We have deep integration with apache.
So unfortunately captive-portal/script/captive_portal_server.pl cannot
be ran.
You have to install the packetfence in order for your front end
developers to see their changes.
The good news is any changes made to any template are instantly seen in
the portal.
So as long you are not changing code you do not have to restart
PacketFence every time you make a change to your templates.
I would suggest the following setup.
Install packetfence (there is not real way around it with rewriting some
part of packetfence).
Create a new profile with a the url filter.
cd /usr/local/pf/html/captive-portal/profile-templates/<profile-name>
git init .
git add .
git commit -m"Packetfence original templates"
Have your Frontend developer update that directory with their changes.
This is the quickest way to up and running without running through a lot
of hoops.
Hope this helps

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

Subject: Re: [PacketFence-devel] Captive Portal Template Development
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.
