Need help with internet monitor-module

duedahlb

I was wondering if anyone has a solution for this…
I tried to follow the README file to internet monitor by ronny3050, but i just get a config error…

Has anyone the solution or a better guide for me?

@schlachtkreuzer6 I uploaded the standard file now… and the script module i want to use too

@duedahlb

Check your quotes. Change this: ’ to this: " and apply the missing quotes @

Maxtime
update … Etc.

doubleT

And please check the following link: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4247/how-to-post-code-on-the-forum-for-absolute-beginners/2

Right now, the config.js you posted is near-unreadable.

yawns

Both schlachtkreuzer6 and doubleT are totally right. I tried to change the post with your config, but akismet.com flags this as spam.
Besides wrong quotes the position of your added module was incorrect.
Please try this config:

@yawns wow, thanks!, but now my screen is just black… tried rebooting:/ anu suggestions?

doubleT

Might not be the problem (as modern browser are pretty forgiving about this) but the last property of an object (or array) doesn’t get a trailing comma.

			}
		}
	}
]
};

Other than that I don’t see any obvious problems. A black screen is better than a config error because it might load the basic MM but just not the modules.

Now, what I can suggest and what a developer would do is:

Reduce the config.js to the basics or the originally suggested example.
Add one module after another, always checking if it works or not.
If one doesn’t work or breaks something, note it down, remove it, try the next one. Or figure out directly why it doesn’t work.

But that way you can easily point to where it breaks. Everything else is guesswork.

@yawns it gives me the damn config error… plz help!
