BBC News feed

there is an omission in the newsfeed.js file, that is causing this problem…

this secton:

if(!this.config.showFullArticle){
        var title = document.createElement("div");
	title.className = "bright medium light" + (!this.config.wrapTitle ? " no-wrap" : "");
	title.innerHTML = this.newsItems[this.activeItem].title;
	wrapper.appendChild(title);
}

states if(!this.config.showFullArticle){

But there isn’t a showFullArticle: false; in 'defaults

So, basically it is ignoring the showSourceTitle: true, because this section cannot be executed

I think it would make more sense to have the above code snippet be worded like this:

if(this.config.showSourceTitle){
        var title = document.createElement("div");
	title.className = "bright medium light" + (!this.config.wrapTitle ? " no-wrap" : "");
	title.innerHTML = this.newsItems[this.activeItem].title;
	wrapper.appendChild(title);
}

then maybe add:

showSourceTitle = false;

to this section of code:

if (this.config.showFullArticle) {
	var fullArticle = document.createElement("iframe");
	fullArticle.className = "";
	fullArticle.style.width = "100vw";
	// very large height value to allow scrolling
	fullArticle.height = "3000";
	fullArticle.style.height = "3000";
	fullArticle.style.top = "0";
	fullArticle.style.left = "0";
	fullArticle.style.border = "none";
	fullArticle.src = this.getActiveItemURL()
	fullArticle.style.zIndex = 1;
	wrapper.appendChild(fullArticle);
}

if you don’t want the title to display while the article is being displayed.

@justjim1220 I tried altering the code as you suggest but unfortunately I am still not seeing the BBC title

@TamP

you might try deleting the module then reinstalling it

I just tried exactly what you have configured and it works just fine…

Since newsfeed is a part of the initial MM2 installation, go here: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules/default/newsfeed
and get the newsfeed files themselves. You probably only need the actual js files: fetcher.js & newsfeed.js
right click on the file and click Save Link As… then save to your newsfeed directory within MM2
