Good lord just install xscreensaver and then disable the screen saver from there… easiest way without having to modify a ton of files… then being frustrated because it still doesn’t work :)

@justjim1220 Well because the wunderground key isn’t good for anything else so may as well try it here LOL
Something like this:
@efk4 trial and error my friend… trial and error LOL
@AAPS Here’s a nice guide for you :)

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…
@schlachtkreuzer6 Neither am I and I did in about 30 seconds… LOL You can do it!

@Mykle1 I think I made a mistake by putting similar code in the wrong file I put it into the other config file by doing ‘sudo nano /boot/config.txt’
How to I get to the config file you’re talking about?
I would in a terminal window go to:
~MagicMirror/config
type: cp config.js.sample config.js
That will give you your config file.
Then you can sudo nano config.js and enter the weather info.
Thanks to @strawberry-3-141 for being super patient with my learning of js [for some reason the php in me still fights me LOL]…
Going to need the custom.css for this… I would imagine that using
.Module_name {
margin-top: xx;
}
or
.Module_name {
padding-top: xx;
}
would work…
THIS is a hobby…your life is your life…much more important!
This is a topic for a request from some that perhaps we could have a place to share config.js files…
SO if you have something that breaks from the norm or a config file that someone is requesting you can share right here :) [REMEMBER TO REMOVE ANY ‘KEYS’ THAT MAY BE IN YOUR FILE AND REPLACE WITH xxxxxxxxxx]
Here you go… share away.
I am a visual person by nature and thought it would be nice to see pictures with the news… so here it is… picture on the left with title and description.
At the repository is a list of news reporting that you can choose from. Be aware as this an API and you will need a key for it. It’s free and VERY simple to get follow the instructions :)
https://github.com/cowboysdude/MMM-PNews
All types and kinds right here…
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/category/7/showcase
Calendars, schedulers, traffic, weather… tons of them. with more and more being developed everyday.
If someone needs something specific they can go the request forum and ask…
As for touch screen there are modules for that too… there are voice modules…
Some requests are met, some are not. Everyone that builds modules do so for free and it takes time… even the MagicMirror itself is free… This is THE one place in my life that I can come to and talk to all kinds of people from all over the world. I like that very much :)

@Mykle1 {
module: ‘currentweather’,
position: ‘top_left’,
config: {
location: ‘Forlì’,
locationID: ‘3176746’, //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org
appid: ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx’
}
},
Why doesn-t work?
Let’s take a look here…
Remember do not post your api key for any app ;)
At any rate this returns :
“invalid API key”… so you don’t have a correct API key, where did you get it from?
Plus you had Syntax errors… this is the correct way other than API Key…
{
module: 'currentweather',
position: 'top_left',
config: {
location: 'Forlì',
locationID: '3176746', //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org
appid: 'ca7b4eb9089beeb6a71918a37f20b9'
}
},
If a webpage has Xframe deny or Sameorigin it will not show in an iFrame.
Try this: instead of running ‘npm start’ run ‘node serveronly’ and load it in chrome via localhost:8080
See if the iFrame loads then… I know this works I just had the same problem [different website not google] and loaded it that way and it worked.
When you enter your info in the config.js just put in the order you want it in… for example
{
module: 'clock',
position: 'top_left'
},
{ module: 'network-scanner',
position: 'top_left'
config: {
options
}
},
This will load the clock first then below it the network scanner… if you want them reversed then you put the network scanner first…
:)
@pauabaer Well that would have been handier if I knew that upfront LOL.
If I have time today I’ll rework it.
