Trying to add a 3rd party module

fuzz

Hello all, I am new to this Magic Mirror. I got it up and running fine. I was able to change the weather info for my area. But I can not get any module to work, that I want to add. I tried putting in different spots in the config file. But that didn’t work.

I tried different ones with no luck. I was trying to add the RSS and Stock ticker module.

modules: [
    {
        module: 'stocks',
        position: 'bottom_bar',
        config: {
            stocks: '.DJI,MSFT,AAPL,GOOG,INTC,CICS,TSLA,FB', // stock symbols
            updateInterval: 37000 // update interval in milliseconds
        }
    }
]

Can anyone help me where to put this at? thanks.

Try this put it as your last module in the config.js

 {
        module: 'stocks',
        position: 'bottom_bar',
        config: {
            stocks: '.DJI,MSFT,AAPL,GOOG,INTC,CICS,TSLA,FB', // stock symbols
            updateInterval: 37000 // update interval in milliseconds
        }
    },

The module before it must end in a coma as well just like the above example.

So for example:

{
			module: 'weatherforecast',
			position: 'top_right',
			header: 'Weather Forecast',
			config: {
				location: 'New York',
				locationID: '5128581',  //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org
				appid: 'YOUR_OPENWEATHER_API_KEY'
			}
		},
		{
			module: 'newsfeed',
			position: 'bottom_bar',
			config: {
				feeds: [
					{
						title: "New York Times",
						url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
					}
				],
				showSourceTitle: true,
				showPublishDate: true
			}
		},
