$40 Captive Portal Redirect to landing page only
-
Is there a way to set the captive portal to only redirect to a landing page without any prompts or portal page? All i want to do is push all my users to a specific web page. No management, not authentication, no disclaimer.
I'm not sure if there is a way to have it submit after xx amount of seconds? Not sure whats this worth?

And after that, what?
What you described can be accomplished via a simple port forward. At least if the destination server is properly configured (Will need to be an address-based virtual host, not name-based).
It's what happens next that might require a captive portal.
This is a feature that should be there. A couple other related things (like a redirection to a site if the IP/MAC pair already exists in the portal authentication table instead of just presenting the portal page over and over again because the user is a donkey.)
You could probably do this pretty easily at the top of /usr/local/captiveportal/index.php. The problem is catching all the cases for the myriad of CP options in the GUI. But a custom index.php that you accept responsibility for maintaining should be pretty simple. Get the MAC/IP pair, add it to the authenticated table, redirect the user.
That said, captive portals break the internet for users and need to die.

All i want is to have the Captive portal automatically forward the user to a website we designate. All without the user having to click ok or submit on any cp landing page.

And after that, what? Have access to the internet?

Yes

Then you need to modify the captive portal code.

What do you think that is worth?

The questions is actually what you think it's worth. Pick a number and post a bounty.
