Positions not working

[Joshsamuel]

@sdetweil Just did that, still haven’t got position working

[sdetweil]

@Joshsamuel did u examine the error in index.html as suggested>

what does the log look like, both the console log (or pm2 logs --lines=100)
and the developer window console?

you have broken code, so nothing will be working right

@Joshsamuel

npm ERR! Error: EACCES: permission denied, access ‘/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/graceful-fs’
npm ERR! { [Error: EACCES: permission denied, access ‘/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/graceful-fs’]

npm itself is often installed with sudo priviledge (like here, hence “permission denied”).
Therefore you’d need to do sudo npm install -g npm

By the way, the regions are:

top_bar
bottom_bar
top_left
bottom_left
top_center
bottom_center
top_right
bottom_right
upper_third
lower_third
middle_center
fullscreen_above
fullscreen_below

@lavolp3 I ran the npm install in the MM directory and the update, no error messages this time, but position still doesn’t work

Hi all, just realised that the positions are working for me but the specific module (MMM-ATM which supposedly works well anywhere) has issues when placed in the middle.

Moving the news bar and other modules to lower_third or middle_center works fine, definitely should’ve tested this from the beginning.

Thanks for all the help from everyone!

@Joshsamuel glad you got it fixed.
