Adding Modules... Please Please advise

[yawns]

Not sure if this is the problem but the position for module WorldTides should be top_right and not top-right

That btw is my fault, a stupid typo in the readme :(

[A Former User]

ah, cool thanks, hopefully that’s all the problem is, :)

Is it due to not pasting the code like this

modules: [
{
module: ‘MMM-WorldTides’,
position: ‘top-right’,
config: {
longitude: ‘’, //longitude and latitude need to be written with . instead of ,
latitude: ‘’,
appid: ‘’ //appid needs to be requested from worldtides.info
}
}

I think the error is that the line

		module: 'alert',

has a trailing comma, it should read

		module: 'alert'

Thanks will check now.

Strange these modules have not been pre- code checked before uploading to GH…?

I’ve updated my script as been adding other modules, and getting errors or just “loading”…

have added /// pre module lines to highlight the ones that i am having issues with …

@wjdw87 you’re missing curly braces for config in the camera module

[A Former User]

Curley braces where sorry?

[KirAsh4]

Guys, use proper formatting for your code! (edited to add: when posting on the forums - not in your config files)

Block code is done with ```on a line by itself, then your code, and closed with another ``` on a line by itself again. This is not the same as an apostrophe! It’s called a 'back tick' or 'accent grave' and can be found to the left of the numerical number 1 at the top on a US keyboard. Please use it! It makes reading your config files a lot easier.

On non-US keyboards, um, its location will vary. You can also press and hold your ALT key, and using the numerical pad, enter 9 followed by 6, then let go of the ALT key. Repeat that three times and you get the three back ticks necessary.

@wjdw87 Why do you have the newsfeed module specified twice? You have:

{
	module: 'newsfeed',
	position: 'bottom_bar',
	config: {
		feeds: [
			{
				title: "Bloomberg Baby!",
				url: "https://www.bloomberg.com/feeds/podcasts/etf_report.xml"
			}
		],
		showSourceTitle: true,
		showPublishDate: true
	}
},
{
	module: 'newsfeed',
	position: 'bottom_bar',
	config: {
		feeds: [
			{
				tittle: "BBC Sci-Tech",
				url: "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/technology/rss.xml?edition=uk"
			}
		],
		showSourceTitle: true,
		showPublishDate: true
	}
},

Would it not make more sense to just put both feeds in the feed array?

{
    module: 'newsfeed',
    position: 'bottom_bar',
    config: {
        feeds: [
            {
                title: "Bloomberg Baby!",
                url: "https://www.bloomberg.com/feeds/podcasts/etf_report.xml"
            },
            {
                title: "BBC Sci-Tech",
		url: "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/technology/rss.xml?edition=uk"
            }
        ],
        showSourceTitle: true,
        showPublishDate: true
    }
}

(Also, you misspelled “title” in your second newsfeed. You have an extra “t”.)

you can add them to the same array?

[bhepler]

@wjdw87 Indeed, you can. The documentation for the newsfeed module gives a simple example.

[A Former User]

Ah cool, updated that, but still have issues around the modules i’ve /// out

much appreciated though!

[bhepler]

@wjdw87 Okay, I finally had some time so I looked at the file you linked.

As @strawberry-3-141 said, you have an issue on line 100, part of the configuration of the camera module. You have: config: selfieInterval: 3, // Time interval in seconds before the photo will be taken.

You need to follow the config key with a JSON object, designated by curly braces. So the camera module section should look like so:

{
	module: 'camera',
	position: 'top_center',
	config: {
		selfieInterval: 3    
		emailConfig: {
			service: 'gmail', 
			auth: {
				user: '<xxx@xxx.com>',
				pass: '<xxx>' 
				},
			},
		}
	},

It doesn’t help that the config section is wrong in the README.MD in the camera module. I’ll see if I can’t get a PR to fix that.
