@sdetweil Is it possible for you to send me a picture of the .js file so I can double check?

sdetweil

@smart_user u can look on the github site

View code. Then click on file.

If you used git clone, then u can do

git diff node_helper.js
to see the differences

smart_user

@sdetweil Hello. I did and still am not receiving any alert on the screen

sdetweil

@smart_user show me the config block. Minimum is this. MUST have a position

{
     module:"SampleModule",
     position:"middle",
 },

A Former User

euh … position needed ONLY if you have to show something on the mirror (getDom).
If you have nothing to show THEN position is not needed

Note: verified in my lasted module (position is not needed because no visual)

sdetweil

@Bugsounet yes, my sample module DOES want to display something

smart_user

@sdetweil Yes! I missed adding the position to the config file. Just have another clarification. Can these messages show up for a few seconds then disappear and then appear again after 30 minutes? If so, how do I do that?

sdetweil

@smart_user sure. When u want the message to go away, set the string to empty, or not create any content in getDom()…

U would start a timer after u display the text, and the call updateDom() in the timer routine.

Wait, display. Wait. Remove output
Repeat

@sdetweil Hello, I am facing the same problem - and I want the same feature @smart_user mentioned. But I am sorry, I didn’t get the timer part. Which string are you talking about? and where will I add the updateDom()? Please help
