Instructions are outdated

[gfmccutc77]

I am new to Magic Mirror and programming for that matter. I am looking to use Microsoft To Do for a chore list for my kids with Magic Mirror, however, as of June 30th, 2020 all of the instructions that I can find are outdated. We can no longer follow along to get the Client Id information to be able to display the correct list. Does anyone have a solution for this??

Can you tell me in which step (and share a screenshot) you struggle to obtain the Client ID? I just created a new registration and was able to obtain a client ID.
Thanks

After I sign into Microsoft Entra ID, I go to the App Registration page, click New Registration and I get told that I have to subscribe to Azure or join the Microsoft M365 Developer Program. I attempted both, the developer program wouldn't allow me to do anything and I don't see the need in paying for Azure if there are other ways to get around this issue. The problem that I am having is that I am new to all this, so my knowledge of any type of work around just isn't there yet.

The second one is where I got the date from in the original post. Do I need the Azure subscription to make this work??

Can you try to login at http://portal.azure.com with a personal live account created at https://signup.live.com/ ? I created different test accounts this way in the past without requiring a credit card, etc.

Ok, I got logged in, where would I go from there?? I went to create a resource, but I am not seeing anything that looks correct to me.

I just attempted to create a Web App resource and It is making me sign up for a free trial with a credit card verification that is only good for 30 days. Does the same thing when I try to create a Function App as well. Anything I click on I get the same response.

I ran into the same issue. What should we do after we log in to http://portal.azure.com/?

I've got the same issue. Any ideas on how to continue?

[thobach]

It seems you need to:

1. create an Azure Subscription at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/purchase-options/azure-account?icid=portal, where you need to provide your credit card details, and then
2. create an app registration at https://portal.azure.com/?quickstart=true&feature.tokencaching=true&feature.internalgraphapiversion=true#blade/Microsoft_AAD_RegisteredApps/ApplicationsListBlade following the details from https://github.com/thobach/MMM-MicrosoftToDo?tab=readme-ov-file#web-app-registration-client-id

Can someone please confirm this works for them?

[andrewtwist]

That does work. But, will this cause charges or is this covered under the free apps?

ok so having a m365 account is the basic part required.
Web access section steps 4 - 9 are different.

when trying to run the refresh token part within vscode's terminal i get an error:
_```

ok then.. don't run the token refresh in VScode.. just ran it in a different terminal (cmd prompt) and it worked.
