(17, 0) } }); -
RE: Introduce yourself!
My name is Paul-Vincent Roll, I’m from Germany and currently 19 years old (doing my finals in school at the moment). I also happen to run a small business, which I try to maintain besides going to school. Mine is about videos though and not the kind of things we are doing here (can never really decide what I enjoy more… :sweat_smile:).
I love coding and building stuff but in most cases my coding work is sadly pretty much hacked together, still have to learn a lot of basic stuff but I will with time :slight_smile: I am currently planning to write an adventure game with a friend of mine, we’ll see how that goes.
Besides the “raw-computer” stuff I absolutely love (already said I can’t decide which one I enjoy more so it’s fine I use the same term again :smile:) crafting images and capturing moments with my camera, be it in video or still form.
You can find me on my blog, GitHub, Twitter, 500px, Vimeo and Instagram.
