Navigation menu now jumps to selected site but allows rotation to continue.
The pause button remains the only control for stopping rotation.
Changes:
- Removed manualNavigationMode=true from navigate-to-tab handler
- Removed inactivityExtensionUntil=0 (related to manual mode)
- Updated logging to reflect that rotation continues
Users can now use the navigation menu to quickly jump to any site while
keeping rotation active, or use the pause button if they want to stop on
a specific site.
Resolved ReferenceError: showView is not defined when clicking sites in nav menu.
Changes:
- Changed showView() to attachView() - the correct function name
- Added manualNavigationMode=true to stop auto-rotation on manual navigation
- Added markActivity() to reset inactivity timer
- Added inactivityExtensionUntil=0 to clear extensions
- Added additional logging for debugging
- Added error logging for invalid view indices
This makes navigation menu behavior consistent with nextTab() and
previousTab() functions throughout the codebase.
Resolved ReferenceError: config is not defined in the 'get-config' IPC handler.
Changes:
- Modified IPC handler to read config.json directly using fs.readFileSync
- Added proper error handling with try/catch block
- Added fallback to send empty config if file doesn't exist or can't be read
- Added console logging for debugging config transmission
This fixes the JavaScript error that was displaying on screen and prevents
the navigation menu from loading sites properly.
Fixed Issues:
1. Icon rendering - Replaced emoji 🔑 with SVG key icon for better compatibility
2. JavaScript errors - Added try/catch blocks throughout navigation menu code
3. Sites not loading - Fixed IPC communication with extensive error logging
4. Menu becoming part of rotation - Ensured proper overlay with z-index and pointer-events
5. Missing auto-dismiss - Added 30-second timeout that auto-closes menu
6. Improved close button positioning - Moved to top-right with better visibility
Technical Changes:
- Changed navButton.innerHTML from emoji to SVG path for key icon
- Added NAV_MENU_TIMEOUT constant (30000ms)
- Added navMenuTimer variable for timeout management
- Enhanced createNavMenu() with console logging and error handling
- Fixed content positioning with 'position:relative'
- Added pointer-events:auto to ensure menu captures events
- Enhanced showNavMenu() with try/catch and 30-second auto-dismiss timer
- Enhanced hideNavMenu() with timer cleanup and error handling
- Enhanced toggleNavMenu() with logging
- Fixed loadSitesIntoNav() with error handling
- Enhanced config-data IPC handler with extensive logging and validation
- Changed siteBtn.innerHTML to siteBtn.textContent to prevent XSS
- Added user-select:none to prevent text selection on buttons
- Added stopPropagation to content to prevent background clicks from closing
- Fixed close button event handler with proper logging
Console Output:
- All navigation menu actions now log to console with [NAV] prefix
- Helps diagnose issues: button clicks, menu show/hide, config requests, site loading
- Error messages clearly identify failure points
This should resolve all reported issues with the navigation menu.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed virtual console menu display (now checks both getty and X11 DontVTSwitch)
- Fixed complete_uninstall to properly remove LMS/Squeezelite services
- Fixed full_reinstall to clean all addons and settings (except saved VPN/VNC)
Named Websites Feature:
- Added 'name' field to config.json schema for all sites
- Added NAMES array throughout codebase for site name management
- Added update_site_names() function with menu option (Sites → option 3)
- Names prompted during site addition (both new installs and adding sites)
- Site listings now display as "Name" - URL when name is provided
- All management functions (add, update, delete, reorder) handle names properly
- Names fully integrated with save/load config operations
Navigation Menu Feature:
- Added enableNavButton config option (defaults to true)
- Added navigation button at top-left (purple key icon 🔑)
- Button shows on user interaction (same logic as pause/keyboard buttons)
- Navigation menu overlay with 2-column layout:
* Column 1: Clickable list of all non-hidden sites (uses names if available)
* Column 2: Touch gesture cheat sheet and keyboard shortcuts reference
- Menu accessible via key icon click
- IPC handlers added: get-config and navigate-to-tab
- Menu excludes hidden sites (duration === -1) as requested
- Optional feature configurable via Optional Buttons menu
README Updates:
- Updated all version references to 0.9.8
- Updated installation commands to use install_kiosk_0.9.8.sh
