Do you plan to add more sources manually?

Currently there are only the top-headlines implemented. Which is good enough.
But, i would like to add some more (from the newsapi page) like wired or TechCrunch.

edit:
ok after testing i really would like to add the sources in an array maually if possible, since there are the very unuseful BILD news in the top-headlines.

And some cosmetics stuff: the date stuff “1hour ago” and so on i static and not translated.
No problem for me, just for the notes ;)

Thanks for the module.

@justjim1220 Well because the wunderground key isn’t good for anything else so may as well try it here LOL

Hi I am new to this and I did so I think all that is to be done and it still do not work tell me to config.js file

                 {
                         module: 'MMM-Jnews'
                             config: {
	                             apiKey: "my api", 
                                     image : true, [default is false, Raspberry Pi's don't like the images]
                                     rotateInterval: 25 * 1000 [This is default set to 25 seconds, you can change this if you'd like]
                        }
                 }, 
                 {  
                         module: 'MMM-MovieListings',
                                position: 'top_center',   // This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or$
                                config: {
					apiKey: 'de1d0b92bb87bncbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb9f7a57b',
					region: 'US',
					language: 'EN',
					interface: 'poster', //'list', 'poster', 'detailed'
					includeMoviePlot: false,

OK first off you have to go to https://newsapi.org/ and get your api key…the key they give you has to go in between the quotes like this [for example]

apiKey : “aabjadjfadfas9adfajsdlfja”

The rest of the config should work for you as I’ve rewritten it… use the above example only go get the api and replace “my apikey” with “YOUR KEY” put in quotes that you get from the newsapi.org link :)

@cowboysdude

You know I just had to give you some sh** a little bit.

It is a nice module, as I suspected, no way to get local news without making some changes to your code.

I really like the set up though.

Great job! (as usual!) :grinning_face: :grinning_face: :grinning_face:

Yes it’s news from a bunch of different sources all brought together…

I’m getting just a little bit tired of all your success. ;-)

Great module. I like it. Question: Some lines of text consist of 3 lines and the next message is 4. As a result, the modules above will always jump “up and down”. Can you set the module to 4 lines and these automatically fill depending on the content? Do you understand what I want to express?

bhepler

@jeffreyking -
Just in case nobody else mentions it, you should delete the advice in the square brackets from your config.js file. The part that looks like this: [default is false, Raspberry Pi's don't like the images]

Delete in the part in the square brackets from the next line as well. They are commentary from the developer.

cowboysdude

@bjoern I do and I will look at it :)

cowboysdude

@bhepler Changed the README.md as this has happened more than once LOL

jeffreyking

All working now just had to place a position line in thanks you so much.

jeffreyking

How can I make the module larger thank you

cowboysdude

@jeffreyking add this to your custom.css file

       .MMM-Jnews .flex-item {
        font-size: 22px;  
          }

Make the font-size whatever you want :)

jeffreyking

Thank you what about the picture

cowboysdude

@jeffreyking

custom.css

  .MMM-Jnews .image {
width:  90%;
height:  90%;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #92a8d1;
  }

Be careful with that as the space provided will over write your text…so just trial and error.

darbos

This is nice! Thank you!

Quick question regarding your note on your github page. Ive only had a mirror for maybe 2 weeks, its running on a pi 3b+. I have a good amount of moduiles, but not all showing all the time and my pi sits around 55-60c .

Would it be better to run the magic mirror software on an ubuntu vm and just use fullpageos or something similar on the pi? Im not sure if that would take most the processing away from the pi or not?

Thanks

cowboysdude

@darbos mine runs on a mini itx board so I can pretty much do what I want.

If you want the basic MM then the PI is fine but if you want more you have to think bigger. ;)
