I am currently using freeradius + mysql to autenticate users. I can use it to check users information like username, password, mac address, etc and it works great, but i can’t use that to collect information from the user.
What i would like to do is to have a free access where the user would enter data, such as email, age, genter or whatever, and I would store that information in the database with an incremental username (ie. user1 user2 user3 and so on).
So in short: how can i write user imput in the database ?
It sounds like you need a hotspot backend. The User Manager is made for this, there are a multitude of others out there (I have one available). If you want just a frontend to your current setup, you need to find a programmer who understands how to build the web application you need.
Yes, it is possible. It is a fairly simple web program that needs to be written. I am assuming you are using the hotspot functionality in MT. If so, it is a fairly trivial thing to build, but it is not a MT question. Also, it will require a programmer to build this for you. I am sure there are some programmers on these forums, but not sure who, or how much they would charge for such a thing. I could put one together in 4-5 hours, but a programmer may be able to do it much quicker.
SO, it’s not a matter of whether it is possible or not (it certainly IS possible), rather, it is a question of whether this is the place to look for assistance. FWIW, my last ISP, I built a system very similar to what you are after. It took me a LONG time to do, since I am not really a programmer.
This is not a big project, so i was rather looking for the “do it yourself” solution. The problem is, i don´t know where to start…
Could you, or anyone else, give me some directions or point me to the correct place to ask for assistance ?
