      I’m very new to this and I’m running into trouble trying to resize my photos using the referenced module. I keep getting a syntax error when trying to enter in the maxWidth and maxHeight. What is the correct format I need to use if I’m trying to have my photos be 500px X 500px. Thank you!

          @bebetter14 can you show what you are trying ?

          general rule.

          if the thing to the right of : is
          a number 2, 7.5, 98.3456
          true/false

          no quotes

          otherwise requires quotes.
          500px, some street, hello

            @sdetweil For example;

            Ive used the same example in your Readme however just adding on the width and height.

            {
            	module: "MMM-ImagesPhotos",
            	position: "middle_center",
            	config: {
            		opacity: 0.9,
            		animationSpeed: 500,
            		updateInterval: 5000,
            		backgroundColor: 'grey', 
            		fill: false,  
            		blur: 10,   
            		sequential: false 
                            maxWidth: 500, 
                             maxHeight: 500,
            	}
            },
            

            If I remove the width and height, it works no problem. Thank you very much for helping me out!

                  @bebetter14 awesome

                  the error you saw was

                  unexpected token whatever

                  that is the first clue to look for a missing comma on the line before
