Why do the manual installation instructions direct the user to install the latest version 10.x of node when "npm does not support Node.js v10.15.2"?

For a noob, trying to follow these instructions in 2020, they are completely unusable and lead to a dead-end

add this info to docs from forums:

In case one wants to know where the various regions are. Missing are the fullscreen_below and fullscreen_above as those cover the whole screen, one under everything else and the other above.

top_bar and bottom_bar are light gray
top_left and bottom_left are red
top_center and bottom_center are blue
top_right and bottom_right are green
upper_third is yellow
middle_center is cyan
lower_third is magenta

All these regions will resize as needed.

Hi,

I'm new to the MagicMirror community. I was reading the docs and got confused by line 115 in node_helper.md

It stated the following:
"If you want to send a notification to all your modules, use the sendSocketNotification(notification, payload)"

Doesn't sendNotification(notification, payload) send notifications to all modules and sendSocketNotification(notification, payload) send notifications between node_helper.js and your module?

Thanks!

the fielddname for the Api Key is changed and gives problems while migrating from the previous version

On https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/weather.html, in the Configuration Options section, under 'UK Met Office (ukmetoffice) options', for the 'apiBase' config option, the 'possible value' displayed is not correct.

The URL displayed starts with https, when it should be http. Using https results in a CORS error, whilst using http results in the weather being displayed as it should.

Note that corroberating information can be found in the overview section at: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/services/data/datapoint/api-reference

Platform: Raspberry Pi 4
Node Version: 20.0.0
MagicMirror² Version: 2.25.0
My Working Configuration:

{
		module: "weather",
		position: "top_right",
		config: {
				apiBase: "http://datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/val/wxfcs/all/json/",
				locationID: 324240,
				apiKey: "SENSITIVE INFO REMOVED",
				weatherProvider: "ukmetoffice",
				type: "daily",
				roundTemp: true,
				degreeLabel: true,
				updateInterval: 21600000, // 21600000 = 6 hours
				showPrecipitationProbability: true
		}
}

Hi,

I am new to the MagicMirror with limited coding back ground.
My Weather forcat module is showing only 2 day's forcast irrespectve of the value set in 'maxNumberofDays'

The Module was working perfectly before I updated the latest MagicMirror Version.

Needed after MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror#2964 got merged

Hi!

I haven't tried to change It, because i don't know how...:

In the Documentation of the Weather Module in "WindUnits" it seems to be the wrong units declared: Fahrenheit and Celsius... ?

Can anyone fix it?

Greetings

defaultSymbol links to https://fontawesome.io/icons/ which gives page not found error.
Also, latest MM update (Apr '22) changes fa library version, possibly causing icons to no longer load.
e.g., fa-calendar-check-o (fa v4) no longer works.
Backward compatibility ought to be implemented to accommodate older fa library versions.
Instructions need to be fa library version specific.

you cannot do multi instance with the config.env file as the name is hard coded.

the doc needs to restore the MM_ env vars approach (as well as the config.env approach)

• enter some text beside the magnifying glass symbol
• press enter
• nothing happens

Was poking around the documentation and noticed a broken link:

Starting at https://docs.magicmirror.builders/development/core-module-file.html#this-updatedom-speed-options

if you click on animate guide in the table, it'll go to https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/animate#animatein or https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/animate#animateout and report "No input file specified"

@rejas Somehow the one embedded image in the page didn't get it to the docs.magicmirror website on pull #220 - can you check it out - It's optional, but useful. If it can't be there, go ahead and remove the image tag and redo.

The recent issue with misquoting how to use an environment variable makes me curious - what variables are available, and how are they used? I'd like to develop out documentation on how to use them, etc. I've been thinking of working on the documentation somewhat, and this seems like a good place to start.

Is rasppi 4 supported?

The doc page of the calendar module doesn't contain/explain the 'header' option.
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/calendar.html#configuration-options

Update: Sorry! 'header' is a general option.

getting-started/requirements.md doesn’t mention the pi 4

Could you provide some details or resources as to what will be required on hardware side to achieve this.
For eg. i had to google a lot to understand that ill need some sort of display, a two way mirror, maybe a window frame and ofcourse a rasberry pie which you already mentioned.

@rejas: it's me or you forget to push develop branch ?

Needed after MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror#3033 got merged

No, no I don't forget !

I have to write 2 news Docs for v2.26

Hi my newsfeed module worked brilliantly for the last two years. I just updated my MagicMirror without editing the config.js and now I bump into problems....

Setup: Mirror has 2 newsfeed bars (one for MAJOR events in my case NL-alert and amber-alert. This bar is setup to only show for 1 hour if something serious is going on locally. The second newsfeed bar has "regular" news. The RSS still work, but I prefer my mirror nice and tidy. So just the headlines and no description. Below is the config.js and a screenshot....

It seems bar 1 does not listen to "hideLoading" anymore.
Bar 2 seems not to listen to "showDescription"=false Although I admit I added that line in the config.
Id just like the headlines and not the newsarticle description with it.

Could anyone help please? pretty please with cherry on top. Updated via git pull && npm install.

After a deep-dive into the weathergov.js weather provider script, I believe the documentation needs to be updated...

https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/weather.html#configuration-options

Under "Weather.gov options"

weathergov.js no longer uses the weatherEndpoint configuration setting as the docs suggest. This option should be deleted from the documentation.
