      :o

      Well, this will work the day some one writes the (PHP) code that does exactly this.

      Btw: the code already exists so that the portal interface makes your coffee.
      Launching nuclear warheads when logging in is in progress …
      So "Liking a Facebook" page must be simple ;)

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        Hi,

        I built something like this where you have to be in a certain facebook group to log in. It is (kinda) working, but

        • the portal page has to redirect to an internet portal page, so when the internet connection is down, so is your captive portal

        • the much bigger problem: you need to allow/whitelist the ip range of facebook and akamai (for stylesheets etc), and that is almost impossible. I tried to list everything, but I haven't covered everything and my workaround right now is to override facebook.com, m.facebook.com etc with IPs which are known to belong to facebook and explicitly allowed in the portal. This is a really "quick'n'dirty" solution and may not work forever
