      Hello Everyone,

      I’m new here and very much so enjoying magic Mirror.
      I have been adding a module or two with success. I would like to add a way to install a module that will allow an Alexa list to display on Magic Mirror. I have looked at Todoist and Wunderlist but best I can tell neither are rally supported. I did get Todoist install and all set on their website, however when I load magic Mirror all i get is a black screen. I did run the check:config tool and the config file checkes good, no errors.
      Hope someone can help with some advice.

      Thank you in advance
      Nick

        @ndaphne check the messages at mm startup.
        either nm start or if using pm2, then pm2 logs --lines=100

        more than likely a missing library

        I installed the mmm-todoist module last week as a test, an it worked fine.

        you did the npm install in the module folder as the doc says, right?

          Hello Sam,

          Thank you for the response.

          It is installed in the MagicMirror/Modules folder.

          here are the messages after start is executed.

          Its interesting how todoist is not in any of the messages.

                @ndaphne I added the code wrapper around config

                next time after pasting the text, select it all, then push the button above the editor that looks like </>

                now,
                what are the [ and ] around the module entry
                they should not be there

                  @ndaphne a module entry starts with {
                  and ends with }

                  they are in a list

                  modules:[
                     all in here
                     {...
                          module 1
                     },
                     {
                          module 2
                      ...
                     }
                  ]
                  

                  the author might have shown the list wrapper

                    Ok, got that fixed and now I’m getting some responses in the startup messages. it appears to be looking for a module “showdown” that I cant seem to find.

                    Thank you for the pointers concerning the brackets. little by little I’ll learn.

                        @sdetweil Boy I’m not sure what I missed

                        I’m certain I ran the installer and the “run install” command to install dependents.
                        Is there something I’m just not seeing?

                        thank you for tolerating my shortcomings here. It’s deeply appreciated.
