<p dir="auto">Hi! I am new here, building my first project and I am stuck. I cannot get the googlebirthdaysprovider to work. Here is the config:</p>
<pre><code class="language-{">			module: "calendar",
			header: "Upcoming Birthdays",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				displayRepeatingCountTitle: true,
				calendars: [
						{
						
							url: 'http://localhost:8080/mmm-googlebirthdaysprovider',
							symbol: "birthday-cake",
							repeatingCountTitle: "Birthday",
							color: '#f00',
							colored: true,
							coloredSymbolOnly: true,
						}	
					]
			}
		}, code_text
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">it’s gotta be user error – what am I doing wrong? Thank you so much!</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>

<p dir="auto">Just to make sure, do you have the opening curly bracket before your first line above?  Also, why do you have “code_text” after the comma at the end?</p>
<p dir="auto">I also notice that you use single quote marks instead of double-quotes in the config: block.  I am not sure that matters, but all of the examples use double-quotes.  (Single quotes <em>should</em> work, but there is always the chance that npm, MM, or some other component is expecting double-quotes.)</p>
<p dir="auto">When you say you cannot get it working, does having that block of code in your config.js cause MM not to launch correctly at all?  (Ie., do you get a black screen or the “create a config or check the existng one for errors” message?)  Or does MM launch correctly, and the module does not show up?  Or it shows up, but just has a “Loading” message instead of the expected calendar?</p>
