@N3UR0515 show a couple modules w classes defined

[N3UR0515]

@sdetweil Hey, thanks for the quick reply.

Here is my full config, it’s a fresh install with just the 2 modules installed.

/* Config Sample
 *
 * For more information on how you can configure this file
 * see https://docs.magicmirror.builders/configuration/introduction.html
 * and https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/configuration.html
 *
 * You can use environment variables using a `config.js.template` file instead of `config.js`
 * which will be converted to `config.js` while starting. For more information
 * see https://docs.magicmirror.builders/configuration/introduction.html#enviromnent-variables

@N3UR0515 and what is the user name detected

[N3UR0515]

@sdetweil The username detected is alfie.

Here is a log extract confirming it successfully detects me:

@N3UR0515 you cant have profile switcher AND facereco. they do the same thing

so, only newsfeed should show for alfie

[N3UR0515]

@sdetweil Thank you so much! Knew I’d done something wrong.

Not sure why I thought they had to be used together.

Thanks for the speedy responses👊

[sdetweil]

@N3UR0515 you would use profileswitcher if you had something else advising which profile to use and nothing else doing that function

facereco is doing it all
