# SecuBox Website Help/Info Button Integration Plan **Version:** 1.0 **Date:** 2025-12-28 **Status:** Planning Phase ## Overview This document outlines the strategy for integrating the SecuBox marketing/documentation website with the OpenWrt LuCI modules, providing seamless access to help documentation via help/info buttons in each module. ## Current Architecture ### Website Location - **Remote URL:** `https://secubox.cybermood.eu/` - **Local Router Path:** `/www/luci-static/secubox/` - **Access URL:** `http://[router-ip]/luci-static/secubox/` ### Module Structure All SecuBox modules follow a consistent pattern: ``` luci-app-{module-name}/ ├── htdocs/luci-static/resources/ │ ├── view/{module-name}/ │ │ ├── overview.js (main dashboard) │ │ └── *.js (other views) │ └── {module-name}/ │ ├── api.js │ ├── theme.js (optional) │ └── *.css ``` ### Key Modules 1. **luci-app-secubox** - Central control hub 2. **luci-app-system-hub** - System monitoring 3. **luci-app-network-modes** - Network configuration 4. **luci-app-client-guardian** - Client management 5. **luci-app-bandwidth-manager** - Traffic shaping 6. **luci-app-cdn-cache** - CDN caching 7. **luci-app-traffic-shaper** - QoS management 8. **luci-app-wireguard-dashboard** - VPN management 9. **luci-app-crowdsec-dashboard** - Security monitoring 10. **luci-app-netdata-dashboard** - Performance metrics ## Integration Strategy ### Phase 1: Shared Help Utilities (RECOMMENDED) Create a centralized help button library that all modules can use. #### Implementation Steps 1. **Create Shared Help Module** ```javascript // Location: luci-app-secubox/htdocs/luci-static/resources/secubox/help.js 'use strict'; 'require baseclass'; return baseclass.extend({ /** * Create a help button element * @param {string} moduleName - Module identifier (e.g., 'network-modes') * @param {string} position - Button position: 'header', 'footer', 'floating' * @param {object} options - Custom options */ createHelpButton: function(moduleName, position, options) { var opts = options || {}; var helpUrl = this.getHelpUrl(moduleName); var buttonClass = 'sb-help-btn sb-help-' + position; return E('a', { 'class': buttonClass, 'href': helpUrl, 'target': opts.target || '_blank', 'title': opts.title || _('View Help & Documentation') }, [ E('span', { 'class': 'sb-help-icon' }, opts.icon || '❓'), opts.showLabel !== false ? E('span', { 'class': 'sb-help-label' }, opts.label || _('Help')) : null ]); }, /** * Get help URL for a module * @param {string} moduleName - Module identifier */ getHelpUrl: function(moduleName) { var baseUrl = '/luci-static/secubox/'; var moduleMap = { 'secubox': 'index.html#modules', 'system-hub': 'demo-secubox-hub.html', 'network-modes': 'demo-network-modes.html', 'client-guardian': 'demo-client-guardian.html', 'bandwidth-manager': 'demo-bandwidth.html', 'cdn-cache': 'demo-cdn-cache.html', 'traffic-shaper': 'demo-traffic-shaper.html', 'wireguard-dashboard': 'demo-wireguard.html', 'crowdsec-dashboard': 'demo-crowdsec.html', 'netdata-dashboard': 'demo-netdata.html', 'netifyd-dashboard': 'demo-netifyd.html', 'auth-guardian': 'demo-auth.html', 'vhost-manager': 'demo-vhost.html', 'ksm-manager': 'demo-ksm-manager.html', 'media-flow': 'demo-media.html' }; return baseUrl + (moduleMap[moduleName] || 'index.html'); }, /** * Open help in modal (for inline help) * @param {string} moduleName - Module identifier */ openHelpModal: function(moduleName) { var helpUrl = this.getHelpUrl(moduleName); var iframe = E('iframe', { 'src': helpUrl, 'style': 'width: 100%; height: 70vh; border: none; border-radius: 8px;' }); ui.showModal(_('Help & Documentation'), [ E('div', { 'style': 'min-height: 70vh;' }, [iframe]), E('div', { 'class': 'right', 'style': 'margin-top: 1rem;' }, [ E('button', { 'class': 'btn', 'click': ui.hideModal }, _('Close')) ]) ]); } }); ``` 2. **Create Common CSS Styles** ```css /* Location: