Modules won't show up on mirror?

homebrew

For some reason when I edited the actual config.js in text editor it worked! (as opposed to editing the document within Terminal)

Thank you!!

nano? In the terminal, you have to use “sudo nano” to get rights to write to the file.

(and nested objects and arrays). The last property never gets a comma, these are only separators.

That’s probably it. The developer console would probably have hinted at that, saying something like the next thing after the comma was expected to be something else.

While you’re removing the last comma in the clock module’s settings, also remove the three empty lines that follow.

{
     module: "clock",
     position: "top_left" // no comma
},

another example:

{
     module: "clock",
     position: "top_left", // comma, because "config" follows
     config: {
          displayType: "digital" // no comma
     } // no comma
},

@doubleT I’ll be able to look at it tomorrow and let you know if that fixes it

The config that you posted above works, as is. I just tested it. @doubleT is correct about removing the comma and the spaces but those are not causing the config to fail. Is MM failing to launch? Or you are expecting to see something different? I don’t see where you stated what the problem is.

Thank you!!

You’re welcome, mate. You don’t HAVE to use the terminal to edit all files if you are not familiar or comfortable with its use. I prefer notepad++ for Windows (notepadqq for linux) for editing code. There are others. Find one you like. Makes life a whole lot easier.

Peace!
