      @SteakExpert said in Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module:

      “builder encountered a problem, see MagicMirror messages for info”

      yeh, that message was put there to tell you what to do instead of being dead

      that means the error trap worked…

            @SteakExpert we are looking for content in the MagicMirror runtime messages (from npm start ) that might look like this (forced an error just to get the content)

             [LOG]   stdout: --------------------MMM-Config
            module MMM-Carousel has an error in the construction of its defaults section
            the error line is     transitionTimeout: somevalue,
            please change it to the literal value of the referenced defaults variable
            and restart MagicMirror
            --------------------MMM-Config
            

            the browser message is the last part setup of the error handler

              I am a noob at this, how do I set the port to use the browser and how do I show the QR code on my MM?

                @DarkV the default port is 8080

                you can edit in config.js and change the number, or change it in the form

                and in the MMM-Config config set showQR to true
                or change it in the form
                the doc mentions how to open the form directly in a browser

                note on the QR you MUST change config.js to support outside MagicMirror system access, per the doc

                  config set showQR

                  So, should I add “showQR = True” to the configj.s?
                  As I said earlier, I do not have the skill of the format.

                        @sdetweil Apologies for my lack of knowledge, but I didn’t fully understand your response about the URL. Please keep in mind that I’m not very experienced with coding.
