Ugh, I think i found it. You need to do npm install as root…

Wait, nope!

pi@Pi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo npm install

> electron@1.6.6 postinstall /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron
> node install.js

/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/install.js:47
  throw err
  ^

Ugh, I give up. Going to bed. Thanks for your help, i’ll fix in the morning. :)

Hey mate, I think I have a bug for you. :bug:

In MMM-PNews.js you hard code in the sorting method (latest) for the source.

this.url = "https://newsapi.org/v1/articles?source=" + this.config.newsSource + "&sortBy=Latest&apiKey=";

Latest isn’t a valid sorting method for some sources.
Example is the https://newsapi.org/abc-news-au-api

If you hit that with the url they provide with Latest in there for sorting, it fails and gives

{"status":"error","code":"sourceUnavailableSortedBy","message":"The news source you've selected (abc-news-au) isn't available sorted by latest"}

But if you change Latest to Top in the url, works fine. :)

This is causing some feeds to not work.

Also, mine doesn’t seem to be updating the feed. (Sorry!)

Seeing this in the log?
fatal: unable to access ‘https://github.com/cowboysdude/MMM-PNews/’: GnuTLS recv error (-54): Error in the pull function.

@DeanoAus said in MMM-Pnews:

sourceUnavailable

I’ve updated the url so that should fix that…

The other error is a git error … “: Error in the pull function”

DeanoAus

Awesome, thanks! :D

@cowboysdude Just installed this for the first time. Looks GREAT! However, it seems to take up a lot of space at the bottom bar; I am using a somewhat smaller screen. Is there a way I can limit the module to more of the center leaving space on both sides at the bottom for smaller modules? Also, I’d like to center the pic and text. It seems that it only aligns to the left. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@lucallmon I’ll take a look at it later when I get home :) We’ll see what we can do!

hi Cowboysdude,

I like your modules, nice work.
I was wondering if you could modify or make a separate module for the dutch (belgian) newsfeeds.
take a look at this side: http://feeds.nieuwsblad.be/nieuws/snelnieuws
they provide for each headline, a pircture and short description.
It would be nice if you could also incorparate this into the module.
