Newbie-ish question

[ChrisRG711]

I see the samples showing the carousel config. In the slides specific examples it shows just list the names of the modules. Does the rest of the config.js still contain the full list and config of each module or is that done differently? anyone have a config.js they can black out sensitive parts and share?

Thank you in advance. I appreciate the help

Here is a basic config.js. Is that helping?

// MagicMirror² config file
let config = {
  address: "localhost",
  port: 8080,
  basePath: "/",
  ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],
  modules: [
    {
      module: "clock",
      position: "top_left"
    },
    {
      module: "alert"
    },
    {
      module: "updatenotification",
      position: "top_bar"
    },
    {
      module: "newsfeed",
      position: "top_left",
      config: {
        feeds: [
          {
            title: "tagesschau.de",
            url: "https://www.tagesschau.de/xml/rss2/"
          }
        ]
      }
    },
    {
      module: "weather",
      position: "top_right",
      header: "Wetter in ***",
      config: {
        appendLocationNameToHeader: false,
        decimalSymbol: ",",
        weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
        type: "forecast",
        location: "***",
        locationID: "***",
        maxNumberOfDays: 8,
        apiKey: "***",
        carouselId: 1
      }
    },
    {
      module: "weather",
      position: "top_right",
      config: {
        appendLocationNameToHeader: false,
        decimalSymbol: ",",
        weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
        type: "current",
        location: "***",
        locationID: "***",
        maxNumberOfDays: 8,
        apiKey: "***",
        showWindDirection: false,
        carouselId: 99
      }
    },
    {
      module: "MMM-Carousel",
      position: "bottom_bar",
      config: {
        transitionInterval: 12000,
        showPageIndicators: true,
        showPageControls: false,
        ignoreModules: ["updatenotification", "alert", "compliments", "clock"],
        mode: "slides",
        slides: {
          "Slide  1": [{ name: "weather", carouselId: 1 }],
          "Slide  2": [{ name: "weather", carouselId: 99 }, { name: "newsfeed" }],
        },
        keyBindings: {
          enabled: true,
          mode: "DEFAULT",
          map: {
            NextSlide: "ArrowRight",
            PrevSlide: "ArrowLeft",
            Slide0: "ArrowUp",
            Pause: "ArrowDown"
          }
        }
      }
    },
    {
      module: "MMM-KeyBindings",
      config: {
        enableKeyboard: true,
        evdev: { enabled: false }
      }
    }
  ]
};

/** ************* DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW */
if (typeof module !== "undefined") {
  module.exports = config;
}

@ChrisRG711 Do you still have this issue?

[ChrisRG711]

No that helped. I do have a question about the module. In all the examples it shows slides: { but that never works for me. I have to use slides: [

[KristjanESPERANTO]

I have to use slides: [

That was the case with the old module from barnabycolby.

What do you get when you enter git remote -v in the terminal when you are in the directoy of this module?

It should return the url https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-Carousel like this:

kristjan@debian:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Carousel$ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-Carousel (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-Carousel (push)

[ChrisRG711]

that is what i got. But as per normal. Its working now with the [] the only issue is that its not respecting the slides. I have the following as config. I have not had any other problems this has been working AWESOME. I love the module. I just keep trying to get the right mods on the right slides etc. But now it does not do separate slides. It puts slides 1 and 2 on the same slide and stays there. I am sure its something dumb and small i did, Sorry about that. you have been very helpful { module: 'MMM-Carousel', config: { transitionInterval: 10000, position: "bottom_bar", ignoreModules: ['alert'], mode: 'slides', slides: [ ["clock","MMM-SpaceLaunchNow",'MMM-WiFiPassword','internet-monitor',"MMM-RAIN-MAP",'MMM-NASA'], ['UpcomingBirthdays','MMM-WiFiPassword'] ] } },

[KristjanESPERANTO]

The problem is that you placed the position inside the config, but it has to be outside. Try this simple config:

        {
            module: "MMM-Carousel",
            position: "bottom_bar",
            config: {
                transitionInterval: 10000,
                ignoreModules: ["alert"],
                mode: "slides",
                slides: [
                    ["clock", "weather"],
                    ["compliments"]
                ]
            }
        },
