Okay. Thanks for those steps. Really appreciate it.
Just one question, could you explain what do you mean by 'Create a new profile
with a the url filter'?

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

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.
