BOUNTY: Web GUI reprogramming

charlie0440

no I gave up on the bootstrap. It worked fine, but I only see it viable as a package and it effects the core. I did try integrating it as a theme but it was really hacky using loads of jquery to replace code. Your best bet is to find my last post in this thread about it with an attachment and work from there (http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,48140.msg334532.html#msg334532). Sorry its not on github so you can't even see the diff :(

Just had a quick flick through. I think the only changes in head.inc was adding bootstrap code:

guiconfig: I have no idea what I changed

fend.inc: I think I just changed the css on some divs

fbegin.inc: is where most the code was ie new menu structure, luckily I commented that one with a code block:
..........
You will find the script>bootstrap.min.js <script.. import="" line="" in="" there.="" i="" tried="" it="" various="" locations="" files="" but="" found="" only="" worked="" that="" one="" place!<br="">system_information.widget.php: I had to change the progress bars as the defaults ones didn't render properly

Sorry I can't be much help. I am looking for a little project to get involved, can't think of any more dashboard spring cleaning, so if you can think of some way to get this working with pfsense without ruining its core I'm willing to help. Good luck.</script..>

@jmelett and anyone else who wants to help. I revisited the twitter bootstrap theme today. I nearly have it sussed. Menus are working properly and are responsive. The only issue is that some tables are spilling over the window width. If someone wants to sort it out and fix it fork my repo branch newTheme:

https://github.com/CharlieMarshall/pfsense/tree/newTheme

Otherwise when I get some time I will look into it some more

Looks really interesting!

charlie0440

yeah that looks sweet. I haven't had time to visit the theme I started. Is it working ie being responsive? I believe mine had an issue with the "Edit File page" & the "command page". Are you seeing these?

c0urier

Looks really good - Will you share it with us?

I still had not seen, "File Edit page" really had an issue, but is resolved.
@charlie0440:

I didn't saw much difference, maybe my computer is too weak to feel the difference.
@c0urier:

Sure I will, just making some repairs like the one that @charlie0440 pointed.

charlie0440

can you commit your work to github so we can see/add to it

kelsen

here it is https://github.com/kelsen/pfsense .. I don't know how to work well with github, if something is wrong or missing, forgive me.

Hey guys, i'd like to know if someone tested this new interface, I've added the slide menu effect right now.

c0urier

I tested it shortly but reverted back to the widescreen theme.

Is it possible for you to add the possibility of using several boxes besides each other like in the widescreen package?

I think @charlie0440 already did it, perhaps he can pull it to my github repository.

charlie0440

yes I could add that. But really you should sort out your github, its really hard to see what you've done. I know you said your new to it, so heres what you should do:

First Delete your existing pfsense repo from github.

Second you need to fork a repo. Either pfsense master or one of my branches if thats what you've based your work on.

Assuming your cloning pfsense master go to https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense and click "Fork" this will create a pfsense repo for you. If you use mine click fork from my github webpage. This creates a copy of the repo for you to amend.

Now clone this repo to your PC ie git clone https://github.com/kelsen/pfsense.git

cd into the pfsense folder

Switch to a branch you based your work on via 'git checkout BRANCHNAME'

make a new branch to commit your changes to (git checkout -b myTheme). You shouldn't use master, master should emulate the fork.

Now edit the files that you have made. git add those files, commit them & push the files you changed (git push origin myTheme). Ideally use informative commit messages when you make commits, I like to make small commits, but your free to do as you like.

If you get that done. I'll add multiple columns.

Good luck

kelsen

Thank you for your tips.
I'll do that tomorrow.

yesterday I tried to get it working but I found it hard to see what files needed to be replaced. Might give it a shot again next week because it sure looks great in your screenshots.

I've made the changes to my repository https://github.com/kelsen/pfsense/tree/metrolabTheme it must be easier now.

Clear-Pixel

Anyone testing the Metrolab Theme?

If so, any bugs?

JeGr

I'd really like to test, but as with the GIT repository I'm not quite sure, how to install it right (and to only install the theme without any unnecessary parts). It would be a real blast, if that could be packaged and installed via the package manager…

iFloris

@JeGr you only have to look at the modified dates; everything modified yesterday (mostly in /usr/www) is related to the new theme.
