I cant load 3rd party modules to my smart mirror.

Brenj

So to be clear, I am not the greatest at coding software and stuff like that. Im doing this for my senior project. I am trying to add MMM-NFL by fewieden to my smart mirror. Its just the formatting wont work and I am so frustrated with it.

            {
                    module: 'MMM-NFL',
                    header: 'NFL Scores',
                    position: 'bottom_right',
                    config: {
                                 colored true
                                 reloadInterval 1800000
                    }

I tried my best with the coding it just wont work. I dont know if I accidentally edited other parts of the ‘nano config/config.js’. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Brenj

{
	module: 'MMM-NFL',
	header: 'NFL Scores',
	position: 'bottom_right',
	config: {
		colored: true,
		reloadInterval: 1800000
	}
},

You missed some commas and a }

@yawns thanks so much for responding. I copied exactly what you said but it still wont work UGH.

I think it has something to do with the ending of the coding.

      {
                    module: 'MMM-NFL',
                    header: 'NFL Scores',
                    position: 'bottom_right',
                    config: {
                            colored true,
                            reloadInterval 1800000
                    }
            },
    ]

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

I literally dont know whats wrong with this, I may just have to start the whole thing over.

Thanks again,
Brenj

@Brenj you are missing a :

between colored and true
And between
Reloadinterval and 18000000

Brenj

I did that and still nothing. I’ve been trying to figure out this for the past few days this is making me mad, lol. But thanks for your guys’ help. I might just start over, it would probably make it easier. Do you guys by chance know how to start the coding over? Again thanks for your help, I feel like im asking too much, sorry.

Download the sample config file: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/master/config/config.js.sample

Save it to your pi into the config folder, delete/rename the existing config.js and rename the downloaded file to config.js

Then start over again and try adding the new module. Do not delete the rest of the content

You would probably benefit from reading this:

If you have config file copy config.sample
Start again copy the sample file to your documents and downloads.
Remove sample from the configuration file
Start again
Remember start with {
Code
Ends in },

It’s not always easy to see what’s wrong as the code you are using could be wrong .

as l’ve not used this module l cannot say
Keep trying your get their in the end
If it go wrong it’s easy to start again.
