Request for generic iframe extension

[OH1KK]

I'd like to see generic iframe extension on KiwiSDR. It would be an extension which does not actually do anyhing deep with KiwiSDR, just load a contents of remote webpage and show it content in KiwiSDR gui.

Extension configuration page on KiwiSDR's admin could include items like

• Extension name: rotator
• Extension title: Rotator control
• Help description: Rotator control for ALA1530LN loop antenna
• iframe URL for content: http://www.mysite.org/rotator/
• Window width: 400px
• Window height: 400px

Then result would be something like this.

With this generic extension there would not no more need to alter actual kiwisdr code to make new extension.

I am working with this. I wrote proof-of-concept extension based on antenna switch extension and it seems to work on my kiwisdr. But extension quality is not good enough to make it public yet.

Not perfect, but works for me. https://github.com/OH1KK/KiwiSDR-iframe-extension

Why did you add code in {main,ext}.cpp and kiwi.h to set “have_iframe_ext”? It never gets used anyplace.

“have_ant_switch_ext” exists only for use by the code that shows the icon in /status (and hence sdr.hu http://sdr.hu/) when the antenna switch extensions is installed.

This extensions has just the “default" .cpp code. For extensions like this I need to figure out a way to load then automatically at Kiwi server start time so you don’t have to recompile the server. That is, you just put the extension .js/.css code in /root/extensions as usual and it gets discovered when the server starts up. I think this would be very useful.

Let me work on that..

I just mimic ant_switch extension. I did not realize that those are not needed. I removed {main,ext}.cpp and kiwi.h modifications.

Okay, fair enough. I should have had a comment in the code saying what it was for, lol.

Your idea is very good. People have been asking for a similar thing to add chat features on the main interface. Maybe this will work for them.

This extension is very useful. So I think it makes sense to put it into the base Kiwi software rather than as a user-contributed extension that has to be downloaded.

What do you think?

[OH1KK]

I Agree. Feel free to adopt extension code into KiwiSDR.

Will be in v1.365
