MagicMirror Forum

[paviro]

@MichMich and I are currently setting up a forum for the MagicMirror community. What kind of categories would you guys like to see? Currently there are:

[KirAsh4]

In an attempt to avoid the General Discussion to become a catch-all for everything, how about adding categories such as 'Installation Troubleshooting', or maybe 'Troubleshooting' in general? I can see where someone who has just discovered the project would get to the forum, hit the General Discussion and get overwhelmed by folks having errors, install problems, and who knows what else. Maybe all they want to ask is something like 'will this run on such-n-such hardware?', or 'hey, I forked this, and here's my design'.

[paviro]

Just a quick update, this is how it looks right now 🙂 Is that what you had in mind, @KirAsh4? :)

[KirAsh4]

Yeah, that would make more sense. Over time you can see what's being used the most, and how, and perhaps consolidate things then. It's a start.

[MichMich]

I think that Core System Bug Reports should remain on Github. Otherwise we get two places were we should check stuff (and retrieve info about a bug).

[KirAsh4]

Agreed. One place to report, and resolve bugs.

[paviro]

Maybe lock it and add a post describing on how you should fill a bug report on GitHub?

[MichMich]

Yes, that would be a good way.

[Paule08]

hi . here is paul . paviro knows me as paul the nagger from his blog .😉
cool idea with the forum .

[paviro]

Alright guys 🙂 Check out the forum!

[MichMich]

Thanks for your hard work, @paviro!

[paviro]

You are welcome :) Hope it helps you to getting a bit less issues here!

[nhubbard]

I'll work on a gh-pages branch when I have time, and @paviro can add it to the domain as the root when done. Good work!

[paviro]

The domain is owned by @MichMich :) Talk to him for that matter.

[MichMich]

@nhubbard If it's sexy enough ... I'll link it to the domain! ;) Looking forward to your work.

[MichMich]

@paviro Wasn't it something you wanted to work on, too? Maybe you guys can collaborate?

[paviro]

Happy to hand that over, since I haven't started anything yet anyway :)

[KirAsh4]

Tried different browsers, same result:

[paviro]

Mhh strange... Will remove it for now give me a second :)

[paviro]

Go for it (should be back online any second)

[KirAsh4]

I know I've ran into captcha issues before when serving an httpS:// domain when the certificate wasn't valid ... which both browsers complained about (unknown issuer).

[paviro]

Mhh no problem about that with my browsers. Used letsencrypt.org for the certificates.

[KirAsh4]

Yep, I've used them too (still do in fact.)

[paviro]

Any idea why they are not yet in your browser? Which OS and browser are you using?

[KirAsh4]

Confirmation e-mail taking the long scenic route now ...

Eh, one's Firefox (46.0 which is latest), and the other is Chrome which is the latest as well. It just updated this morning. It's possible that I have a higher security setting too. I'm at the office and I run a (very) tight ship as far as security goes for the entire building. Part of my job. We got fined before for having lax security so that's not a scenario I'm willing to go through again. So yeah, don't worry too much about it, certainly not if others can register just fine.

[paviro]

Forum will be back shortly!

[paviro]

Sorry for the downtime. It's back :)

[paviro]

You can now use your GitHub Account for logging :)

[MichMich]

Is image uploading enabled?

[paviro]

Yes. Will check what the problem is. Can you send me the file via email so I can try with your header?

[GlenNicholls]

Hey, I´m not sure if this is the right place to ask this because I am navigating on my pi. Anyways, I am trying to get location for weather services modules to automatically find the pis location using google maps geolocation API. How do I go about adding this to the existing module? If I put in the url with the API inside the location field, will that return a usable lat/long coordinate that the code can use to send to OpenWeather?

[MichMich]

Please ask this question on http://forum.magicmirror.builders 👍🏻

I bought some glass samples, It was an one-way glass, like the interrogation room, but it's too darker than the normal glass, Can you give me some advice? about which glass is better? thanks a lot.

[MichMich]

@SouthDeer This GitHub issue is not a forum itself. Please check out this topic regarding your question: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/22/where-to-buy-good-two-way-mirrors

[martinross1984]

Hello,

Is MagicMirror2 supposed to work on a RPI 3 ? I have an issue related to electron that is not found.

Does it sound familiar to anyone ?

[MichMich]

@Corvis1984 Please check http://forum.magicmirror.builders for support.

[Anachor1988]

Hello!

i can't login to the forum, when i open the site it spams a "invaild session" message on the right side and when i wanna log in it says "Login Unsuccessful We were unable to log you in, likely due to an expired session. Please try again". Did i do anything wrong or what is the problem ?

Even on other devices and browser i get this errors. Account Name is "Anachor"

[paviro]

Does it work now?

[Anachor1988]

No :-( Got the same errors... "ERROR invalid-session" on the right side in a message box and the "Login Unsuccessful We were unable to log you in, likely due to an expired session. Please try again". Can't even make a new account, got the same errors... at home and even at work on phone, mac, pc and even raspberry :-/

When i click on a post or a category the system spams like hell the "ERROR invalid-session" Message.

[paviro]

Please clear your cookies so you have a fresh start after what I changed.

[Anachor1988]

That was the problem, now everything works great again! Thanks for your help :-)

[paviro]

Forum has a little outage, working on it :)

[paviro]

Back online, make sure to read: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/420/forum-outage-and-restore-from-backup :)

[KirAsh4]

Almost, but no cigar ... dead again.

[paviro]

Old Server just came back... Going to restore database.

[KirAsh4]

Put a leash on it ... it's not allowed to just go on a walk in the park like that.

[jtyle6]

I'm getting:

ERROR

invalid-session

From login with github.

[MichMich]

@jtyle6 did you remove your cookies yet?

[jtyle6]

It didn't work, I'm trying to login with the Alternative Logins.

I will try again tomorrow morning when mac is back on.

@MichMich I had Nuke my google chrome Cookes. 💣

On safari, You can murder one. /s

[berlincount]

Right now, I'm lacking a Confirmation Email to be able to use the Forum, after registering via Github.

Hmm.

I'm in Berlin with a 42" FullHD MagicTouchMirror, but would want a slightly different setup to what I've seen - I'd rather want to have something in the borders and corners instead of using screen real estate in the middle ...

[Jopyth]

It probably sends the confirmation Email to your non-reply @github email. That is what happened to me.

Go to your profile, and check what Email is here.

[MichMich]

@berlincount I've manually validated your account.

[geeflaxx]

apologize
