@gekberlin Yes. Change maxAllowed to 5. Put it in MMM-Slack.js under the getDom: function() where it creates the html elements. I also noticed that it didnt work as expected where I had (maxCount -1) and (maxAllowed - 1). I removed the -1 and it worked like a charm.

@mediathreat I think it is possible, as long as the images have some kind of html address or similar, but I have no idea how to do it. I’ve moved on to other projects now :) almost finished an arcade cabinet :D

@mediathreat here is the correct link to create your token: https://api.slack.com/custom-integrations/legacy-tokens

@mediathreat we followed the link in the readme https://api.slack.com/tokens and from there we created our own app. I’m sorry I can’t find where I found the token in there, you will have to try and error your way :) I will keep looking some but can’t guarantee I find anything. Slack API pages are a mess imo. And no you don’t need the leading # in the config file.

@gekberlin Yes.

currentMessage = emoji_replace(currentMessage);

will not work as emoji_replace is my own function for replacing :smiley: with an emoji.
so just get rid of that line and it will work.

And you will also have to instantiate currentMessageId and currentMessageCount globally. I.e.

var currentMessageId = 0
var currentMessageCount = 0

at the top of the js file.

@ninjabreadman thanks for the answer but this will only show the latest message. I solved it in a rather long but still nice way. The idea is to show the latest 10 messages and when a new message is sent it will show it instantly.
currentMessageCount and currentMessgeId are global variables instantiated to 0. emoji_replace is my own function to include emojis in the message.

if (currentMessageCount < this.slackMessages.length || currentMessageCount == 0){ 
	currentMessageId = 0;
	currentMessageCount = this.slackMessages.length;
}
var maxAllowed = 10;
		
var topMessages = this.slackMessages.slice(0, (maxAllowed - 1));
		
var maxCount = Math.min(maxAllowed, topMessages.length);
		
if (currentMessageId == maxCount - 1) { currentMessageId = 0; }
		
var currentMessage = topMessages[currentMessageId].message;
currentMessage = emoji_replace(currentMessage);
messageElement.innerHTML = currentMessage;
currentMessageId ++;

if(this.slackMessages.length > 0) {
     var randomMessageId = Math.floor(Math.random() * this.slackMessages.length);
     var randomMessage = this.slackMessages[randomMessageId].message;

I want just ‘x’ instead of the ‘randomMessageId’ on the last line and can’t figure out how to do it.

I am trying to get rid of the randomiser in MMM-Slack module. I want the messages to show in order from oldest to newest. I’m sure I’m approaching it the wrong way but I just can’t get it to work without the randomiser. Pls help!
