##### DASHBOARD.README ##### A web-based dashboard can be enabled. You can supply your own index.php file, or a functional dashboard is available. If no index.php file is in the build directroy when try to install the dashboard, the installation will fail. To get started, copy the "example.php" file to "index.php": cp example.php index.php The example.php file is a good place to start if you want to create your own by adding features to your dashboard. This dashboard include a
with a button to send any URCALL to your gateway. To install the dashboard system, run the following command after you have created an index.php file: sudo make installdash Note that this will install a php web server and all necessary packages needed for the server. To uninstall, run the following: sudo make uninstalldash These installed packaged are not uninstalled by the uninstall script. It will only shut down the php web server. Likewise, the index.php file will not be erased in the build directory when you uninstall the dashboard, so if you've done a "git pull" and have noticed that there was a new example.php file downloaded, you may want to copy the newer example.php file to index.php. One the dashboard server is running, simply point a browser at the Hotspot's IP address or at http://.local/ (on the same subnet). Please note that this is a very simple server and is not recommended for the world wide web. If you want a robust dashboard accessible from the web, you will want to use a robust server, like apache, and a different index.php file. Please note that if you are tryping in a URCALL when the webpage is refreshing, the entry field will loose focus and you'll have to try again.
