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?

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.

/// as used instead of ``` as they crash my system (the modules) just blank screen, will be removed when the issue is resolved.

@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.
