    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 …

    var config = {

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

      Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

          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.

          A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

              /// 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”.)

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

                  you can add them to the same array?

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