MMM-Carousel not displaying

sdetweil

@pastormingle you need to get into the MMM-Carousel folder

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Carousel
git remote -v

sdetweil

@pastormingle no, shouldn’t have to

that error is typically from bad position:

pastormingle

@sdetweil OK it’s working now… Thanks for all the hard work… So I unistalled the shbatm version and installed the schramkef. now it’s working fine…

sdetweil

@pastormingle great… glad its working

I am trying to use the carouselId:“1” function on multiple calendars. But when in use i am getting a module load error… not sure i am doing this right…

code_text
```[{name:'calendar', classes:'zoom200', position:"middle_center", carouselId:"1"} ],
       {
			module: "calendar",
			colored: true,
                        header: "Mikes Calendar",
			position: "left",
                        timeFormat: 'absolute',
                        broadcastPastEvents: false,
                        fade: false,
                        showEnd: false,
                        color: '#ffffff',
                        config: {
                                carouselId:"1"
                                tableClass: "medium",

@sdetweil I am having an intermittent issue now with displaying my office 365 work calendar… Sometimes it comes back with an "error in calendar module check logs for more details. I don’t see anything in the development console… Any direction here, please?

pastormingle

@pastormingle i changed the time intervals on the fetch and that seems to have worked… thanks…

sdetweil

@pastormingle messages for fetching would be in the place u start mm

npm start or pm2

pastormingle

@sdetweil Thanks Sam…

          module: 'MMM-CalendarExt',
          position: "center",
          config: {
           calendars: [
           {
      url:"https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/pastormike%40htni.org/private-349ihavethisblocked/basic.ics"
         }
          ]

@pastormingle all that does is built the empty packjson,which will be used by the
npm install xxx -save

that second step is what fixes the missing library xxx once you figure out it’s name from the log messages.

ps. there are more than one potential missing library… so I teach u how to find it so next time you don’t have to post here to find the fix.

pastormingle

@sdetweil guess i"m not following what the xxx file would be?

pastormingle

@pastormingle if i do a ctrl I i get the following
?

sdetweil

@pastormingle from the linked topic

then regardless do

npm install xxx
where xxx is the library noted in the message

cannot find module xxx

to find this message, look in the output of npm start. or if you use pm2 to launch mm do
pm2 logs --lines=50

__----------------

so you look for the message and get the name from it and replace xxx with the name

@pastormingle said in MMM-Carousel not displaying:

Error: Cannot find module ‘valid-url’

what is so hard about this?

pastormingle

@sdetweil the module name is valid-url… i though it’s looking for a URL… http://url…

sdetweil

@pastormingle then

npm install valid-url --save

in the mm module folder

because xxx is valid-url in that error message
