Cant figure out how to install a module in the config.js

[broberg]

@Edswald

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.

[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!

[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 :)
