Building an Image Module.

shadymaple

Hi everyone, we have the MagicMirror up and running, and we’ve modified a little bit, by adding our own Text and included an ESPN rss feed as well. We’d like to add an image (school logo) to our mirror. Where can I find information - quite specific information - that would show us how to build an image module? We’ve tried a few things already, but have not had success. Thanks, hope someone can assist.

@shadymaple I should add, that I did try the GitHub thing, added the Logo image and even added that to our Raspberry-Pi - I see the folder in the MagicMirror area.

You could just use my module and put the path of your image in the “ownImagePath” value of the config. It’s explained in the README but if you need help, let me now.

Thanks, we tried that, we did get your image to display, but when we placed our image in the ownImagePath, we would just get three lines around the border of the image (left, right, bottom). Not sure…I will try attaching a picture as well to show you.

Could you please try to comment out line 61 of MMM-Globe.js and tell me if it works then?

To comment out, I did the ¨//¨ before that line, correct? If so, it now shows the outline of my image, but image doesn´t load. Is that maybe a GitHub issue for me - maybe I did that wrong? This part of my code in the config.js is:

	{
	 module: 'MMM-Globe',
	 position: 'center',
		 config: {
    		style: 'geoColor',
    		imageSize: 300,
    		ownImagePath:'https://github.com/ddzurko/Mirror/blob/master/Gear.png',
    		updateInterval: 10*60*1000
		}
	},

@shadymaple
ok now i got the problem.
can you please update the module. To do that just type git pullin the module directory (…/modules/MMM-Globe/). And in your config file you have to change your path to https://github.com/ddzurko/Mirror/blob/master/Gear.png?raw=true.
Then it should work.
