Edswald

ok so here how my config file looks like i blacked out my twitter info but i think its right i dont know and thanks for everyone how is helping me with this your awesome!!!

romain

@Edswald you didn’t put the module info at the right place and you missing

 ],
        paths: {
                modules: "modules",
                vendor: "vendor"
        }
}

just before the do not edit the line bellow.

Your file should look like this at the end

                {
                        module: "newsfeed",
                        position: "bottom_bar",
                        config: {
                                feeds: [
                                        {
                                                title: "New York Times",
                                                url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
                                        }
                                ],
                                showSourceTitle: true,
                                showPublishDate: true
                        }
                },
		{
			module: 'twitControl',
			position: 'top_left',
			config: {
				maxNumTweets: 5,
				streamType: 'followings',
				api_keys: {
					consumer_key: 'YOUR CONSUMER KEY',
					consumer_secret: 'YOUR CONSUMER SECRET',
					access_token_key: 'YOUR ACCESS TOKEN KEY',
					access_token_secret: 'YOUR ACCESS TOKEN SECRET'
				}
			}
		},
        ],
        paths: {
                modules: "modules",
                vendor: "vendor"
        }
}

/*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {module.exports = config;}

And for future reference, past the contents of the config in text format on the forum, it will be easier to see all of the config file then.

Edswald

@broberg is this right me an my team mate are here trying to see if we missed anything. Its still not running.

broberg

@Edswald post it as text. can’t help you with only a screenshot

You are using the wrong quotations,

you are using ’ when you should use '
and “ when you should use "

so first of change

ipWhitelist: [“127.0.0.1”, “::ffff:127.0.0.1”, “::1”], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses.

to

ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses.

and

{
module: ‘twitControl’,
position: ‘top_left’,
config: {
maxNumTweets: 5,
streamType: ‘followings’,
api_keys: {
consumer_key: ‘ ’,
consumer_secret: ‘ ’,
access_token_key: ‘ ’,
access_token_secret: ‘ ’
}
}
},

to

{
module: "twitControl",
position: "top_left",
config: {
maxNumTweets: 5,
streamType: 'followings',
api_keys: {
consumer_key: ' ' ,
consumer_secret: ' ',
access_token_key: ' ' ,
access_token_secret: ' '
}
}
},

And do edit your post above to remove your personal keys!

Edswald

broberg

broberg

@Edswald you have to place the modules within the brackets

If you go back to the picture where I marked that you should move two brackets you will see which ones I mean.

And when you post your config files delete your sensitiv data (like api-keyes)

Edswald

@broberg Ahhh i see what you mean thank you again :)
