@litek all that doesn’t go in config.js
just a little section
{ module: "?????", position:"??!!!??", config :{ . . } }
see the topics on my signature below

Hi again !
can you add this in to config js for me :
so i can se how the file look like ?Here is an example of an entry in
config.js
{ module: "MMM-ImagesPhotos", position: "middle_center", config: { opacity: 0.9, animationSpeed: 500, updateInterval: 5000, } },
-
@litek well,
this is the end of the config.js file
{ module: "newsfeed", position: "bottom_bar", config: { feeds: [ { title: "New York Times", url: "https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml" } ], showSourceTitle: true, showPublishDate: true, broadcastNewsFeeds: true, broadcastNewsUpdates: true } }, ] // < ------- this is the end of the module list (the start is [ above };
so, you place your new module BEFORE the end of the list and AFTER the } of the prior module
{ module: "newsfeed", position: "bottom_bar", config: { feeds: [ { title: "New York Times", url: "https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml" } ], showSourceTitle: true, showPublishDate: true, broadcastNewsFeeds: true, broadcastNewsUpdates: true } }, // < --- end of prior module // new module goes here { module: "MMM-ImagesPhotos", position: "middle_center", config: { opacity: 0.9, animationSpeed: 500, updateInterval: 5000, } }, ] // < --- end of module list };
ALWAYS check to make sure end of prior module entry } ends with a comma (means more to follow)

Need some help
-
@litek cause u put it in the wrong place
-
Hi again !
Can you make the file for me and wherto so i will understand it ?Please
-
@litek no. I gave u the very detailed instructions
-
@litek Sam does not want to do all the work for you and I understand him.
You can see in the file a lot of module entries, and you need to put your module entry in like them.modules
is an array containing objects (if that does not ring a bell you should consider going a bit into javascript before moving much further).The structure of this array is like this:
modules: [ { module: '', position: '...', config: { ... }, }, { module: '', position: '...', config: { ... }, }, { module: '', position: '...', config: { ... }, } ]
You need to take care to use commas as seperators, IN an array or an object, semicolons are always misplaced.
Hope that helps. -
@lavolp3 I gave him exactly where
