freeradius dialupadmin development invitation
Hello all Users, Freeradius dialupadmin is a very nice and native GUI for Freeradius 2.2. However, it does not work any more after php version 5.3. I want to start an invitation for raising a fund for developing it so that it can still work up to php 5.6, and also redesign its GUI to have a modern outlook. I think a few hundred US$ will do. If any body is interested, we can share the expense. 10 participants are cheap enough to complete this project. Yours Faithfully, Timmy
Hi Userlist, while I appreciate the enthusiasm, I think the basics like writing stuff from WebFrontEnd to AnySQL Database (don't know how LDAP works) are everywhere on the Web, your entries will just have to match the things FreeRadius looks for in the DB. There are a few other WebBased User Management Systems, like DoloRadius and stuff like that. Also,I do not know how much this would be appreciated, since you will have to provide a webserver, which you will have to shutdown to general public access b/c normaly any admin would want to be the only one who has access to the DB. And those people usually have a GUI for DB Access, which is more or less like a web interface. If you are starting this, I think a plugin for TYPO3 , Joomla or other CMS would be more appreciated. Hope I didn't damper your enthusiasm, regards , Flo. -------------------------------------------- Timmy <moonyhk@netscape.net> schrieb am Fr, 21.8.2015: Betreff: freeradius dialupadmin development invitation An: freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org Datum: Freitag, 21.

Better than SQL for the first two As.

Which hasn't received serious updates in years: https://www.openhub.net/p/daloradius.

As you would with other management tools?

A CMS, really?
I want to start an invitation for raising a fund for developing it so that it can still work up to php 5.6, and also redesign its GUI to have a modern outlook.
Or you could just do the work?

Or one person with a clue... It's not getting bundled back in with the server, but if someone wants to update it to work with modern PHP i'm all for that. The changes aren't significant to get it functional again. -Arran

If more guys join, I can post this project on Elance to invite developers to bid. If 8 more guys join, we can start ;)
It's on github for anyone to contribute but there's been very little activity and some of that was wrongly submitted. I might have a look at the php 5.x issue. Should be fairly trivial. alan

alan Hi Alan, You can't say the redevelopment is trivial. The original author said dialupadmin could be improved so as to be able to manage multiple mysql instances.
The current GUI can also be improved. Some functions are not placed correctly. No confirmation for deleting account etc. Side menu is rigid. It can be improved greatly.

Alan didn't say that. He said fixing the problems getting it working with PHP 5.x should be trivial. Matthew -- Matthew Newton, Ph.D. <mcn4@le.ac.uk> Systems Specialist, Infrastructure Services, I.T.

There are some existing patches already to get it to work with more recent PHP versions (see https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/dialup-admin/pull/5/files or https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=711486#22). Not that I would say a solution that uses `extract` is a good solution, but it may work. -- Herwin Weststrate
