@sdetweil It is a screen scraper. I see he says he commented some line and it is working again for him.

@bugsounet Thanks bugsounet. I would never be able to maintain your very awesome module. The added functionality that you offer in yours is amazing and I would probably just end up messing up you great work. :pensive_face:

My First module, so take it easy :smiling_face_with_halo:

After my mirror crashed a few weeks ago I was looking for the MMM-News module created by bugsounet but could not find it anywhere. I have since learned that he has deprecated the module and have decided to create my.

The module provides a news feed from newsapi.org.

There are various config options and these have been detailed on my MMM-NewsAPI github page. Read the config options carefully as there are restrictions on which options can be used with which. You can also test your options on the newsapi.org prior to making your config in the config.js I have provided two basic samples.

Please let me know if you have issues with it and I will assist where I can as soon as I can.

Please note, as I am in South Africa and with the time differences it may take a few hours before I get to your queries.

@sdetweil I can’t believe I didn’t see it. I have 4 different screens open. Wrote another little program on the side to verify that the styles are working properly. Everything. Just to see now I left out the Y in Styles. Thanks again Sam. You made me look closer. Else I would still be sitting here searching.

@sdetweil Ag, you know what, if I could smack myself upside the head…I WOULD. I had a simple spelling error. I saw now that I named it getStles missing the Y. It is working again.

@sdetweil Thanks for the reply Sam.
I have tried that and that didn’t work either. :crying_face: I have just updated now and it still doesn’t work.

Hi. I am busy writing my first module. Yesterday while testing everything worked perfect, css loaded fine etc. Today I removed the module from my modules folder and re-installed from git. When I start up the mirror, the CSS file does not load. It seems to load the default styles instead.

In my main module file I have the following:

getStyles: function() {
    return ["MMM-NewsAPI.css"]
  },

I have looked everywhere and tried everything but the my CSS is just ignored and the default is loaded.

Anybody have any idea what may be wrong?

@r0211 Hi. Not sure if this will help but I noticed this on the site for the weather module:

The hourly type is currently only implemented for:
Environment Canada (envcanada) provider
OpenWeatherMap provider, and only when /onecall is used as the specified endpoint.

See the below link
Weather Module

@acdacd2 You should be able to add walk or hike but I don’t think it is catered for in the module though.

You can raise an issue on the GitHub page though. I see there is already one logged to add walk and hike.

@acdacd2 Please have a look at the module page for which activities can be added and how to add them.
MMM-Strava

@sbutt There seems to be an extra comma after the closing bracket of config on MMM-News

@sdetweil I am looking at rewriting the one module that I know is hogging my memory.
Hope you are getting better and hopefully heading home soon so you can get to your laptop again. All the best and good health.

@sdetweil Thanks Sam. I will have a read through. I only started having memory issues when using modules from a certain developer. After removing those, my memory issues have gone away.

@keineahnung123 I have been having the same issue. When RAM drops between 15 - 20% my mirror hangs so I have been disabling new modules I have added recently to see which ones are using up RAM. I have narrowed mine down to a few and have disabled them. I don’t know of a way to monitor the modules to see which ones use the most RAM. I usually hard boot, pull the plug, to get my mirror going again but I fear that may eventually damage my sd card.

@chris47803 My echos appear online just fine. Are yours on the same network as the mirror?

@ashishtank Nicely done.

@sdetweil All the best Sam. Get well soon.

@jste84 Have you looked at MMM-Assistant2Display?

@huso15 Hi. You need to add the config to the config.js and start MM. Then run http://192.168.1.23:8080/MMM-Strava/auth in a browser. This should then open the auth page to Strava. Hope this helps.
