Removing modules

[killerwaffles]

Hello, i am very new to programming so i apologize in advance for asking repetitive/ dumb questions. I am wanting to remove the " US Holidays module from the screen but i am not exactly sure how to do it. Could someone please explain in detail how it can be done. I tried to delete the module in the config.js file but it seems to just blank the whole screen. Thanks for your help.

Hello @killerwaffles

I will be glad to help you. If you look in your config file for this section

		{
			module: 'calendar',
			header: 'US Holidays',
			position: 'top_left',
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
                                                url: 'webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics'
					}
				]
			}
		},

All you have to do is to remove these lines of code

					{
						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
						url: 'webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics'
					}

That should get ride of the us holidays calendar.

You need to remove or comment the whole block of the module. In your case I marked all lines with //
Otherwise parsing of the config file will fail because of missing brackets or commas

var config = {
	port: 8080,

	language: 'en',
	timeFormat: 24,
	units: 'metric',

	modules: [
		{
			module: 'alert',
		},
		{
			module: 'clock',
			position: 'top_left'
		},
//		{
//			module: 'calendar',
//			header: 'US Holidays',

//				calendars: [
//					{

//					}
//				]
//			}
//		},
		{
			module: 'compliments',
			position: 'lower_third'
		},
		{
			module: 'currentweather',
			position: 'top_right',
			config: {
				location: 'New York',
				locationID: '',  //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org
				appid: 'YOUR_OPENWEATHER_API_KEY'
			}
		},
		{
			module: 'weatherforecast',
			position: 'top_right',
			header: 'Weather Forecast',
			config: {
				location: 'New York',
				locationID: '5128581',  //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org
				appid: 'YOUR_OPENWEATHER_API_KEY'
			}
		},
		{
			module: 'newsfeed',
			position: 'bottom_bar',
			config: {
				feeds: [
					{
						title: "New York Times",
						url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
					}
				],
				showSourceTitle: true,
				showPublishDate: true
			}
		},
	]

};

if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {module.exports = config;}

When i tried to just remove those lines of code, the “US Holiday” text still showed but it removed everything else. Using the // in front of the module completely removed it from the screen. Thank you all for your help.

@killerwaffles
You are welcome.
You could as well remove all lines of code you just commented out with //

[killerwaffles]

I actually tried that originally but the main MagicMirror screen popped up and it says “Please create a config file” which was a bit confusing.

@killerwaffles If you were talking about the header not the calendar it self header: 'US Holidays', you could just change this part here. to say something like header: 'Events,
