MMM-Carousel not displaying

[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

@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'
            }
        }
