MMM-Carousel not displaying

[pastormingle]

I’ve read through the documentation on the setting up MMM-Carousel but I can’t seem to get it to work…

 { 
                module: 'MMM-Carousel',
                config: {
                        transitionInterval: 10000,
                        ignoreModules: ['clock', 'alert'],
                        mode: 'slides',
                slides: [
                    ['helloworld','calendar'],
                    ['weatherforecast', 'MMM-Trello', 'planetrise', 'newsfeed'],
                    ['MMM-fitbit']
                ]
              }
},

@pastormingle Do you have MMM-Fitbit, etc as modules on your mirror?

[pastormingle]

@wenike I do not.

[Wenike]

@pastormingle Well, instead, I’d expect at least newsfeed, calendar, and helloworld (since that isn’t on the readme) to work as those are either default modules or one you likely added. But that lis:

                    ['helloworld','calendar'],
                    ['weatherforecast', 'MMM-Trello', 'planetrise', 'newsfeed'],
                    ['MMM-fitbit']

Only works with the names of the modules you have, so if you don’t have MMM-fitbit installed, calling it is pointless and nothing would display.

[pastormingle]

@wenike this is what i have in my config.js but it’s still not displaying.

                { 
                        module: 'MMM-Carousel',
                        config: {
                        transitionInterval: 10000,
                        ignoreModules: ['clock', 'alert'],
                        mode: 'slides',
                slides: [
                    ['helloworld','calendar'],
                    ['weatherforecast','weather'],
                    ]}
                },	 

[sdetweil]

@pastormingle do you have all those modules defined in your config.js?

helloworld is not usually there
weatherforecast isn’t used lately

MagicMirror can only show or hide modules. it does not dynamically load them

so whatever is enabled in config.js is used

carousel, like pages, face reco , profile switcher, etc, just degolines and idea for showing selected modules content.

pages and carousel ground them and display on demand (pages) or timed (carousel)
or some other trigger (face reco content by discovered user)

[pastormingle]

Heres my config…

@pastormingle but u don’t have calendar, altho u specified on a slide

and without carousel, all those modules display content, right?

open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, select the console tab and scroll up

u can also filter by module with unique part of name in filter field

car for example

[pastormingle]

@sdetweil i have a calendar listed but i have multiple calendars.

@pastormingle right_top and center_bottom are not positions on the mirror if I am not mistaken. See this link for more information regarding positions: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/286/regions

[pastormingle]

@mumblebaj So I’ve loaded the default config.js just to see if the course module is working at all. I’ve sent to use the global function and still, I see nothing changing on the screen.

MMM-Carousel

Just a silly question, when you installed the module. did you go into the MMM-Carousel folder and ran npm install?

[sdetweil]

@pastormingle @mumblebaj also see position here

https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/configuration.html

[pastormingle]

@mumblebaj said in MMM-Carousel not displaying:

npm install

not a silly question as it’s not in the install readme file…

Installation

Run these commands at the root of your magic mirror install.

cd modules
git clone https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-Carousel

Using the module

To use this module, add the following configuration block to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

[sdetweil]

@pastormingle doesn’t have a node helper, so doesn’t need an npm install

[mumblebaj]

@pastormingle Yes, you have to run nom install in the module folder. I saw that the module has a package.json with dependencies. I just installed it on my machine and it works. One thing to note, it only rotates modules that occupying the same position on the mirror. I have 2 modules that occupy the top_right position and those are rotating and the others remain unchanged when using the global config option.

[mumblebaj]

@sdetweil Hi Sam, For my understanding. What about dependencies in the package.json? If those are not default with MM then you have to run npm install I would think? Or is my understanding incorrect?

[pastormingle]

@mumblebaj do you have an example of your config?

[pastormingle]

@pastormingle I sent my weather module to use the same as the clock position but still nothing…

[mumblebaj]

@pastormingle I used one of the default.

            module: 'MMM-Carousel',
            config: {
                transitionInterval: 10000,
                ignoreModules: [],
                mode: 'positional',
                top_left: {enabled: true, ignoreModules: [], overrideTransitionInterval: 15000},
                top_right: {enabled: true, ignoreModules: ['currentweather']}
            }
        },

Just tested the Global option and it works fine and rotates all the modules one by one.
Here is the config for global

            module: 'MMM-Carousel',
            config: {
                transitionInterval: 10000,
                ignoreModules: ['clock'],
                mode: 'global'
            }
        }
