      Hey @ all,

      I´m a freshy at raspberrypi and I copied the “helloworld”-module to create a static-text-module with a name “MMM-static-text” just to avoid any problems in future if someone changes the “helloworld” for any reasons.
      I changed the names of the folder, files and within the file to “MMM-static-text”
      MMM-static-text.js:

      /* global Module */
      
      /* Magic Mirror
       * Module: MMM-static-text
       *
       * By Michael Teeuw http://michaelteeuw.nl
       * MIT Licensed.
       */
      
      Module.register("MMM-static-text",{
      
      	// Default module config.
      	config: {
      		text: "Wetterinformationen"
      	}
      });
      

      config.js:

      {	module: "MMM-static-text",
      			position: "top_right",
      			config:{
      				text: "Wetterinformationen"
      			}
      		},
      

      Unfortunatelly it doesn´t show “Wetterinformation”. Instead it shows “MMM-static-text” and below “module_4_MMM-static-text”. If I use the helloworld-module it is the same.
      What is wrong with my module?
      Thanks for any help.
      Best Regards
      Daniel

        Did you change all files in modules/default? Or did you create a folder MM-static-text in modules ?

          Hi @yawns

          I copied the complete helloworld-folder from modules/default to modules and renamed it to MMM-static-text.
          I renamed all files as well.
          This is the outcome…

            Ah, I see. The module is missing the code to actually display/do something, either directly or via template system.

            /* global Module */
            
            /* Magic Mirror
             * Module: MMM-static-text
             *
             * By Michael Teeuw http://michaelteeuw.nl
             * MIT Licensed.
             */
            
            Module.register("MMM-static-text",{
            
            	// Default module config.
            	defaults: {
            		text: "Wetterinformationen!"
            	},
            
            	// Override dom generator.
            	getDom: function() {
            		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
            		wrapper.innerHTML = this.config.text;
            		return wrapper;
            	}
            });

              Hi @yawns ,

              thanks a lot. This works fine after I copied your code into my file.
              Just typing the rest of the missing code does´nt worked. I had to copy the code.
              I assume a missing ; or ,.
              Anyway I fixed with your help.
              Thanks a lot!
