{Complete} Timebased Rules
-
Thanks for the comments all. Here's how the schedules will work.
You'll create a schedule in the Firewall Schedules area. This schedule will basically be an object holder for the time ranges. Then you go to each rule you want to use this schedule and select this schedule. Based upon the rule, the rule will be active during the time ranges specified in this schedule object.
So here's an example setup.
Let's say you create a schedule object named 'Schedule1', and in this schedule you add the time ranges: Mon-Fri 8am-5pm.
Next you will edit each of the firewall rules that you want to use this schedule. When a firewall rule has been set to use this schedule, the rule will only be active during the time range specified (Mon-Fri 8am-5pm). So if the rule is to Allow Web traffic from LAN>WAN, then this rule will allow Web traffic from LAN>WAN during Mon-Fri, 8am-5pm.I haven't had a whole lot of time to work on it this weekend since I'm having to work, but this week I will have more time to play with it.
This is of course all up for debate and discussion. Nothing is set in stone :).

That´s OK, but what is with the repeated weekend´s for example?
I need a production solution in two or three weeks…..

I don't forsee any problem having this done in two weeks. BTW the schedules can be repeating in any sort of way. If you need a repeating schedule for Mon, Wed, and Thurs, it can be done. Any combination can be done. I plan on having a working demo within the next few days and then give you access to it and see if it suits your needs. First Scott and I have to get together and figure out how we're going to take care of the backend of this. :)

OK, that´s fine

We will not have a problem providing an invoice. We have a new company that is 99% formed to handle these items.

Let's get together tomorrow if you will have some time. I should be able to handle the backend code if you want to tackle the GUI.
BTW: Is that date/time picker reused from the date/time picker that we already have?
-
Will do. No the date time is not reused, I wasn't aware we had a widget for this purpose. I'll look into that.

Are you referring to the date time picker thats used in the user manager for captive portal?
-
Yes, that's the one scott is talking about. However, something more interactive would be nice (like "drawing" the date/time matrix) if possible to cover a weekly schedule for example with just one "drawing" instead of clicking through all the days and setting times for each one. Makes creating schedules more fast. ;)
-
Ok I thought so. I agree Hoba, that calendar widget is not flexible enough for the needs of this project.
-
sdale and myself have started on the project.
Please contact me at sullrich@gmail.com so we can arrange half of the payment up front.
Thanks!

Greetings

Most likely he did. He is currently sick and is not checking his email regularly. He hopes to be better by tomorrow. Expect a reply sometime tomorrow. I'll keep you updated.

Sorry, I did receive the email and I am catching back up (2+ pages of forum threads + 20+ gmail threads). Will be in contact very soon.
