@goncalovsc Does the default config work, showing NYT headlines?

module: "newsfeed",
position: "bottom_bar",
  config: {
    feeds: [{
      title: "New York Times",
      url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml",
    }]
  }

What happens when you run the following in the terminal from your MM?

curl http://www.cmjornal.pt/rss

Does this mean you succeeded in installing MM given your earlier post?

@jonhcenami Have a look at MMM-pages. You can then also install MMM-Remote-Control. It’s a very useful module, but will also install a listener to send notifications to MM, as referenced in this (and other) posts. You can then use that listener to send notifications to your mirror, including to switch to the various pages you’ve configured.

@nn1mda What is the time zone of the calendar, and of your mirror?

@loonix You might check to see that run-start.sh is executable:

chmod +x ~/MagicMirror/run-start.sh

You can also try :

npm cache clean
npm install
npm start

Finally, the MM project doesn’t run well on Raspbian Lite. Jessie Full is the recommended build. Check out this thread for a few other tips.

@StacheEnthusiast You’re right. Tables don’t take styling very well; table rows (tr) insist on taking their own line, so there’s no easy way to move them beside each other. The proposed solution above should circumvent this, putting all the cells (td) into a single row.

@Fookes No problem. No, all of the above will be done from your separate Mac/PC. The directions explain how to use Terminal and SFTP Client to make changes as through you were in front of the machine. All of the apps (Text Editor, SFTP Client, and VNC Viewer) should be installed on your Mac/PC (read: not MM) remote machine.

Otherwise, you can just follow the excellent How to add modules for absolute beginners thread which covers everything as done on the RPi.

@j.e.f.f Not that I’m aware. What about injecting JavaScript with a timer, such that "if Module 2 has an offsetHeight of greater than x, hide Module 1; else, show Module 1? Otherwise, I can imagine using the module notification system to advise Module 2 has content and to have Module 1 hide itself, and vice-versa.

Hi @StacheEnthusiast, in getDom() at MMM-cryptocurrency.js:164 it creates the layout for the module in a table. It loops through, and for each currency creates a tr (table row) and td (table cell).

It looks a bit like this:

So I think if you take the tr creation outside of the loop, it should work:

getDom: function() {
    if (this.config.displayType == 'logo' || this.config.displayType == 'logoWithChanges') {
        this.folder = (this.config.coloredLogos ? 'colored/' : 'black-white/')
        return this.buildIconView(this.result, this.config.displayType)
    }
    var data = this.result

    var wrapper = document.createElement('table')
    wrapper.className = 'small mmm-cryptocurrency'

    var tableHeader = document.createElement('tr')
    tableHeader.className = 'header-row'

    var tableHeaderValues = [
        this.translate('CURRENCY'),
        this.translate('PRICE')
    ]
    if (this.config.headers.indexOf('change1h') > -1) {
        tableHeaderValues.push(this.translate('CHANGE') + ' (1h)')
    }
    if (this.config.headers.indexOf('change24h') > -1) {
        tableHeaderValues.push(this.translate('CHANGE') + ' (24h)')
    }
    if (this.config.headers.indexOf('change7d') > -1) {
        tableHeaderValues.push(this.translate('CHANGE') + ' (7d)')
    }
    for (var i = 0; i < tableHeaderValues.length; i++) {
        var tableHeadSetup = document.createElement('th')
        tableHeadSetup.innerHTML = tableHeaderValues[i]
        tableHeader.appendChild(tableHeadSetup)
    }
    wrapper.appendChild(tableHeader)

    var trWrapper = document.createElement('tr') // moved from below
    trWrapper.className = 'currency' // moved from below

    for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
        var currentCurrency = data[i]
//      var trWrapper = document.createElement('tr')
//      trWrapper.className = 'currency'
        var name
        if (this.config.displayLongNames) {
            name = currentCurrency.name
        } else {
            name = currentCurrency.symbol
        }

        var tdValues = [
            name,
            currentCurrency.price,
        ]
        if (this.config.headers.indexOf('change1h') > -1) {
            tdValues.push(currentCurrency.percent_change_1h + '%')
        }
        if (this.config.headers.indexOf('change24h') > -1) {
            tdValues.push(currentCurrency.percent_change_24h + '%')
        }
        if (this.config.headers.indexOf('change7d') > -1) {
            tdValues.push(currentCurrency.percent_change_7d + '%')
        }

        for (var j = 0; j < tdValues.length; j++) {
            var tdWrapper = document.createElement('td')
            var currValue = tdValues[j]
            // If I am showing value then set color
            if (currValue.includes('%')) {
                tdWrapper.style.color = this.colorizeChange(currValue.slice(0,-1))
            }
            tdWrapper.innerHTML = currValue
            trWrapper.appendChild(tdWrapper)
        }
//      wrapper.appendChild(trWrapper)
    }
    wrapper.appendChild(trWrapper) // moved from above
    return wrapper
},

I’ve not run this code, as I don’t use MMM-cryptocurrency, but I think it should work. Just be careful when modifying your MMM-cryptocurrency.js to only replace the getDom() function. I also don’t think this should break any of the module’s functionality or styling.

Worst case, you can always use git checkout MMM-cryptocurrency.js to revert to the original version.

@Mykle1 Thanks! I keep seeing it mentioned in the forums, and wanted to give us all a quick way to refer people to help. I’d already written most of it with all of my responses here so I decided to rearrange them into a freestanding post.

Hi @Fookes,

I’ll try. This is what I use for adding modules:

Ingredients

• Text Editor (e.g. Atom) ‑ that supports syntax highlighting, code formatting, and won’t break your code (i.e. not MacOS’ TextEdit)
• SFTP Client (e.g. FileZilla)
• Terminal
• VNC Client (optional)

Directions

1. Connect to your MM via ssh in Terminal (e.g. ssh 192.168.0.101), and in your ssh session do the following:
   a. Change directories to ~/MagicMirror/modules
   b. Download your module with git clone (e.g. git clone https://github.com/matteodanelli/MMM-cryptocurrency.git)
   c. This will create the folder for your module

2. Connect with your SFTP Client to your MM
   a. Navigate to your ~/MagicMirror/config directory
   b. Tell the SFTP Client to open/edit your config.js with your Text Editor (this can sometimes be configured in File > Preferences) or by right-clicking the file (to select “Open with…”)
   c. Copy the config options from the module’s Git Readme.md, website, etc. that you want to use
   d. Paste the config options into config.js that is open in your Text Editor
   e. Save the file, and the SFTP Client will upload the file back to your MM

3. In Terminal (still in ssh) run pm2 restart mm or npm start dev in ~/MagicMirror/.
   a. Have a look at your mirror to see that the changes took, or use a VNC Client to connect to and view your mirror

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
