@mumblebaj said in MMM-Carousel not displaying:

npm install

not a silly question as it’s not in the install readme file…

Installation

Run these commands at the root of your magic mirror install.

cd modules
git clone https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-Carousel

Using the module

To use this module, add the following configuration block to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

[sdetweil]

@pastormingle doesn’t have a node helper, so doesn’t need an npm install

[mumblebaj]

@pastormingle Yes, you have to run nom install in the module folder. I saw that the module has a package.json with dependencies. I just installed it on my machine and it works. One thing to note, it only rotates modules that occupying the same position on the mirror. I have 2 modules that occupy the top_right position and those are rotating and the others remain unchanged when using the global config option.

@sdetweil Hi Sam, For my understanding. What about dependencies in the package.json? If those are not default with MM then you have to run npm install I would think? Or is my understanding incorrect?

[pastormingle]

@mumblebaj do you have an example of your config?

[pastormingle]

@pastormingle I sent my weather module to use the same as the clock position but still nothing…

[mumblebaj]

@pastormingle I used one of the default.

            module: 'MMM-Carousel',
            config: {
                transitionInterval: 10000,
                ignoreModules: [],
                mode: 'positional',
                top_left: {enabled: true, ignoreModules: [], overrideTransitionInterval: 15000},
                top_right: {enabled: true, ignoreModules: ['currentweather']}
            }
        },

Just tested the Global option and it works fine and rotates all the modules one by one.
Here is the config for global

            module: 'MMM-Carousel',
            config: {
                transitionInterval: 10000,
                ignoreModules: ['clock'],
                mode: 'global'
            }
        }

@pastormingle Are there any errors where you start the mirror? I.e. if you do npm start are there any errors in the terminal window or if you use pm2 you can check the pm2 logs. You can also check the Developer Console, do shift_ctrl + i and select the console tab. See if there are any errors there. If no errors you should see something like the below, modules suspended…module resumed
