[Question] Facebook Like/Check-in in lieu of free wifi?
Can this be used to ask user to check-in/like my facebook page before using the free Wifi?
But this can be achieved by serving my facebook app page as splash screen? right?
Maybe. Try to replace HS_UAMFORMAT and HS_UAMHOMEPAGE by the facebook page
I have built 4 types of hotspot solution, and this is the current one:

And here's a video of what I have so far for this one: https://www.facebook.com/MavisPisoWifiSolutions/videos/353494265202403/
It's not finish yet but I'm updating it everyday I can.
With that said, I can honestly say that with just freeradius and coovachilli, you can't. Or to say you have a little chance.
However, you might be able to get it if you can make a script in relation to your goal. A rough example is when you have a success hit of the "Like" button, create a username and password then automatically logged it in. For that you will have to write your own code for Kupiki-Hotspot-Script don't have it.
If you're an advanced programmer, I would suggest to create your own radius as it would be easy to not need to create a username and password and just tell coova chilli to authenticate this device.. At least that's what I did, I'm not using freeradius but I have my own.
It's kind of interesting to implement it, but currently I don't have time.
@reigelgallarde Do you have something for my need, free wifi access for a like/check-in to my facebook app. I am ready to pay for it.
Idea of Social Login (Facebook Login) in this case:
- Hit "FB Login" button.
- Call
FB.apito retrieve user's details - Create freeradius's User Account using "
fb-$fbid", password"$fbid" - Login using
chilliController.logon("fb-$fbid", "$fbid")
Problem Statement:
- Required FB appId (which is quite easy to create and obtain)
- HTTPS (SSL) is required to retrieve information using FB API
- Required quite a lot of code changes in front/back end.
The Like/Check-in feature is very similar to Social Login
@12e1121 nice suggestion. The issue i see is that login/password are in the call. Maybe a requirement for social login could be to activate HTTPS support I agree with the code change. I feel it as huge to have a social login option. That seems to require a kind of middleware to first check the social login and then log into coova. I would like to avoid the creation of credentials within freeradius. Or maybe something linked to the MAC adress ?
This issue is not related to the script actually, it's more on the implementation of the portal. Should be addressed here: Kupiki-Hotspot-Portal
Here's what I've done with coova chilli...

I'm now working on how I can implement what op wants..
@pihomeserver, I have a problem and thought you could help me haha.
I'm working on this but got stuck. I've seen you around on node-radius, so I think you might have an idea.
after validating the "like" event on facebook. I will send a Access-Request... then on my Access-Accept, I want to use "Session-Timeout" in attributes but currently have no success.
My first purpose was about the register feature. Now it works but without node-radius. For Social Network validation i wanted to use sign on on from external sites. About your like on facebook, do you know how to check if someone made a like ? If yes then build a node middleware that will receive Coova requests, do stuff with it (check facebook ?) and send back an Access-Accept ou Access-Reject. I was able to receive request from coova, do some controls but the reply from the middleware to Coova was always misunderstood in Coova. I stop fast and use another way to work on the register feature. I will come back later on that If you want to use a middleware in coova, build it, make it run in local (port 5000 in my example) and add next lines in /etc/chilli/config
HS_AAA=http
HS_UAMAAAURL=http://127.0.0.1:5000/
You should then receive all requests from Coova. In the basic test i made, i pushed the request to freeradius and tried to push back the answer from FR to Coova.
Oh interesting... I've really wanted to build an AAA for coova... but don't know where to start... So what I did, is I've built my own radius server...
If you want to work on that again we can discuss and share experience in a dedicated ticket
