MMM-Carousel not displaying

@sdetweil Thanks Sam…
Can you help me with an mmm-calendarext issue? I have a basic config for it and all I get is a blank screen… If I do console window it just hangs…

{
          module: 'MMM-CalendarExt',
          position: "center",
          config: {
           calendars: [
           {
      url:"https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/pastormike%40htni.org/private-349ihavethisblocked/basic.ics"
         }
          ]
  }
	},

@sdetweil Still not able to display… I ran the following command and it didn’t return any errors…

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt $ npm init -y

@pastormingle all that does is built the empty packjson,which will be used by the
npm install xxx -save

that second step is what fixes the missing library xxx once you figure out it’s name from the log messages.

ps. there are more than one potential missing library… so I teach u how to find it so next time you don’t have to post here to find the fix.

pastormingle

@sdetweil guess i"m not following what the xxx file would be?

pastormingle

@pastormingle if i do a ctrl I i get the following
?

sdetweil

@pastormingle from the linked topic

then regardless do

npm install xxx
where xxx is the library noted in the message

cannot find module xxx

to find this message, look in the output of npm start. or if you use pm2 to launch mm do
pm2 logs --lines=50

__----------------

so you look for the message and get the name from it and replace xxx with the name

@pastormingle said in MMM-Carousel not displaying:

Error: Cannot find module ‘valid-url’

what is so hard about this?

pastormingle

@sdetweil the module name is valid-url… i though it’s looking for a URL… http://url…

sdetweil

@pastormingle then

npm install valid-url --save

in the mm module folder

because xxx is valid-url in that error message
