Hi ardittristan, I just tried your webviewer module, and I like it! Something that would make it perfect for me would be if I would have a button "Show to Players" on top (like e.g. with Journal entries) and could thus have a predefined web view pop up on the players screen (ideally I can select which players see it). The icing on the cake would be if the players would even see if I change the webpage view, like if I would do a screen sharing. This would e.g. allow me to pan and zoom on a map and the players can follow me. Cheers Caerandir

  1. Showing to players is already possible via the top button of the webviewer menu
  2. Selecting which players you send it to is a good idea, I'll add it when I have time!
  3. Changing players view if you change view is sadly not possible because of security policies in browsers (you can't see anything except the initial url in iframes)

OK, thanks for the feedback! Keep up the good work! Remark on "Showing to players": It is clear that I can share any URL via this function by pasting/typing a URL, but it would be cool if I could also share pre-configured URLs, i.e. I set up a WebView following your scheme [\, <button/window name>, <font awesome icon name (optional)>, <compatibility mode (optional)>], which then gets an Icon in the GM HUD. It would be cool if I could open the webview via HUD, and then click "Show to players" (like with a journal entry) and the preconfigured URL shows up at the player's screen (as if I had send it by pasting it in the box like already possible).

That's a good idea! I'll add a button to the webviews to do that!