luci-app-secubox/htdocs/luci-static/resources/secubox/help.css */ /* Base Help Button Styles */ .sb-help-btn { display: inline-flex; align-items: center; gap: 0.5rem; padding: 0.5rem 1rem; background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%); color: white; border-radius: 8px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 500; transition: all 0.3s ease; border: 2px solid transparent; cursor: pointer; } .sb-help-btn:hover { transform: translateY(-2px); box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(102, 126, 234, 0.4); border-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3); } .sb-help-icon { font-size: 1.2em; } /* Header Position */ .sb-help-header { margin-left: auto; padding: 0.4rem 0.8rem; font-size: 0.9em; } /* Footer Position */ .sb-help-footer { margin-top: 2rem; } /* Floating Button (bottom-right) */ .sb-help-floating { position: fixed; bottom: 2rem; right: 2rem; z-index: 1000; border-radius: 50%; width: 60px; height: 60px; padding: 0; justify-content: center; box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); } .sb-help-floating .sb-help-label { display: none; } .sb-help-floating .sb-help-icon { font-size: 1.8em; } /* Dark theme adjustments */ [data-theme="dark"] .sb-help-btn { background: linear-gradient(135deg, #4c51bf 0%, #553c9a 100%); } ``` 3. **Update Each Module** **Example: luci-app-network-modes/htdocs/luci-static/resources/view/network-modes/overview.js** ```javascript 'use strict'; 'require view'; 'require dom'; 'require ui'; 'require network-modes.api as api'; 'require secubox/help as Help'; // ADD THIS return view.extend({ title: _('Network Modes'), load: function() { return api.getAllData(); }, render: function(data) { var self = this; // ... existing code ... var view = E('div', { 'class': 'network-modes-dashboard' }, [ // Load help CSS E('link', { 'rel': 'stylesheet', 'href': L.resource('secubox/help.css') }), // Header with help button E('div', { 'class': 'nm-header' }, [ E('div', { 'class': 'nm-logo' }, [ E('div', { 'class': 'nm-logo-icon' }, '🌐'), E('div', { 'class': 'nm-logo-text' }, ['Network ', E('span', {}, 'Configuration')]) ]), E('div', { 'class': 'nm-mode-badge ' + currentMode }, [ E('span', { 'class': 'nm-mode-dot' }), currentModeInfo ? currentModeInfo.name : currentMode ]), // ADD HELP BUTTON Help.createHelpButton('network-modes', 'header', { icon: '📖', label: _('Help') }) ]), // ... rest of the UI ... ]); return view; } }); ``` ### Phase 2: Alternative Approaches #### Approach A: Floating Help Button Add a global floating help button that appears on all SecuBox module pages. **Pros:** - Non-intrusive - Consistent UX across all modules - Easy to implement globally **Cons:** - May overlap with other floating elements - Less discoverable #### Approach B: Header Integration Add help buttons to the header of each module dashboard. **Pros:** - Highly visible - Natural placement - Follows common UI patterns **Cons:** - Requires modifications to each module - May clutter header on small screens #### Approach C: Quick Actions Integration Add help as a quick action in modules that have action panels (like SecuBox dashboard). **Pros:** - Fits existing UI pattern - Grouped with other utilities - Consistent with current design **Cons:** - Only works for modules with action panels - Less prominent ## Recommended Implementation Plan ### Step 1: Create Foundation (Week 1) 1. Create `secubox/help.js` utility module 2. Create `secubox/help.css` stylesheet 3. Deploy to test router 4. Verify accessibility ### Step 2: Integrate Core Modules (Week 2) Update these critical modules first: 1. `luci-app-secubox` (main dashboard) 2. `luci-app-system-hub` 3. `luci-app-network-modes` Test on production router. ### Step 3: Roll Out to All Modules (Week 3) Update remaining modules: 1. `luci-app-client-guardian` 2. `luci-app-bandwidth-manager` 3. `luci-app-cdn-cache` 4. `luci-app-traffic-shaper` 5. `luci-app-wireguard-dashboard` 