MMM-ImagesPhotos Help Resizing photos

[bebetter14]

I’m very new to this and I’m running into trouble trying to resize my photos using the referenced module. I keep getting a syntax error when trying to enter in the maxWidth and maxHeight. What is the correct format I need to use if I’m trying to have my photos be 500px X 500px. Thank you!

sequential: false  <====

when there is another line after, gotta have a trailing comma, saying more follows

@bebetter14 can you show what you are trying ?

general rule.

if the thing to the right of : is
a number 2, 7.5, 98.3456
true/false

no quotes

otherwise requires quotes.
500px, some street, hello

@sdetweil For example;

Ive used the same example in your Readme however just adding on the width and height.

{
	module: "MMM-ImagesPhotos",
	position: "middle_center",
	config: {
		opacity: 0.9,
		animationSpeed: 500,
		updateInterval: 5000,
		backgroundColor: 'grey', 
		fill: false,  
		blur: 10,   
		sequential: false 
                maxWidth: 500, 
                 maxHeight: 500,
	}
},

If I remove the width and height, it works no problem. Thank you very much for helping me out!

@sdetweil That was it! Thank you so much. This project has really gotten me interested in learning coding! Looking forward to posting my mirror once it’s finished.

@bebetter14 awesome

the error you saw was

unexpected token whatever

that is the first clue to look for a missing comma on the line before
