now what do you mean by package? the one thet supposed to be intalled in the packages menue? or something else? I have modified the system_advanced.php gui page and added folder for my files. Also if you want to integrate as package, how would that work for Embeded verions? (those are my primary consern)

Look at the existing packages for a example on how to create one. Why do you have to modify system_advanced.php Can't you do all this from a seperate page specifically for your package? Also the files should go in /usr/local/pkg folder.

Then look at the scripts I use to add the miniupnpd package to the embedded image. Here the thread on miniupnpd. http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,551.285.html

And the files I use to create the custom image are located http://wgnrs.dynalias.com:81/pfsense/ Start with the sh-custom-image.sh file and go from there. You can modify it along with sh-add-miniupnpd.sh and should be able to easily add your package once created to the embedded image.

ok f**** my IE, i m retypinhg this messahe 4th time, and IE closes the window just renodmly
I will try to use ur work around for embedded version, still never seen the packages for embeded. I thik i even had a threat ewrlyeer in pf life about that

as to the system_advanced.php i used that page caz i dont think there is a need for separate page for my code and it perfecly feets advanced config page

it seams that i have to do lots of admin things for the company at the moment so i cant even look how to do the package work around…

sullrich, do you want me to just give you the files and and u'll see if you will be ok with the thing as it is now? (its only copy and paste, no config is required except to set the write permission to my own config file.)

I still have no idea what you are even up to. So politely the answer is NO.

alexus · Nov 22, 2006, 12:10 AM

ok I was trying to figure how the packages work, and I only can see how they work when they are installed…. can some one give me the link on actual package so I can reverse it to build my own package? thanks!

You can find everything here: http://pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/tools/packages/

sullrich · Nov 22, 2006, 2:38 AM

That and the master manifest @ http://pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/tools/pkg_config.xml

alexus · Nov 22, 2006, 6:13 PM

So package is actually XML file decribin location of php file and menues position etc.
If I will create this XML how can I test if it works proprerly?

Can I set pfSense to tepporarly read some other URL where my test packege is located so I can see if everything installs and works the way I need it?

sullrich · Nov 22, 2006, 6:37 PM

alexus · Nov 22, 2006, 10:04 PM

i spnt half of tthe day trying to find out how to altern the location the pfsense looks at, but i olny found the variable, and still cant find the inc file that has that variable :-(

sullrich · Nov 22, 2006, 10:56 PM

"xmlrpcbaseurl" => "www.pfsense.com",
"xmlrpcpath" => "/pfSense/xmlrpc.php",

in /etc/inc/globals.inc

Then take a look at the server side xmlrpc software. Key word: xmlrpc
