MMM-Carousel not displaying

[sdetweil]

@pastormingle @mumblebaj

ok, I just debugged this, and there is a MM design changed that impacts this module… and maybe others…

if there is NO ‘position’ set, then the initial getDom() is not called. and this module DEPENDS on that
note that without position its getDom() is NEVER called…

so, set

position: ‘bottom_bar’

in the MMM-Carousel module config

[pastormingle]

@sdetweil said in MMM-Carousel not displaying:

position: ‘bottom_bar’

so that would be in the config.js file or the www-Carousel.js file?

[sdetweil]

@pastormingle ALL config options ALWAYS go in config.js

NEVER edit the module source file…

the design is options in config.js override any options defined in the module
any options not USED in config.js use the defaults provided by the module

but position is a MM config option (outside the config:{} block for the module),
NOT a module config option (inside the config:{} block for module)

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

@pastormingle

{
     module:   'MMM-Carousel',
     position: 'bottom_bar',
     config: { 
        whatever config for this module
    }
}

@sdetweil ```

So now is gets an Undefined displayed at the bottom of the display.. 
},
        {
            module: 'MMM-Carousel',
             position: 'bottom_bar',
            config: {
                transitionInterval: 10000,
                ignoreModules: [],
                mode: 'global'
            }
        }

@pastormingle this is my config

        {
            module: 'MMM-Carousel',
            position: "bottom_bar",
            config: {
                transitionInterval: 10000,
                ignoreModules: ['clock', 'alert'],
                mode: 'slides',
                slides: [
                    ['calendar', 'compliments', 'weather'],
                    ['newsfeed'],
                ]
            }
        }

but you wanted slides mode… why are u set to global?

[sdetweil]

@pastormingle

I changed ‘slides’ to ‘global’ and it worked too

you are using this version

https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-Carousel.git 

in the MMM-Carousel folder do

git remote -v

[pastormingle]

@sdetweil said in MMM-Carousel not displaying:

git remote -v
same.

[mumblebaj]

@pastormingle So, what @sdetweil meant was that in the terminal window in the ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Carousel/ folder you should run the command git remote -v and post the output of that.

For me it is:

origin  https://github.com/barnabycolby/MMM-Carousel (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/barnabycolby/MMM-Carousel (push)
