@sdetweil thanks, that worked. Looks like I’ve got some clean up to do in my initial code before moving on. I’ll clean this up tonight and implement the new module tomorrow. Thanks again for your help.

@sdetweil Thanks for the npm run config:check That has helped me to clean up my config.js to not have any errors. After fixing all the issues (mainly with the use of ( ’ ) as opposed to ( " ), which is confusing when most of the code already written uses the single quote instead of the double?) I then went to add the Carousel to the top of my code as below:

With the code implemented at the top, I ran npm run config:check and it now comes back that it doesn’t like the { before "module: "alert", referring to it as an Unexpected token. When I’ve taken that out, it says the Unexpected token is now module. I’m thinking I’m missing something that should be there as opposed to something that shouldn’t but I’m not sure what the token it’s expecting is?

@aecandroid said in MMM-Carousel config.js Help Please:

    }
  {
  	module: "alert",

yes,

each module is

{
  module: name,
  config: {
  }
},   //< ---- note the trailing comma

there is a missing comma before the module alert {

@sdetweil right you are!! “Your configuration file doesn’t contain syntax errors :)” is now what I’m seeing. Thank you for all your help.

aecandroid

@sdetweil right, feeling pretty stupid at the moment. I’ve added the code with global setting but it doesn’t appear to have changed anything. No errors are coming up. Do I need to add or change any code of the existing modules in my config? I was a bit confused as most modules need an npm install but this one doesn’t appear to need that according to the readme. Sorry to be a continuous pain. Your help is greatly appreciated.

sdetweil

@aecandroid no idea. haven’t used this module.

a module needs an npm install ONLY IF is contains a package.json file
