@hango DO NOT EDIT the module files…

edit the config.js and put setting in the module config block

{
    module: ???? ,
    position: .....  ,
    config: { 
        xyz: iiiii,   < ---- stuff goes here 
    }
}

the value in the config will replace the ones in the code

you NEVER have to edit the actual module source code

@hango in your post of 'config, you put it in the global section,

not in the little config:{} section related to each module

this is why u are having trouble…

@hango because it specific to ONE module, and should go in the ONE module config:{}

@hango ok, maybe YOU know what your getting yourself into… most users don’t…

follow the rules, talk about how you are SUPPOSED to do things… teach them the RIGHT way.

i’m here because I want to be, help users, we have enough problems with old docs written and not maintained, old code written and not maintained, we don’t need special instructions that are fragile.
