@RIKKO14 said in MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic : black screen by copying the code in config.js:

width: ‘300px’

I think you missed a comma at the end of that line.

@RIKKO14 https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4231/how-to-add-modules-for-absolute-beginners?_=1593192855121
take out the addtional stuff u added and read the above post and try again

[sdetweil]

@RIKKO14 also, the GoogleMapsTraffic module has a bug, which I fixed, but th e author has not taken,

you can use my repo instead of the original
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic

II have read the post : https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4231/how-to-add-modules-for-absolute-beginners?_=1593192855121

I don’t anderstand what you say : "take out the addtional stuff u added ", I added nothing…
And I d’ont anderstand what is your “repo instead”,

and this my config.js, I had already installed modules where I had encountered the problem of} and not}, but there everything seems good, I do not see the error … :

@RIKKO14 the last thing you said was

modified, but still the same problem …

"take out the addtional stuff u added ", I added nothing…

you added a new module definition (that is additional stuff)

repo, the site on github is a repository, repo for short

the original u are trying to use is
https://github.com/vicmora/MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic

mine is
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic

note that the userids are different.

so, instead of git cloning vic’s repo, do that with mine (instead)

@RIKKO14 thats why I suggested the link on modules for beginners, you have too many braces {} and brackets []

just cutting and pasting what the author gives you is trouble if you don’t understand what ytou are supposed to do

module entries no not HAVE to have a trailing , (comma) UNLESS there are more entries after

and showing the module in that whole list is bad, cause people just copy… and boom you have TWO config entries and two module lists… not good…
