Thingiverse objects not displayed
mot-liw opened this issue · 9 comments
The MMM-Thingiverse module on my system is not displaying the items from Thingiverse, I am not certain why.
The Pi 4b is running MM2 v2.14.0 and MMM-Thingiverse v1.1.1.
I am debugging with server only mode; in the browsers debug window it shows that the info/data from Thingiverse is being received, but it is not being displayed; I have also run MM2 in standard mode and no Thingiverse objects are displayed.
I have tested to insure my Thingiverse appKey is valid, as well as the browser debug data shows Thingiverse objects being received.

Do you have any ideas why my system is not displaying the Thingiverse objects?
The config file attached is one that I removed all my other modules from, to check if there were some problem with other modules blocking things from being displayed.
modules: [
{
module: "clock",
position: "top_center"
},
{
module: 'MMMM-Thingiverse',
config: {
appToken: '######################################',
//updateinterval: 60601000,
//thingCount: 50,
//numThingsDisplayed: 5,
},
},
]
The attached screen shot shows the browser display and that Thingiverse objects are being received by the browser.
myconfig.js.gz
@mot-liw hmmmm this is very peculiar...
While you have dev tools open, can you see if the elements are being created properly in the html element inspector?
answers in reverse
the config is using the default update interval at this time, which looks to be 60000 (every 60 seconds)
I see this in the element inspector
<script type="text/javascript" src="modules/MMM-Thingiverse//MMM-Thingiverse.js"></script>I am not certain if this is what you are asking about to determine if the element is being properly created?
There is an odd '//' in the path, at least it's odd to me.
This is from the Element>Console

@mot-liw Hmmm I'm running MagicMirror V2.14 on my Ubuntu 20.04 Laptop.
Sorry, I was referring to this, are you able to see the HTML elements in the Element tab of the Dev Tools?
This will help me determine whether or not the elements are being created.
Gotcha, it looks like they are not, I see no elements in the bottom bar container class.
@mot-liw i could be missing something but did you assign a position to the module? I don't see it in your initial comment config
I did not assign a position, I did not see the position attribute specified in the module's readme, so I thought that it was defaulting to the bottom bar. In my config I have commented out all module attributes except the appKey, trying to keep it simple. I see no errors in the console log that would indicate that it is unhappy with something.
@mot-liw ahh this is fair! I will update the readme to be more explicit.
If you assign it a position like so
modules: [
{
module: "clock",
position: "top_center"
},
{
module: 'MMMM-Thingiverse',
position: "bottom_bar",
config: {
appToken: '######################################',
//updateinterval: 60601000,
//thingCount: 50,
//numThingsDisplayed: 5,
},
},
]
Do you see the Thingiverse objects now?
Oh yea!, yes the fact that I had not provided a position was the issue, aka a skinware issue, I should have considered the position. Yes, a documentation update would be beneficial.
thx for your assistance
