        @sdetweil Is it possible for you to send me a picture of the .js file so I can double check?

          @smart_user u can look on the github site

          View code. Then click on file.

          If you used git clone, then u can do

          git diff node_helper.js
          to see the differences

              @smart_user show me the config block. Minimum is this. MUST have a position

              {
                   module:"SampleModule",
                   position:"middle",
               },

                euh … position needed ONLY if you have to show something on the mirror (getDom).
                If you have nothing to show THEN position is not needed

                Note: verified in my lasted module (position is not needed because no visual)

                    @sdetweil Yes! I missed adding the position to the config file. Just have another clarification. Can these messages show up for a few seconds then disappear and then appear again after 30 minutes? If so, how do I do that?

                      @smart_user sure. When u want the message to go away, set the string to empty, or not create any content in getDom()…

                      U would start a timer after u display the text, and the call updateDom() in the timer routine.

                      Wait, display. Wait. Remove output
                      Repeat

                        @sdetweil Hello, I am facing the same problem - and I want the same feature @smart_user mentioned. But I am sorry, I didn’t get the timer part. Which string are you talking about? and where will I add the updateDom()? Please help
