Add ability to create a "coffee shop" hotspot.

It's not a simple request that's why I've largely let those forum posts slide.
I will look again.

Any implementation would probably base off nodogsplash, at which point why can't people just instal it on their own and have a go.

[stopspazzing]

You are right, not too difficult to install: https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/wireless.hotspot.nodogsplash
Wouldn't a simple plugin make things easier however?

[lantis1008]

Integrating with Gargoyles firewall and monitoring is the hardest bit.
If we accept that as unnecessary then it is largely trivial.

[stopspazzing]

How do other open source firmwares do it? Is it because gargoyle has a specific firewall that isn't easy to tweak?

[lantis1008]

Because they just tell users to install and self configure lol.

[stopspazzing]

Lol. I'm pretty sure that ddwrt and tomato USB by shibby have captive portal of some kind built in. No plugin required

[lantis1008]

I would honestly prefer we curbed this idea until the new GUI is finished and integrated.
Then I will look further.

Yes, can this be change to feature request? Thats all I pretty much wanted out of it at this moment
