MMM-Carousel not displaying

[mumblebaj]

@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

[sdetweil]

@pastormingle please use code block around config info

[pastormingle]

@mumblebaj

[pastormingle]

@sdetweil not sure what that means?

[mumblebaj]

@pastormingle That means that something is already running with that IP. Do you only have 1 instance of MM running?

[pastormingle]

@mumblebaj The IP conflict is due to me ssh into the pi and starting magic mirror… I am referring to the commits from sdetweil that said “please use code block around config info” So still not working… But it looks like the carousel module is working…

[mumblebaj]

@pastormingle What Sam was saying was the when posting your config, you need to set it in a code block. That is done by selecting the config you posted and then pressing the </> button at the top of the window. That would wrap the config in a code block and make it look “pretty”.

I am glad your Carousel is now working.

[pastormingle]

@mumblebaj sorry mumblebaj that was a typo it’s not working… Any other suggestions?

@pastormingle As mentioned previously, are the any errors in the developers window? Do you have any errors in the terminal window? I am using the exact same config as you for Carousel and it work just fine for me

[sdetweil]

@mumblebaj said in MMM-Carousel not displaying:

That would wrap the config in a code block and make it look “pretty”.

not pretty, just more readable

[sdetweil]

@mumblebaj yes, generally, w package.json you would need an npm install. but in this case, the dependencies after for testing not running

Here is what is in my developer window under the console tab… I don’t see anything that stands out.

@sdetweil I tried to manual run the MMM-Carousel.js but returned the following. MMM-

[sdetweil]

@pastormingle don’t know why you would do that. it has to run under MagicMirror…

[mumblebaj]

@pastormingle Do you see any of the module suspended or module resumed stuff?

[sdetweil]

@pastormingle @mumblebaj

ok, I just debugged this, and there is a MM design changed that impacts this module… and maybe others…

if there is NO ‘position’ set, then the initial getDom() is not called. and this module DEPENDS on that
note that without position its getDom() is NEVER called…

so, set

position: ‘bottom_bar’

in the MMM-Carousel module config

[pastormingle]

@sdetweil said in MMM-Carousel not displaying:

position: ‘bottom_bar’

so that would be in the config.js file or the www-Carousel.js file?

[sdetweil]

@pastormingle ALL config options ALWAYS go in config.js

NEVER edit the module source file…

the design is options in config.js override any options defined in the module
any options not USED in config.js use the defaults provided by the module

but position is a MM config option (outside the config:{} block for the module),
NOT a module config option (inside the config:{} block for module)

see
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/configuration.html#example

[sdetweil]

@pastormingle

{
     module:   'MMM-Carousel',
     position: 'bottom_bar',
     config: { 
        whatever config for this module
    }
}
