I just installed the cron-plus module and it showed up for me - so something strange must have happened with your install.

Have you restarted Node-RED since installing?

Have you checked the log for any errors relating to the cron-plus module?

How do you run Node-RED? The log is the output from the node-red command itself.

And also please post the startup log messages so that we can see what versions of Node-RED and Node.js you are using.

Can you also please check the file `~/.node-red/package.json` to see whether the node is listed there correctly in the dependencies section. You might also check to see if the folder `~/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-cron-plus/` exists and has content.

Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.

If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials  
file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter  
your credentials.

## You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

Hmmmm strange. Perhaps this is a node 12 / cron-plus issue?

@knolleary on the system you installed cron-plus, was node V12 installed?

@DemonKing did you check see if `node-red-contrib-cron-plus` exists in  
`\Users\abc\.node-red\node_modules` as @TotallyInformation suggested?

I just installed on a brand new install of Debian Buster on an old Lenovo X240 laptop that is destined to replace my 2 Pi's.

Node.js v12.15.0, Node-RED installed using my alternate installer - cron-plus appeared in the palette as expected.

What browser are you using in the two cases?  
Can you post a screen shot showing it disabled?

Well there is a slight problem in that cron+ has some ES6 code in it that IE11 cannot understand.

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/7/d/7d12bdcabc484417fa107d7fd6fe880c87b3bf4e.png)

I tried replacing those but clearly that isn't the whole problem.

* * *

Also noticed in the GitHub Master branch version:

cron-plus **loads a css and a js file from an external website** - this should be allowed to fail gracefully since not everyone will allow external access from Node-RED (sorry not tested it so I don't know for sure whether it already fails gracefully).

> "CARTO.js sends all requests to the [carto.com](http://carto.com) domain by default."

Really, this needs to be highlighted in your docs if it isn't already as it could represent a security/privacy issue for some folk, especially if working commercially.

Hi Julian, would you be so kind as to point out the ES6 code please? I will rectify that.

Again, could you point this out? I was very mindful of not using cdns or external sources but if I've messed up or missed something, please show me where.

Cheers.
