ESPRESSO PHP PORTAL v0.9

WARNING: Some countries' laws, require a logging data for guests activities from wifi hotspots. This tool does not collect any data or logs, so use it at your risk. If required in your country, install a logging system by yourself. I'm not responsible for law violations!

FEATURES

• Mac address/email authentication for free limited-time wifi access;
• Registered users authentication (support limited time login from single mac address);
• Remaining time counter for users (you can show them fake values, hiding minutes from remaining time);
• Blocking expired session's mac-address for minutes (or hours / days);
• Multilanguage and language browser detection (italian/english);
• Single customizable frontend theme.
• Mail login supports for guests, with logging useful for signing up to newsletters - NEW
• Disabling registered users login (set hotspot for guests only) - NEW
• Permanent login support - NEW

REQUIREMENTS

• Ubiquiti Unifi Controller (tested on 4.8.20 version)
• Linux Debian or Windows Lamp (tested on Debian and Raspbian 8)
• Nginx or Apache2 webserver with php enabled
• Sqlite3 or Mysql 5.5 server
• PHP 5.5 with mysql and/or sqlite3 PDO support
• PhpMyAdmin or external database client for backend [OPTIONAL]

INSTALL

1. Prepare your system installing the unifi controller, a web server (Nginx/Apache) with PHP/PDO CURL and a DBMS (Mysql or Sqlite3);
2. Put guest/ directory into webserver root (like /var/www/html) and change permissions to access www-data webserver user;
3. To increase security, move guest/s/default/db/hotspot.sqlite and hotspot.sql files to another path (like /var) inaccessible from web, but accessible from php;
4. Edit guest/s/default/config.inc.php Unifi Controller options, database settings and $GLOBALS['sessionLogging'] with random string.
5. If you use mysql, import hotspot.sql file into database (you can use PhpMyAdmin). If you prefer sqlite, set $GLOBALS['dbms']='sqlite' and $GLOBALS['sqliteFile'] to hotspot.sqlite file. For backend you can use sqliteweb (http://j.gs/CBxO).
6. Log in in Unifi Controller and set External Hotspot (from Guest Policies) to redirect to custom captive ip address.
7. All access will be logged into access_logs database table (set $GLOBALS['logAccessEnabled']) to false for disabling logging)
8. Set $GLOBALS['GuestMailAccess'] to true to enable guest authentication by email address (useful for signing up to newsletter)
9. Set $GLOBALS['showHomeRegistered'] to false to hide disable registered accounts (guest only)
10. Enjoy
