Where to insert text?

norwestie

I’m trying to add some 3rd party modules to my MM. Many require text to be added to the config.js file. I tried but broke the config. I removed what I had pasted in and all is working now. I searched for the protocols for modifying the config but can’t find an answer. With all the {, ( ), ', " }, etc I need help. Where would I insert the following in the config.js file:
{
module: “MMM-quote-of-the-day”,
position: “lower_third”,
config: {
language: “en”,
updateInterval: “1d”
}
}

I used pm2 to autostart MM. Now I can’t get to the Pi desktop. I used pm2 stop mm then on the Pi command Q. MM disappeared for a few seconds but restarted right away. I rebooted and repeated but can’t get off MM

@norwestie alt-spacebar, n
to minimize, just like on windows.

pm2’s job is to keep the defined process running

pm2 stop all
once u get to the desktop

But… now i installed a couple modules, checking everything but MM is stuck ‘loading’. All that shows is the clock and weather and the header for Jeopardy. Where is my error? Below is what I have:

                },
                {
                        module: "weatherforecast",
                        position: "top_right",
                        header: "Weather Forecast",
                        config: {
