YFi Hotspot Manager is the codename for the new version of Hotcakes Hotspot Manager.
It is an almost total rewrite, using new technologies and a different approach.
Those dedicated Hotcakes users, I hope this new improvements will make deploying and maintaining a RADIUS user database a pleasant experience.
To people new to Hotcakes, this version is striving to be the natural choice as a voucher and user management system.
Well almost everything was recreated.
The following is a terse list of the current improvements and features as of this writing.
There is still some serious development happening, so the list will grow.
The Viewer component now lives in the browser, with JSON data and Javascript used to populate the GUI. The Back-end uses the version 1.2 of Cake PHP.
This makes it ideal to create a stack of vouchers that will only activate upon first log-on.
There are by default three users
This is the powerfull user who can add and modify Access Providers
Username: root
Password: admin
This will typically be the receptionist at the Hotel. They gets assigned to one or more realms. Their rights can also be tweaked IE to prevent them from deleting Vouchers.
On this demo site is an Access Provider
Username: ap
Password: ap
Logging in as an Access Provider will automatically change the GUI to reflect only the rights assigned to the Access Provider.
This is a permanent user which will be billed, one who can get extra data and/or time and who's account will reset each month on a date you specify
On this demo site is a Permanent User
Username: dvdwalt@ri
Password: dvdwalt@ri
Logging in as a Permanent User will automatically change the GUI to reflect the Permanent User.
Feedback are like always welcome. I may not always be that responsive since the writing new code along with family takes quite a chunk out of the day, but they still are most welcome!
Please make use of this forum instead of the one at cakeforge, since Sourceforge offer better hosting facilities, I'll be using Sourceforge rather.
Updates will happen ad-hock, but I will post on the forum when new features has been added / bugs has been fixed.
