When you create a profile in the admin GUI you are required to create a
filter.
Under Filters add a filter type of URI.
I would recommend you name the filter as the same name of the profile.
So your front developers would only have to go to
http://portal-domain.gtd/<profile-name>
To see their changes.
I hope this helps

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

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.