6. `luci-app-crowdsec-dashboard` 7. `luci-app-netdata-dashboard` 8. Other modules ### Step 4: User Testing & Refinement (Week 4) 1. Gather user feedback 2. Adjust positioning/styling 3. Add localization if needed 4. Document for end users ## Module-to-Help Page Mapping | Module | Help Page | Status | |--------|-----------|--------| | secubox | index.html#modules | Available | | system-hub | demo-secubox-hub.html | Available | | network-modes | demo-network-modes.html | Available | | client-guardian | demo-client-guardian.html | Available | | bandwidth-manager | demo-bandwidth.html | Available | | cdn-cache | demo-cdn-cache.html | Available | | traffic-shaper | demo-traffic-shaper.html | Available | | wireguard-dashboard | demo-wireguard.html | Available | | crowdsec-dashboard | demo-crowdsec.html | Available | | netdata-dashboard | demo-netdata.html | Available | | netifyd-dashboard | demo-netifyd.html | Available | | auth-guardian | demo-auth.html | Available | | vhost-manager | demo-vhost.html | Available | | ksm-manager | demo-ksm-manager.html | Available | | media-flow | demo-media.html | Available | ## Deployment Workflow ### Website Updates ```bash # From secubox-openwrt directory ./secubox-tools/deploy-website.sh root@192.168.8.191 ../secubox-website ``` ### Module Updates with Help Integration ```bash # Build and deploy individual module ./secubox-tools/deploy-network-modes.sh root@192.168.8.191 # Or build all modules ./secubox-tools/local-build.sh build-all ``` ## Testing Checklist - [ ] Help button appears in module header - [ ] Help button links to correct documentation page - [ ] Help page opens in new tab (or modal if configured) - [ ] Styling is consistent across all modules - [ ] Button is responsive on mobile devices - [ ] Dark/light theme support - [ ] Localization support (if applicable) - [ ] No JavaScript errors in console - [ ] Works on both local router and remote deployment ## Future Enhancements ### Enhanced Features 1. **Context-Sensitive Help** - Different help URLs based on current page/section - Deep linking to specific documentation sections 2. **Inline Help Tooltips** - Hover tooltips for specific UI elements - Quick tips without leaving page 3. **Help Search** - Search box in help modal - Full-text search across documentation 4. **Interactive Tutorials** - Step-by-step walkthroughs - Guided tours for new users 5. **Changelog Integration** - Show "What's New" on version updates - Link to release notes ## Technical Considerations ### Performance - Help resources are static files (no API calls) - Minimal JavaScript overhead (~2KB) - CSS loaded only when needed - No impact on module core functionality ### Compatibility - Works with LuCI 18.06+ - Compatible with all modern browsers - Graceful degradation for older browsers ### Security - All help content served from same origin - No external dependencies - No XSS risks (static HTML/CSS/JS) ### Maintenance - Centralized help utility (single point of update) - Module changes are minimal (1-3 lines per module) - Website updates independent of module updates ## References - **Deployment Script:** `secubox-tools/deploy-website.sh` - **Module Template:** `secubox-tools/deploy-module-template.sh` - **Website Repository:** `/home/reepost/CyberMindStudio/_files/secubox-website/` - **Current Deployment:** `http://192.168.8.191/luci-static/secubox/` ## Questions & Decisions Needed 1. **Button Position:** Header, Floating, or both? 2. **Modal vs New Tab:** Should help open in modal or new tab? 3. **Mobile UX:** How should help button behave on small screens? 4. **Localization:** Support multiple languages for help content? 5. **Analytics:** Track help usage (privacy-respecting)? ## Approval Status - [ ] Technical approach approved - [ ] UI/UX design approved - [ ] Implementation timeline approved - [ ] Testing plan approved - [ ] Deployment strategy approved
