@Jopyth actually I was just trying to give @cowboysdude some crap. lol. Good idea though.

cowboysdude

NO FOX news… LOL

I like your module but I cant seem to get multiple feeds. I have also tried having 2 modules… one for the top bar and one for the bottom bar with 2 different sources. The result is both just showing one of the feeds. Is it possible with your module?

cowboysdude

@pheub Not setup to do that… LOL I can look at the possibility but it will be a while… :)

pheub

@cowboysdude well that’s good news and bad news! Glad I didnt miss something and was failing to catch it as well as sad to see it’s not currently a feature. Good to know on both accounts. Thank you for the reply!

cowboysdude

@pheub :)

Hey @cowboysdude, thanks for another great module!

You should update the readme with the correct link for cloning:

git clone https://github.com/cowboysdude/MMM-PNews.git

This will save precious seconds for us copy-pasters ;)

cowboysdude

@open_book Thank you!! Good catch!! :) Updated

DeanoAus

Can this be used with custom RSS feeds, rather than the repository?

cowboysdude

@DeanoAus If you can find a newsource that works with it sure.

@cowboysdude

Dude, you’re unstoppable! Nice work. :thumbsup:

DeanoAus

Hey quick question, can’t seem to run two copies of this module at the same time. They both get the feed source from the first one?

DeanoAus

If you can’t, can you run multiple sources on the one module? I tried comma seperated, but that loaded neither of them.

cowboysdude

No it wasn’t setup to run multiple instances. The mirror was setup for finite space so the majority of the modules haven’t been built to allow that :)

I will look into the possibility of multiple sources but it will be a bit as this is my busiest time of year at work and I am swamped at the moment.

DeanoAus

Not a problem - what about multiple sources?

If you do this in the config.js ---->

//newsSource:,

It will return news from ALL sources that’s the best I can do at the moment.

I answered the multiple sources question above ;)

There may be a quickie fix I can do if you tell me what you’re looking for…

business, entertainment, gaming, general, music, politics, science-and-nature, sport or technology.

DeanoAus

Ah, so you did! :D I read that as you’ll look into multiple instances. It’s late. ;)

All good my friend. I’ve somehow killed my MM install after an update.

cowboysdude

@DeanoAus OH mannnnnnn I hate that… I just redid my bathroom mirror as I killed that one too … I feel your pain.

It’s late for you, I just woke up LOL So let me know if there is a specific category you’re looking for or just taking out the newsource will work for you because if you do that it will return ALL news. :)

Future implementation will be different languages: en, de, fr

Was after one tech, one Australian news. And seeing as I can’t reply before 120 seconds… sigh… i’ll combine my replies.
