Walled Garden Options

Walled Garden Options are always configured for a certain location. You may edit them via the administration frontend using the location menu. See Create/Edit Location.

Behind the paragraph title “Walled Garden” you will see a link like (https://domain/19/22/). This link has to be entered as walled garden page in your controller / router. If you open it in a browser you can see the layout even without a correct router configuration, but the functionality itself can't be tested that way. <nodisp>There are two numbers after the domain name, they are client id and location id, for example 19 and 22 respectively. Internally this is rewritten to domain/ticket/index.php?cid=19&mid=22</nodisp>

other options

Field Description
Facebook Page-ID This options shows only when Facebook registration is chosen. If an ID is entered, it will be shown on the captive portal screen as a facebook like button. To find out a facebook page id use https://graph.facebook.com/facebook-nutzer-name.
Tariff Make sure that at least one appropriate tariff exists. For Paid Service the hotspot user may choose between all existing payment tariffs (at least one is necessary), for the other registration methods you need to set a free service tariff. (Only one tariff per location is possible at the moment.)
Prevent second registration Starting from first login this option blocks the possibility to register again when an account has expired; depending on the tariff choose minutes, hours or days.
Account validity How many days a selfticket account remains valid. e.g. 7 days
Tickets If you select this option then you have to unlock every account for this location. You have to click on the rows of column (Amount) for every account in account module (Account Module).
Password This option is relevant for Default Free Service and 1-Click. When the option 'Enter and hide (Lobby-PC) is chosen, with 'Default Free Service' the user may choose his own password that is never displayed on the screen. In case of 1-Click this option means that no reauthentication will be done, because it is a public pc. As of version1.32.3 there is another option 'without entering password'. This is mainly for situations where usernames are unlikely to be guessed (e.g. keycard number).
Layout For all types except 'Default Free Service' and 'Free Service with redirect(Aruba)'. One or more default layouts to choose from. You may choose custom layout, if you have provided a custom template that is already uploaded by Synergysystems (see Custom Templates (not for Default Free Service))
Preview SMS This option only shows when you have chosen SMS as registration method. It will show the sms text according to your setting of sms templates for all possible languages (DE, EN, FR, IT, ES, NL, PT).
Token Based Access Handling of log-in via link or QR-Code Scan (independently from the current self-service method) : either 'Accept Terms and Conditions first' or 'Direct Login'. In this case Terms and Conditions should be communicated by handouts or other means, because no further interaction will be requested.
