Thanks Derek,
I have two PacketFence environments here, one is on 4.3 and the other 4.2.1. 
I’m not in a position to upgrade at the moment.

So essentially I still need to work out why my message from redir.cgi isn’t 
showing up.

I will look into that status page for my 4.3 environment however. That could 
prove to be very useful.

Cheers,
Andi

Hey Andi,

To bump an old thread, can anybody help here?

On version 4.2.1 I have edited line 194 from the “Sorry…” message to a message 
explaining to the user that they already have this device registered and to 
contact the helpdesk”. This seemed to work for a period of time, but for some 
reason the users that reconnect to the captive portal with a registered device 
have started to see the original Sorry message. Despite the edited text still 
being in the redir.cgi file.

I presume there’s somewhere else I need to edit this. Can anyone please point 
me at this?

Refering to that old thread, you were saying that you were now using 
PacketFence v4.3 or + (now using Catalyst application to handle the portal). 
Can you just confirm with me that it is the case ?

Also, is the ability for users to unregister their own devices on the roadmap 
at all?

It is part of PacketFence with the ‘status page’ feature.
If I not mistaken, it was part of 4.3

Cheers!
dw.

Hello Andy,

I am looking to modify the “Sorry! Your network should be enabled within a 
minute or two. If it is not reboot your computer” message as in our environment 
it is always shown when a user connects a registered device to the registration 
network. On my 4.2.1 environment I have successfully just changed the string 
within redir.cgi, but I’ve just gone to do this on my 4.3.0 environment and I 
see the captive portal file structure has vastly changed and there is no longer 
cgi created pages.

That’s right. We changed from perl cgi to perl Catalyst between the two 
versions.

Can anyone tell me where the string is to edit within the file structure of 4.3 
please?

Have a look at the following file / line.

/html/captive-portal/lib/captiveportal/PacketFence/Controller/CaptivePortal.pm:403

Cheers!
