MMM-NewsAPI

[mumblebaj]

@swvalenti You can try this:

#NEWSAPI .footer {
    text-align: left;
}

@mumblebaj I’m trying to do something similar, but can’t quite get it to work.

I’ve got the module running in the centre bottom, and want to run it vertically rather than horizontally (so it’s more a block than a footer).
It’s almost there, except I can’t get the title to look right. Sometimes it’s OK (goes horizontally in a single line) but other times I get the text either going one word per line stacked vertically, or a block of the first few words like that and then the rest below in a correctly oriented line.

Is there anything I can adjust to make it work better and look right (all the title text going horizontally, line wrapped if it’s too long to fit)?

My config currently looks like this:

       {
            module: "MMM-NewsAPI",
            header: "News",
            position: "bottom_center",
            config: {
                    apiKey: "#########################",
                    type: "vertical",
                    choice: "everything",
                    pageSize: 20,
                    sortBy: "publishedAt",
                    drawInterval: 1000*30,
                    templateFile: "template.html",
                    fetchInterval: 1000*60*60,
                    query: {
                        country: "",
                        category: "",
                        q: "",
                        qInTitle: "",
                        sources: "",
                        domains: "bbc.co.uk",
                        excludeDomains: "",
                        language: ""
                        }
                    }
        },

and custom.css:

#NEWSAPI.vertical .header .title .content .footer {
    text-align: center;
}

Still it’s nice to have this module working in the UK again! :)

@DarrenHill Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Seems like the QR code is the culprit. Will advise once I get a chance to have a look and push a fix for it.

[mumblebaj]

@DarrenHill Have made some changes now.

Here with QACode:

And now without QRCODE

Will push the changes shortly

[mumblebaj]

@DarrenHill Changes have been pushed. You can update the module now.

[DarrenHill]

@mumblebaj - Thanks for the very fast response.

Will update and test.

All up and running - that’s a fix from my side :D
Thanks again for that.

Might have a play with the layout as the pics etc are a bit small (and there’s space to expand things around them in my layout), but I can handle that.

Hi, I have been running your MMM-News module for a couple years now. As of Sunday when my mirror restarted the module no longer shows up anymore. I tried to reinstall it and checked my sources in the config and nothing was altered.

Can you help me try and troubleshoot what could be happening? Let me know what I would need to provide to help. I’m not super savvy with this stuff, the mirror was actually built for me.

Thank you in advance.

what does that mean? we don’t have auto update as part of MagicMirror

@sdetweil
Sorry let me rephrase, I have the mirror auto restart every Sunday and I noticed that’s when the module disappeared. This is for the MMM-News module not sure if this thread is talking about a different one.

I’ve checked my API key which still seems to be valid when testing in a browser. I also deleted all my sources except 1, so I’m not really sure what happened?
