New module breaks magicmirror

[sharmstr]

The format of the config file is important. You’re probably missing a comma or something simple. Post your file (remove any sensitive info) and someone here will be able to help.

How to add modules!

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4231/how-to-add-modules-for-absolute-beginners

[tomamer]

I’ve removed the text from the top on this forum, not in the file, and blocked out appID’s or API’s or any of those.
It works fine with the default ones, but as soon as I add a new module, like MMM-LocalTransport I get the ‘Please Create a Config File’ error
I follow the installation guides and install dependencies…

	modules: [
		{
			module: "alert",
		},
		{
			module: "updatenotification",
			position: "top_bar"
		},
		{
			module: "clock",
			position: "top_left"
		},
		{
			module: "calendar",
			header: "Schedule",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				colored: true,
				fadePoint: 0.75,
				calendars: [
					{
						url: 'webcal://********************************',
						symbol: 'calendar'
					},
					{
						url: "webcal://********************************",
						symbol: "facebook-square",
						color: "#3b5998"
					},
					],
			}
		},
{
			module: 'MMM-LocalTransport',
			position: 'bottom_left',
		  	config: {
		    		api_key: '********************************',
		    		origin: 'Mortlake, London',
		    		destination: ‘Kingston, London'
		  	}
		},
//		{
//			module: "compliments",
//			position: "lower_third"
//			config: {
//				compliments: {
//						anytime: [
//							"Lookin' fresh!"
//						],
//						morning: [
//							"wa"
//						],
//			}
//		},
{
			module: "currentweather",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
				location: "Marlborough",
				locationID: "2643010",  //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt
				appid: "********************************"
			}
		},
		{
			module: "weatherforecast",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Weather Forecast",
			config: {
				location: "New York",
				locationID: "2643010",  //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt
				appid: "********************************"
			}
		},
		{
			module: "newsfeed",
			position: "bottom_bar",
			config: {
				feeds: [
					{
						title: "BBC News",
						url: "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml"
					}
				],
				showSourceTitle: true,
				showPublishDate: true
			}
		},
		
	]

};

if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}

Thank you for helping, much appreciated,

Look at this line: destination: ‘Kingston, London'

There is a wrong apostrophe before Kingston

@mykle1 Followed your tutorial and works fine, when I copy and paste the code from other modules it doesn’t work.

For instance, adding

{
            module: 'MMM-CountDown',
            config: {
                event: "New Millenium",
                date: "3000-01-01"
            }
        }

as per https://github.com/boazarad/MMM-CountDown breaks it
