Appendix A: Portal
Customization
Overview
With
Portal Customization
, the UniFi Controller software
allows complete branding of a portal implementation,
allowing you to “white label” your wireless internet service
as if you had developed it yourself.
In order to provide the maximum flexibility in your
branding effort, the UniFi Controller software provides
total access to the portal directory on the system in which
it is installed.
This open architecture allows you to include unlimited
content while keeping development simple through the
use of plain .html (hand code or use any editor of your
choice). Testing is simple and immediate by reloading
changes from any browser.
