@sdetweil Dear Sir, you are a genius, i finally got it working. Surely it was an install issue. Using your installation script, and in the past 2 hours i have already inculcated 4 third party modules, and all seems to be working. I might have a question or two later tomorrow when i make more progress, but for now, the main issue is resolved.

So everything is working out great for me, i have added some great modules, and in the processing of adding more.
The only one thing i am not able to figure out is the measure of unit for the weather.
I am in the US, in texas, and even if i use the imperial unit it wont show it correctly and the weather is totally off.

                {
                        module: "MMM-Weather",
                        position: "top_right",

                     longitude: "95.83688",

we are west of england, so longitude should be negative (right?)… I am in texas too,

so, if u fix that and leave units off, it will take from the top of config

hahaha

@socrates easy, maps.google.com, get the map of your location, in the url, delete the minus sign on longitude, and press enter

it will map that location… zoom out til u figure out where that is

Thank you for your help. I have successfully managed to add quite a bit of useful modules as per my requirements, and have added styling to the fonts etc.
However there are two things I am unable to get around.
First is the wallpaper module.
If i use the default bing option for the source, it wont show more than 10 wallpapers, i have tried to change the “maximumEntries” to 20 or more and it still wont show more than the original 10 wallpapers it loaded the first day (3 days back). Then i tried to change the source to Flickr groups, and it wont show anything now. Please have a look at my code snippet below.

                {
                        module: "MMM-Wallpaper",
                        position: "fullscreen_below",
                        config: { // See "Configuration options" for more information.
                        source: "flickr-group:113291043@N05",
                        maximumEntries: "20",
                        slideInterval: 60 * 1000 // Change slides every minute
                                }
                },

The second item is, i am not able to increase the calendar items, right now it only shows me 5 or 6 items, i am trying to increase it to 10 and it still show the default items.
see below.

                {
                        module: "calendar",
                        header: "Holidays & Reminders",
                        position: "top_left",
                        maximumEntries: "20",
                        config: {
                                calendars: [
                                        {
                                                symbol: "calendar-check",
                                                url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics",
                                                maximumEntries: 20,
                                        },
                                        {
                                                symbol: "calendar-check",
                                                url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/lxxxxxxxxx.ics",
                                                maximumEntries: 20
                                        }
                                ]
                        }
                },

@socrates

maximumEntries

goes outside the calendars list

config: {
                               maximumEntries: 10,
                                calendars: [

Configuration options

is ALL calendars,. outside the calendars list

Calendar configuration options:

is per calendar

GOsh thanks that worked.
Any idea about the wallpaper part? I would like to inculcate flickr group, but the code snippet wont work.

maximumEntries: “20”,

maybe,

numbers should never be in quotes
