    @sdetweil
    I did, maybe I did not copy it correctly. I will check.
    So how do I start a new topic/question and get nice/helpful people like you to answer? I have a few questions on the Remote Control module configuration also.

        In the headder, I see: Unread, Recent, Tags, Unsolved, Solved, Users, Groups, Repository, Documents, Donate, Join Channel… I am sure it’s there, but I don’t see a New Topic, or create Topic button.

        Thank you for your help today, Sam! Greatly appreciate your time.
        Best regards,
        Frank

            @fsne04 if you check the code of MMM-Screent cast @ https://github.com/kevinatown/MMM-Screencast/blob/master/constants.js then there is no position which supports fullscreen_below.

            you need to set one of the below value as per documentation of the module

            const POSITIONS = {
              bottomRight: 'bottomRight',
              bottomCenter: 'bottomCenter',
              bottomLeft: 'bottomLeft',
              center: 'center', 
              topRight: 'topRight',
              topCenter: 'topCenter',
              topLeft: 'topLeft',
              top_bar: 'topRight',
              top_left: 'topLeft',
              top_center: 'topCenter',
              top_right: 'topRight',
              upper_third: 'topRight',
              middle_center: 'center',
              lower_third: 'bottomCenter',
              bottom_left: 'bottomLeft',
              bottom_center: 'bottomCenter',
              bottom_right: 'bottomRight',
              bottom_bar: 'bottomCenter'
            };

              @fsne04 Here it checks for the position value (edited my answer above).

                Hello guys. Absolute beginner in coding. I would like to make my own module with Flight prices.
                As default I will have:

                token: "MyToken",
                api_host: "travelpayouts-travelpayouts-flight-data-v1.p.rapidapi.com",
                api_key: "MyApiKey"
                

                And as options I will have:

                origin: "AAA",//Airport 3-Letter code
                currency: "EUR",
                depart_date: "2022-06-12",//format YYYY-MM-DD
                return_date: "2022-06-19",//format YYYY-MM-DD
                destination: "BBB"//Airport 3-Letter code
                

                Is there anyone who can create a right code (module) for this situation? If this is too stupid to ask, or if this already exists, please let me know :(

                  Hi! I know this thread is quite old, but since I’m a complete noob, and I’ve followed the specific guide I didn’t want to spam the forum with a new thread.

                  I’ve tried adding this basic module, but the effect is always that the MM wont start.

                  I’m on Windows 10 (using a Surface Pro 4).
                  I’m using Notepad++

                  With the default installation, MM works using a browser.

                  This is how my config looks after adding the Jeopardy module:

                  81c1f17a-e2e3-47bd-81ba-ba733cfddc81-image.png

                  This is the error output from CMD:

                  9eac89f3-dc6e-447d-b649-aa7e8da9ac18-image.png

                  What am I doing wrong?

                    @cgillinger this module suffers from this problem
                    https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later/1

                    but the output looks different so

                    go to the module folder and do

                    npm init -y
                    npm install request

                      @sdetweil Tnx, that did the trick. I imagine thats been a problem with other modules that I started with. I’ll try the same on them.

                      Cheers!
