@kapsolas

Some of us are having issues here… little help please.

Installed per instructions with NPM Install and it isn’t working.

That’s all mine says too… “Loading…”

apparently this is an unsupported module… delete.

[kapsolas]

I just started up my mirror again and the instagram module loaded up correctly.

Are you use that you have configured the token correctly?

Additionally, install a tool like firebug on your browser and try to access the mirror using the browser. Then enable firebug. It will have error messages or plugin messages written to the console.

If the plugin gets images and starts to display them, you will get console entries such as: incrementing the activeItem and refreshing

[cowboysdude]

Well we’re certainly glad it worked for you…however…

{
module: ‘MMM-Instagram’,
position: ‘top_right’,
config: {
access_token: ‘API_KEY from instagram’,
count: 200,
min_timestamp: 0,
animationSpeed: 2500,
updateInterval: 12500
}
},

Replaced ‘API_KEY …’

and followed all directions and it still sits there and says “Loading…”…

Same

What are you guys seeing in the console log? If you are not anything… then I will have to send you a version of the module with debug comments in it to see where the issue is.

FYI - I had a similar issue with the Module for Traffic and never solved it. It just sat on Loading…

[cowboysdude]

@kapsolas Well gosh darn it LOL SOLVE IT MAN! Lives are hangin in the balance…

No I have run it in dev mode and I see or get no errors… so perhaps using a version with debug would be best :)

[cowboysdude]

OH I stand corrected… here’s an error:

[A Former User]

How do you get it to show in a browser??

restart your mirror like this:

npm start dev

cool thanks

[cowboysdude]

@wjdw87 You’re welcome :) NOW if he can solve the problem it’ll work! :)

[kapsolas]

Hmm. that tempimpage variable is not found in my code.

Did you modify the code at all? The code should look as below. In the error message it shows tempimpage which is not a valid variable. This would cause the script to not work.

   var tempimage = this.images.photo[this.activeItem];
    
    // image
    var imageLink = document.createElement('div');
    imageLink.id = "MMM-Instagram-image";
    imageLink.innerHTML = "<img src='" + tempimage.photolink + "'>";
    
    imageDisplay.appendChild(imageLink);
    wrapper.appendChild(imageDisplay);

[cowboysdude]

@kapsolas no didn’t modify. So what I’ll do is delete what’s there and recopy it since I already did the npm install.

Thank you!! 😊

@kapsolas Where is this “added code” that needs to be removed, sorry missed that.

Remove " + tempimage.photolink + “'>”" ?

@wjdw87 Based on the code you have provided above, it looks correct. It does not have the tempimpage anywhere.

I did not ask you to delete any code, but somehow the code you were running had tempimage misspelled to tempimpage.

The messages you are showing in the screenshot, are from the core system, but does show that the instagram feed module is running. So there is something else.

To confirm:

1. You cloned the module from github
2. You generated a token for instragram
3. Configured the config.js file, configuration for the module appropriately

[cowboysdude]

I’m all good… I have NO idea where I got that version from but I copied over your original and it fired up…

Thank you!

I believe that version is yoless fork… someone wanted the ability to adjust width and height… which is not a bad idea … ;)

[kapsolas]

Awesome! Glad to hear we got it all set up! Enjoy the module!
