Customizing the Pop-Up box
In order to customize the Pop-Up box, you must first customize your Welcome page. Once you have
customized your welcome page, then you can configure your custom page to use a pop-up box. The default
HTML for the pop-up box is:
<html>
<body bgcolor=white text=000000>
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=+1>
<b>Logout</b></font>
<p>
<a href="/auth/logout.html"> Click to Logout </a>
</body>
</html>
If you wish your users to be able to logout using this pop-up box, then you must include a reference to
/auth/logout.html Once a user accesses this URL then the controller will log them out. It is easiest to simply edit
the above HTML to suit your users and then upload the resulting file to the controller using the WebUI under
Configuration > Management > Captive Portal > Upload custom pages and choose "content” as the
page type.
Once you have completed your HTML, then you must get the clients to create the pop-up box once they have
logged into the controller. This is done by inserting the following code into your welcome page text and re-
uploading the welcome page text to your controller.
Common things to change:
l URL: set the URL to be the name of the pop-up HTML file that you created and uploaded. This should be
preceded by "/upload/".
l Width: set w to be the required width of the pop-up box.
l Height: set h to be the required height of the pop-up box.
l Title: set the second parameter in the window.open command to be the title of the pop-up box. Be sure to
include the quotes as shown:
<script language="JavaScript">
var url="/upload/popup.html";
var w=210;
var h=80;
var x=window.screen.width - w - 20;
var y=window.screen.height - h - 60;
window.open(url, 'logout',
"toolbar=no,location=no,width="+w+",height="+h+",top="+y+",left="+x+",screenX="+x+",screenY
="+y);
</script>
Customizing the Logged Out Box
In order to customize the Logged Out box, you must first customize your Welcome page and also your Pop-Up
box. To customize the message that occurs after you have logged out then you need to replace the URL that
the pop-up box will access in order to log out with your own HTML file.
