@sdetweil said in Any Horoscope modules that work?:

@pingywon what does broken mean. a little more info please

@sdetweil Or anyone… can someone confirm the module is still working? or is it broken for everyone?

@sdetweil the module loads properly but the horoscope just shows

[]

instead of the text of the actual horoscope

I removed the whole module and “re-cloned” it but its still just showing [] instead of text

@sdetweil … I spoke too soon. I had MMM-Astrology working just fine and then started playing with a bunch of other stuff and now its broken…either I broke it or it just happen to break 4 days after I got it working. Can anyone help or confirm?

Here is my config block for it. look ok?

{
            module: 'MMM-Astrology',
            disabled: false,
            position: 'bottom_right',
            config: {
                starSigns: ["gemini"],
                hScope: "daily",
                tcolor: "white"
            }
        },

Any help would be great…the Gemini in my house NEEDS her horiscope. :)

@sdetweil This helped a lot, I was still having some issues, but I was able to get MMM-Astrology working correctly.

Thank you once again for the help.

Both:
https://github.com/cowboysdude/MMM-Astrology
and
https://github.com/morozgrafix/MMM-horoscope

are very broken.

Can anyone fix them or is there any other Astrology modules that actually do work?

I had an old MM running for years with old software and the Astrology one worked. I wiped everything and updated to the latest and greatest and now neither one will work and im not sure why.

HALP! :)

@andzie82 I am getting this same error…came here looking for help. Following.

@nimbus78 yes. Assuming you are in Windows… download notepad++. It’s free. Once you have it open go to the plug in manager and search for java or jscript plug ins. I can not think of the one that I really like at the moment but you can then copy your config to your windows box. Hit one button and it will line everything up nice and clean jscript format. It will make looking at your config a lot easier. From there it will also tell you if you are forgetting a comma or curly bracket as you add modules to your config.

Use winscp to copy the config to/from your pi.

Also. Once you have a good workin config and you wanna play with a new module. Make a back up first so that if it doesn’t work out or you are frustrated you can “restore the back up”

On the pi command line to create a back up.

Navigate to the die with your config:

cp config.filename backupfile.name

cp is the copy command and it works as “from” and then “to”

If you ever need to restore:

cp backupfile.name config.filename.

Reload and you are safely back where you started before screwing with your config.

Hopefully some of this helps you.

install the MMM-Admin module. It will serve up a webpage and you can control the HDMI from there…even use it on your phone. works well

looking good!

inside the modules dir there is a “default” dir. ;)

that is where they are all at.
