Have there been any thoughts on how to address this issue yet?

I tried to look at it once -- but I'm not familiar at all with the Kiosk operation, and needed more information to see how it was normally being used, and what the issue might be. Feel free to DM me if anyone can help provide that info. (On ChurchCRM chat in gitter/element)

@DAcodedBEAT is this issue fixed?

@DAcodedBEAT is this issue fixed?

I installed the newest version to see if it had been fixed and found that it has not yet been fixed. A new issue has also appeared on the list of registered kiosks. It now shows an invalid date on the date that the kiosk was registered, even after registering a new kiosk device.

Just wondering if this is a dead issue and if the feature should just be removed?

[DAcodedBEAT]

@stewert69 if anyone is willing to work on it, then it will be fixed.

To quote one of the original developers of this project (#4766):

Kiosks were never fully functional. They're pretty low on my to do list, but I'd like to get them working eventually.

[stewert69]

The family database and the event check in system with a kiosk manager are the only features I am looking for. If the kiosk is a low priority item, that might never be addressed, then I shall look elsewhere.

@m0dster / @stewert69 / @mukul4u2005 - I did some investigation and I believe that this never worked in ChurchCRM.
I was under the impression that the code was available but used incorrectly, but no - this was just nonfunctional to start.

If someone wants to implement, feel free to. 👍
