    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 ;)

      “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.”

          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.

            @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.

              I’ve tried updating, installing, you name it.
              npm install electron
              npm install
              etc. :/

                electron is not installed… i had an issue as well so I just reinstalled the mirror… that fixed the electron issues.

                  Ugh, I think i found it. You need to do npm install as root…

                  Wait, nope!

                  pi@Pi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo npm install
                  
                  > electron@1.6.6 postinstall /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron
                  > node install.js
                  
                  /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/install.js:47
                    throw err
                    ^
                  
                  Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/resources'

                      Hey mate, I think I have a bug for you. :bug:

                      In MMM-PNews.js you hard code in the sorting method (latest) for the source.

                      this.url = "https://newsapi.org/v1/articles?source=" + this.config.newsSource + "&sortBy=Latest&apiKey=";
                      

                      Latest isn’t a valid sorting method for some sources.
                      Example is the https://newsapi.org/abc-news-au-api

                      If you hit that with the url they provide with Latest in there for sorting, it fails and gives

                      {"status":"error","code":"sourceUnavailableSortedBy","message":"The news source you've selected (abc-news-au) isn't available sorted by latest"}
                      

                      But if you change Latest to Top in the url, works fine. :)

                      This is causing some feeds to not work.
