MMM-Jnews

Hi I am new to this and I did so I think all that is to be done and it still do not work tell me to config.js file
},
{
module: ‘MMM-Jnews’
config: {
apiKey: “my api”,
image : true
}
},

OK first off you have to go to https://newsapi.org/ and get your api key…the key they give you has to go in between the quotes like this [for example]

apiKey : “aabjadjfadfas9adfajsdlfja”

The rest of the config should work for you as I’ve rewritten it… use the above example only go get the api and replace “my apikey” with “YOUR KEY” put in quotes that you get from the newsapi.org link :)

You know I just had to give you some sh** a little bit.

It is a nice module, as I suspected, no way to get local news without making some changes to your code.

I really like the set up though.

Great job! (as usual!) :grinning_face: :grinning_face: :grinning_face:

Yes it’s news from a bunch of different sources all brought together…

I’m getting just a little bit tired of all your success. ;-)

Great module. I like it. Question: Some lines of text consist of 3 lines and the next message is 4. As a result, the modules above will always jump “up and down”. Can you set the module to 4 lines and these automatically fill depending on the content? Do you understand what I want to express?

@jeffreyking -
Just in case nobody else mentions it, you should delete the advice in the square brackets from your config.js file. The part that looks like this: [default is false, Raspberry Pi's don't like the images]

Delete in the part in the square brackets from the next line as well. They are commentary from the developer.

cowboysdude

@bjoern I do and I will look at it :)

cowboysdude

@bhepler Changed the README.md as this has happened more than once LOL

jeffreyking

All working now just had to place a position line in thanks you so much.

jeffreyking

How can I make the module larger thank you

cowboysdude

@jeffreyking add this to your custom.css file

       .MMM-Jnews .flex-item {
        font-size: 22px;  
          }

Make the font-size whatever you want :)

jeffreyking

Thank you what about the picture

cowboysdude

@jeffreyking

custom.css

  .MMM-Jnews .image {
width:  90%;
height:  90%;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #92a8d1;
  }

Be careful with that as the space provided will over write your text…so just trial and error.

This is nice! Thank you!

Quick question regarding your note on your github page. Ive only had a mirror for maybe 2 weeks, its running on a pi 3b+. I have a good amount of moduiles, but not all showing all the time and my pi sits around 55-60c .

Would it be better to run the magic mirror software on an ubuntu vm and just use fullpageos or something similar on the pi? Im not sure if that would take most the processing away from the pi or not?

Thanks

cowboysdude

@darbos mine runs on a mini itx board so I can pretty much do what I want.

If you want the basic MM then the PI is fine but if you want more you have to think bigger. ;)

darbos

I am just curious how much load is actually taken away from the pi if MM is actually running on a vm elsewhere(dell r720). I would think the pi is still gotta do some video processing correct?

I am looking to add some “pages” specifically going to make it so I can tell google to show me my security cams and have all my normal modules fade away and bring the cameras up(12 outdoor). I would actually like to make a couple pages with different information to be able to do that. I love this thing, thank you for sharing your hard work! I see your a hard workin guy out here.

I was lookin at those intel sticks possibly, I have never messed with one yet though. Ill take a look at the board you mentioned. Thanks

btw, its really easy to integrate voice if you use homeassistant, just using the apis / mqtt / remote module. I was looking for a module for a while that would let me create pages instead of having to call each module out with remote, i just happened to stumble on to it today

darbos

those look nice, thanks! i had to write back so quick cause that got me really curious. Ive seen quite a bit of your posts scrollin through here, but I havent seen your mirror, would you mind sharing a peek?

I’ll post some updated ones for you :) I have 2 actually…one in the bathroom and my 32" I put on the wall in the kitchen…

Hi, thanks for your module.
It works perfectly.

I was wondering if you could add a way to “force” a specific language ?
( my mirror language is English and i would love to read the French news )
Is there a way to display more than 1 article at a time ?

Thanks.
