Re: [PacketFence-devel] Captive Portal Template Development‏

[Andy A <and...@ho...>]

Hi.

I tried running the script /captive-portal/script/captive_portal_server.pl and I am getting the following error

Can't locate pf/log.pm in @INC (you may need to install the pf::log module) (@INC contains: /usr/local/pf/lib /home/anuj/packetfence/html/captive-portal/script/../lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.18 /usr/share/perl/5.18 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /home/anuj/packetfence/html/captive-portal/script/../lib/captiveportal.pm line 39.

How do I install this module? or what am I missing?

Thanks James. Yes, you got that right it's just Frontend UI to take the HTML and convert them into the perl files in conjunction with Template Toolkit.
What you suggested would work perfectly for production system. My main concern is how do we do that in the development machine?
I can't expect the UI developer to have packetfence installed. Is there anyway around that?

Currently we have checked out the PF git repo from github on the UI developers machine but NOT installed (and I don't want to install PF on his local machine)
So far, I have tried to run the
        /captive-portal/script/captive_portal_server.pl script would that be step to check the result of the theme changes for the UI developer.
I hope I am making sense.

    Andy so from what I understand this is just frontend gui work.

    

    Then I would recommenced that you create a profile for each theme
    you want to create.

    Then create a uri profile filter for that theme.

    

    So now you can create have your front end developer go to the uri.

    

    https://portal-domain/<theme-name> to see the portal for that
    theme.

    

    You would then have your frontend developer modify the templates the
    directory

    

    html/captive-portal/profile-templates/<theme-name>

    

    I hope this helps

      Hello.

        

        I am not an experienced Perl developer. Could someone offer some
        advice on the kind of development setup for developing new
        template designs.

        

        I know I need Perl, Template Toolkit, Catalyst and I can make
        changes directly via the PF admin. 

        But I would like provide a front end developer some form of
        development setup where they don't have to run PacketFence
        locally and profile design development can be decoupled from the
        PF installation. Our aim is to be able to develop multiple
        captive portal themes and be able to test / deploy them to our
        production PF installation via an external CI (continuous
        integration) process like Jenkins.

        

        So far, I have tried to run the
        /captive-portal/script/captive_portal_server.pl script as
        mentioned in the README file, but I haven't seen any productive
        results.  So I am basically looking for some advice from Inverse
        guys (or anyone), about what their development setup is like for
        captive portal

        

        Thanks.
