OK that did it. However I did not have a Chrome icon in my systray. I had to open Chrome settings, advanced, system and disable from there. Plus I needed to add --kiosk to the command line as well. Everything is working as expected now. Thank you. I have made a few modifications to the original app but need some assistance in a few areas. I hope you don't mind if I make new threads for customization issues?
In Windows, you have to force Chrome to NOT run in the background, otherwise the full screen will not kick in. right-click the chrome icon in the systray (by the clock) and UNCHECK "allow chrome to run in the background" then the full screen shortcut should work. Also taken from another site: I create a shortcut on my desktop for chrome and then right click and choose properties.. in the "target" box, I add this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --kiosk --kiosk-printing...

Unfortunately this does not launch my version of Chrome in full screen. Fore reference I'm on Windows 10 using Version 67.0.3396.99 (Official Build) (64-bit) of Chrome. I also don't have the flag "Disable Print Preview". Not that it matters as print preview is working and does print the label with the addition of "--kiosk-printing" to the command line. Thank you for that. The issue now is getting Chrome to launch in full screen. I can of course manually press F11, but since the goal is a kiosk unit,...
Below is for Windows. Getting it set up for Mac is similar but creating the shortcut is different. It is possible in Mac to create an icon with a terminal command that will launch Chrome in the appropriate configuration. //////////////////////////////////// First, make sure that your badge printer is set as the default printer for your computer with the appropriate size for the "labels". Type about:flags in the address bar and ensure that the Disable Print Preview flag is NOT enabled (Print Preview...
How does one configure badge printing? I'm unable to get the badge to print. I'm assuming it has to do with getting the browser in kiosk mode. However it looks like Chrome and Mozilla have removed this functionality.

Initially I thought there was an issue in the program code. With some research with the new release coming soon, I found that the issue with some of the MYSQL queries was due to a change is the "standard" way MYSQL 5.7 is deployed. The MYSQL 5.7 standard is deployed with ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY turned on by default as opposed to earlier releases. (For my testbed, I used Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server). To see if the offending setting is "turned on": use the terminal to access mysql with this: mysql -u (username)...

View of the time selection
b0.85 integrates the ability to process and edit people and their times when they forget to sign out. In the Admin portal, "Whose Here" shows who are at the facility. There is a new column labeled OPTIONS and to the right shows a hyperlink: Check In. If it's the same day as when they left, you can choose to sign them out at the current time or another time of your choosing. If they forgot to sign out a day or more, the only option is to select a logout time. This will reset the barcode tracking,...
