      Hi thanks the reply yeah I have all the upper parts as normal.
      I deleted the file and tried again with a different module following YouTube and got it to work.
      I noticed some of these instructions on the module installation come with extra bits of text I don’t need to copy and paste in, I think I’m confusing myself with when I need the { } and },
      But like I say I did get a module to show up but in the config I put “bottom_right” but it shows on the top left.
      Thanks again.

    • Hi very beginners question here.

      Hi all.
      I’m very new to magic mirror.
      So I managed to get it running on the basic layout and thought I’d try my first module and with the simple dad jokes one.
      I have the folder showing in the modules folders and then 8 went to the main config.js file to enter the bit of code.

      var config = {
          modules: [
              {
                  module: 'MMM-Dad-Jokes',
                  position: 'bottom_left', // Or wherever you want
                  config: {
                      updateInterval: 60000,
                      fadeSpeed: 4000
                  }
              }
          ]
      }
      

      But it’s not working I’m getting a error when loading saying about not having a valid config file.
      I think I’m copying and pasting it in the wrong part or I’m copying too much of it.
      Could someone break it down for me with what I do with the above code on a fresh config file as I’m not actually sure where to do the curser click when I click paste is it after the last closed bracket ?
      Cheers
