yoda715 · Mar 22, 2007, 6:54 PM

Sorry I forgot I had foreign money blocked. Please try again :).

heiko · Mar 22, 2007, 8:07 PM

Hello,
OK, tomorrow i will try again, so you can do a good job! :)

I go to switzerland from 11.04.2007 to 16.04.2007 for the installation of 4 pfsense CARP Clusters. It would be fine, when i can use "timebased rules" for this systems.

Is this possible for you an Scott ???

Please send alle E-mails to my business address and also in cc to my googlemail account. OK?

Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany

That should not be a problem at all. I think we will probably be able to knock it out within this coming week.

Hello,
that would be nice, a collapse of this project is not lovely…... PfSense is for my company very important. Do your best!

Now we are cooking. Scott and I will be working on this over the weekend. If you want, in a couple of hours I will be committing the gui to releng snapshot and you can update a test box to start playing around with the GUI. The schedules will not be functional, its only the GUI end of this project. You can however get a feel for how it will work and provide feedback.

yoda715 · Mar 23, 2007, 11:37 AM

Ok. To everyone who is going to update their boxes and play around with this gui, please please please make a backup of your config before you proceed. It is very possible that things will change in the gui and if you dont make a backup and we change things that could mess you up.

Please post your feedback. If you find a bug, please describe exactly what you did leading up to the bug. There is one bug I am aware of dealing with sorting days when adding time ranges. I will address this later as it is only cosmetic as of right now.

That said, enjoy :).

Also it is not recommended to put snapshots on production firewalls. Try to use them only on testing platforms.

heiko · Mar 23, 2007, 11:14 AM

Fine! I will do. Please send an info when you update the snapshot!
greetings

give the server about an hour and will have a new snapshot ready. Should be 3-23 snapshot.

I think first small bugs

When i try set time from 7:45 to 16:15 …
error message popup : start minute cannot be greater than stop minute...

When i try delete shedule pfsense show me error message :
Cannot delete Schedule. Currently in use by Permit IPSEC traffic.

cosmetics ... automatic adding leading zero...
cosmetics ... not all country start week with sunday :)

heiko · Mar 23, 2007, 3:45 PM

Hello,
it looks fine. Problems:

as Bredys: start - stop problem –> start minute cannot greater
as Bredys: Weekend Saturday - Sunday at the right, for example - First Day in Germany for example ist Monday

when i save a schedule, the next time i change to another tab and go back to the schedules, all savings are lost.....i know - alpha/beta
In germany it is a time zone changing between Summertime and Wintertime, so i cannot change all schedules manually...
I can set a schedule for a month, but in the configured ranges, i see only the days??

heiko · Mar 23, 2007, 3:59 PM

Oh, my mistake with days or months…, it works

when i click on a configured red day, nothing happens.
when i configured a range of days a line break in the "configured ranges" would be helpful

Hi,

I sent an e-mail to Scott with some ideas to the GUI.
I´m testing the schedule and it looks fine. I don´t know if it is the objective, but it would be cool if exist the possibilitie to create generic rules without inform dates, like 'work hour: MON-FRI, 08:00-18:00', 'All Time: MON-SUN, 00:00-24:00'.

It would be usefull if firewall rules show the schedule column.

Hang on here. The person that sponsors the bounty has say so over this feature but with all due respect unless you contributed to the bounty then please sit on the sidelines.

In this case you would not need a schedule. If you want a rule to be active all the time, then don't assign a schedule to it.

Agree'd. Lets NOT over engineer this, please!!

heiko · Mar 23, 2007, 7:51 PM

Hello,
i think a schedule column in the firewall rule is really helpful, because the gui is more ergonomic…
In a few minutes, i will test twice an post the results.

Hello,

"In this case you would not need a schedule. If you want a rule to be active all the time, then don't assign a schedule to it."

I think, this is OK and also ergonomic. This behavior is the same as astaro for example. No "Clickorgy" please. I agree with "Scott´s".

Bye
