- Replaced the validate_safe_path function with a new resolve_path utility to simplify database path resolution in BotDataViewer, BotIntegration, and MapUploaderService.
- Updated the logic to ensure that both relative and absolute paths are handled correctly, enhancing the robustness of database connections.
- Improved code readability and maintainability by centralizing path resolution logic.
- Centralized placeholder handling in utils instead of individual function handlers
- Added db_path configuration options in config.ini.example for both the main bot and web viewer
- Updated BotDataViewer and BotIntegration classes to retrieve the database path from the new Web_Viewer section
- Set a timeout of 30 seconds for SQLite connections in MessageScheduler and BotIntegration to improve reliability.
- Added validation for the database path in BotIntegration, ensuring it is safe and relative to the bot root, enhancing robustness.
- Introduced a bot_root attribute in BotDataViewer for path validation.
- Added validation for the database path using the validate_safe_path function to ensure paths are safe and relative to the bot root.
- Enhanced error handling to log warnings when invalid paths are detected, defaulting to 'bot_data.db' if necessary.
- This change improves the robustness of database connections across the application.
- Add Flask + Flask-SocketIO web viewer with dashboard (modules/web_viewer/app.py and related)
- Add web viewer templates: index, realtime, tracking (contacts), cache, purging, stats (modules/web_viewer/templates/)
- Add integration hooks and utility functions for web viewer (modules/web_viewer/integration.py, modules/utils.py)
- Add command to launch web viewer from bot CLI (modules/commands/webviewer_command.py)
- Update .gitignore: ignore db/log files, test scripts, and web viewer artifacts
- Add restart_viewer.sh helper script for standalone web viewer restart/troubleshooting
- Add guidance and documentation for modern viewer in WEB_VIEWER.md and docs/
- Various code structure and import improvements to core bot and command modules to support integration
- Add ACL support for sensitive commands
- Example config updates
Benefits:
- Decouples monitoring/UI from bot core process
- Enables real-time browser dashboard and unified contact/repeater tracking
- Easier integration, dev, and troubleshooting
