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.
