@Mykle1 Here’s the code. Figured this seemed like a popular spot to wet my feet. If I could get through this, I could set the rest up.

{
			module: "compliments",
			position: "lower_third"

			config: {
			 	   compliments: {
			 	   "....-01-01": [

				   "What a wonderful day!"
				   ],
				   evening: [

				   ]
			}
		},

While ya’ll are looking at that, I’ll check the troubleshooting section. Thanks

@KC5RIL

position: "lower_third"

			config: {

why did I say?
comma missing on the line before the error

position: "lower_third", // < -----

			config: {

KC5RIL

Okay! It’s coming together for me. I’m catching a couple more syntax errors. I’ll keep proofing to see if I catch more.

sdetweil

@KC5RIL general rules for the value to the right of :

numbers and true/false, no quotes,
otherwise needs quotes, doesn’t matter which as long as they are matched.

be careful on quotes, these curly ones " ’
are no good, but these text mode are
ok

"'

also if the next line starts with a word, then this line needs a trailing comma

@sdetweil I’ve proofed all I can. I don’t see anymore syntax errors. Still won’t run properly. Here’s the config:check ```
pi@WALL-e:~/MagicMirror $ npm run config:check

EUREKA!

The error message at start was bothering me. Figured it out with some playing around. needed a ‘}’ at 195. Problem solved.

Thanks for ya’lls help. I’ll more than likely pester you again with more issues. Have your crayons ready!
