<![CDATA[static text to MM2]]>Hey @ all,

I´m a freshy at raspberrypi and I copied the “helloworld”-module to create a static-text-module with a name “MMM-static-text” just to avoid any problems in future if someone changes the “helloworld” for any reasons.
I changed the names of the folder, files and within the file to “MMM-static-text”
MMM-static-text.js:

/* global Module */

/* Magic Mirror
 * Module: MMM-static-text
 *
 * By Michael Teeuw http://michaelteeuw.nl
 * MIT Licensed.
 */

Module.register("MMM-static-text",{

	// Default module config.
	config: {
		text: "Wetterinformationen"
	}
});

config.js:

{	module: "MMM-static-text",
			position: "top_right",
			config:{
				text: "Wetterinformationen"
			}
		},

Unfortunatelly it doesn´t show “Wetterinformation”. Instead it shows “MMM-static-text” and below “module_4_MMM-static-text”. If I use the helloworld-module it is the same.
What is wrong with my module?
Thanks for any help.
Best Regards
Daniel

thanks a lot. This works fine after I copied your code into my file.
Just typing the rest of the missing code does´nt worked. I had to copy the code.
I assume a missing ; or ,.
Anyway I fixed with your help.
Thanks a lot!

The module is missing the code to actually display/do something, either directly or via template system.

/* global Module */

/* Magic Mirror
 * Module: MMM-static-text

Module.register("MMM-static-text",{

	// Default module config.
	defaults: {
		text: "Wetterinformationen!"
	},

	// Override dom generator.
	getDom: function() {
		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
		wrapper.innerHTML = this.config.text;
		return wrapper;
	}
});

I copied the complete helloworld-folder from modules/default to modules and renamed it to MMM-static-text.
I renamed all files as well.
This is the outcome…
