      Apologies for creating another topic about this. I have done loads of research and have read all of the old topics, but cannot get past this.

      I’m totally new to this sort of this and thought that this looked nice and easy having viewed a few guides and watched a few videos. I was wrong.

      Long story short, I have a fairly fresh install of MM and cannot get the newsfeed to work at all. I’ve left it default and it doesnt populate; I’ve tried to change it to the BBC UK feed (my preferred feed btw) but again it just says “Loading…” along the bottom bar.
      I’ve tried so many different variations of the code in the config (but end up breaking it everytime and having to revert it to a saved config file), as well as changing (and reverting to default) all of the other .js files within the newsfeed folder.

      I have pasted my current config.js below, any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, please note, I’m a massive noob and very simple.

      Once I crack this it’ll be onto the next big problem regarding the assistant… but that a fight for another day. The most important thing right now is a functional MM with a newsfeed!

        mine is using the same source… and works…

        {
      module: "newsfeed",
      disabled: false,
      position: "bottom_bar",
      config: {
	ignoreOldItems:false,
        feeds: [
          {
            title: "New York Times",
            url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
          },        
        ],
        showSourceTitle: true,
        showPublishDate: true
      }
    },

          I have tried re-editing your paste into my config.js. There were a couple of minor formatting changes, but ultimately the problem persists.

          Thanks for having a look though!

            @ForeverBrewing ok, "Loading… " is the default message displayed until data comes in… then its replaced by the formatted data…

            so, open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, select the tab labeled console, and scroll up to find any errors…

            many times one can filter the messages by the some part of the module name in this case 'news"

              Hey Sam. I have looked through the dev window and cant find any errors, but it is clearly unhappy about something.

              Below is a sample of what i get as soon as I start the MM:

              Load script: modules/default/newsfeed//newsfeed.js
              module.js:476 Module registered: newsfeed

              newsfeed.js:429 newsfeed - unknown notification, ignoring: CLOCK_SECOND
              newsfeed.js:370

              etc etc.

              I have tried to click the link and see where in the code the error is, but I am WAAAAY out of my league. The fact is I have literally no idea what i’m looking at and am 100% relying on everybody else’s knowledge to manage anything vaguely resembling anything clever.

              Hope this helps?

                its ok… we all learn over time…

                the system allows modules to talk to each other by sending ‘notification’ messages…

                most of what you see are the clock noisily telling others that time is ticking…

                but, I don’t see any messages about the feed setup…

                  Once I stop filtering for “news” I do see one error, but it relates the the weather module:

                  newsfeed - unknown notification, ignoring: CLOCK_SECOND
                  api.openweathermap.o…43aac34d08eb3e2f3:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 (Unauthorized)
                  weatherforecast.js:266 weatherforecast: Your AppID does not support long term forecasts. Switching to fallback endpoint.
                  newsfeed.js:370 newsfeed - received notification: CLOCK_SECOND

                  I don’t know if this is relevant in any way?

                    forecast is long term, the api gets picky…

                      @sdetweil Yeah, I guessed it was irrelevant to the newsfeed shenanigans
