      yeah auto adding the expiration date would make it more useable in a hotspot like senerio, so if its no trouble add it

        I try to code this asap. Should be really straight forward, just afraid is not what people looking for. My solutions is very simple, single php page where you upload using file manager under captive portal. Then link to this file from login page.

            Download the following file, rename to php.

            Use captive portal -> file manager to upload the file.

            Access to the file using

            http://192.168.1.1:8000/captiveportal-register.php

            use ur own IP. Also can link from login page. No config need. Expired date can be set as needed, can hack those very easily. For eg, to set time out 1 months after register.

            I don't know how bounty works, but I believe this is for a good of community. If you believe I help you, some donation can be made to my paypal email -> mhanif@[nospamplz]gmail.com remove [nospamplz]

            Please dl the 2nd one, 2.54KB -> added config lock, forgot about that till last minutes.

              Thats pretty cool.  What would be neat is if we could enable  registration mode in the GUI to deliver this page automatically?

                That's can be done but need to hack

                index.php - put add new user as a function which register form will post all the info. Than this func will process and register a user.
                captive portal config - allow to upload html register page and save it in captiveportal directory.

                I'm web programmer so never get the concept of diff action. I think that what it called. Where after you sync with monowall you will run diff against the monowall source and it will add all the hacked stuff back.

                  Yep, I was envisioning the need for index.php to be changed.  I am happy to accept patches to make this seamless and commit.  Seems m0n0walls captive-portal efforts are stalled at the moment.

                    I think that making this application use a real SQL backend (MySQL) would make it much more powerful and scalable.. Is this a possibility?

                        aneip,

                        tested this yesterday and it seems to work great, I only have two questions. First I get the error:

                        Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/db/cpelements/captiveportal-register.php on line 29

                        It continues on and works fine just displays the error.

                        The other issue is mainly my problem not knowing how to properly set this up. How do I direct users to this page first?

                          Need to add some more checking. The error will only occur when the no user register. Once there is at least 1 user than the error should not occur. If you still got error msg even after got user please feedback here. Will check further.

                          You can put the link in login page, the page that user see when they need to login. This page you set inside captive portal GUI page.

                          bairdmj,

                          Yes it possible to use the mysql. By using freeradius you can configure it to read from MYSQL. But it not really easy if wanna do it using GUI. I think php prepaid already done most of the jobs. Just need to point freeradius to php myprepaid DB. But once you setup mysql it better to setup freeradius inside that machine too rather than inside pfsense.

                          Basically what I mean is, you need something like 'Hotspot Management System' which consist of mysql, freeradius and php application to manage those data. Than just point pfsense to radius server.

                            Are you referring to a specific hotspot management system?

                              this work great.  what im using now is pfsense for voip and now registation of new users but im using m0n0wall for my captive portal with radius thou visp.net as my database provider is it posiable to make it to where it would work like below.

                              Regisation (pfsense to www.visp.net) to login page (m0n0wall)

                              Would need the more info from the customer.
                              Name
                              Address
                              city
                              zip
                              state
                              how they are going to pay
                              and what package they want.

                                No.. I cannot find any free one.. Most of them is commercial.

                                    This would depends on visp.net API. Do they provide API to allow user registration? If they do, than this is possible. Depends whether PFSense php able to connect to their server, I think at least need CURL.

                                    Currently what I do is, call built in library of PFSense to register a new members.

                                      I plugged this into my test box and it works pretty well.
                                      It's a pretty cool start and would be nice to have in the system to build off of.  I'm willing, time permitting, to write a simple patch for the CP to enable this from the services > captive portal page if there is interest.

                                      nb
