      Can you Zip up and upload your config file somewhere I can download it and I’ll take a look? Somewhere like pastebin.

        Hey @acdacd2, please use proper Markdown when posting code. It really isn’t that hard to do and it makes it so much easier and pleasant for others to read, and possibly find errors quicker. Specifically you need to use back ticks before and after your code:

             ```
             like so. Note that a back tick is not the same as the normal apostrophe, ` versus ' .
             ```

          @KirAsh4 can you confirm MM startup with my module with this config file?

          The module won’t show any results but MM should boot?

            The file ‘status.xml’ doesn’t exist on my system, so it gets a 404 returned, however it does load up, and it does work.

                Right, I have not tested this on an actual rpi … I’m at the office, so I’m running a serveronly setup. I can do an rpi test later, although I suspect it will still work, as opposed to resulting in a blank screen. It returns the error as expected when it can’t find the file.

                    @KirAsh4 I’ve isolated the issue as a Cross-Domain Access issue. Do you know of any particular way to make XMLHTTPRequests to external domains?

                    I wasn’t aware this would be an issue but apparently anybody who wants to use this and map to an external domain will have this issue unless they have a running PHP server that can store the XML results locally (or if they can access a server, they can add the line Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * to their HTML headers.

                    Any ideas?

                      XMLHTTPRequest. Look at how the 'currentweather' module does it in the 'updateWeather()' function.

                        Yeah that’s what I based my original request functionality on. The OpenWeather API response is CORS compatible due to the response header - this is why the example response works well. Outside of this domain though (say on http://www.w3schools.com/xml/cd_catalog.xml (or any other external server). This unfortunately makes problems - I’m still looking for a work-around.
