Trouble With config file

[paddyhughes]

Hi I copied the sample config.js file and renamed it config.js

MM2 works with default locations and feeds… Alls good.

OK so my issues is always with the titles

Calender
url change is ok and MM2 displays from my location but once i change the
header: “US Holidays”, to header: “Irish Holidays”,
I get the message Please create a config file. so i change the header back to the US.

moving on to Weather forcast
Location ID change works and my Appid WORK.
But again change the Location: “New York” to Dublin i get that message again.

then in the news feed my URL works but change the title name and the same issues happens again

Thanks for all the help :)

@paddyhughes

Most likely you’re getting syntax errors because of a missing quote or incorrect quote, or missing comma when you make your changes. By this I mean that all quotes are not valid within the code. I noticed this in your example above. title: “RTE News”,. Those quotes are enough to make your config fail. They should look like this title: "RTE News",. It’s a small detail, but as you are finding out, a very important one.

I tried your Irish Holidays url and changed my header and it works fine. I’m sure this is where your problem lies. So, check your edits carefully for the proper syntax. :-)

Thanks Mike i am using CyberDuck on IMac when i do a live edit it changes the ‘’ to " for some reason thanks i would have not spotted that at all.

@paddyhughes

You’re welcome, mate. It’s common enough. Perhaps there’s an option within CyberDuck that will use the necessary quotes or maybe consider another text editor that doesn’t use them. There are plenty of free editors

Try Xcode ;)

In cyberduck do a right click and say “edit with --> Xcode”

For ssh i use “terminus”
