UniFi HotSpot Manager

This is a HotSpot Manager like the default one of UniFi Ubiquiti, but this one has some advantages and is easier to use.

Features

• allow different Usergroups via Voucher prefixes with just one Ubiquiti Controller ;)
• own user access control, no need for users to get a real admin account on the Ubiquiti Controller
• variable printing, creating, filtering and deleting of vouchers
• deleting multiple vouchers with one click just works, but the needed time is about 0.8 seconds per voucher :(
• blocking, unblocking and re-connecting of users (the default HotSpot system misses these functions, but the admin interface has, yes I know... but this is not for users)
• ... a lot more, this is just the first writing of that README

Included libraries

• UniFi PHP API, by Erik Slooff
• Gettext PHP by Oscar Otero
• FPDF for voucher creation

Used libraries via CDN

All CDN libraries I am including are using the MIT license, so I use it also ;)

• DataTables - jQuery plug-in for all the tables
• Bootstrap - the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript framework
• Bootstrap X-editable - used for editing within the DataTables

• then go to your private path an take a look into the file config.sample.php
• modify that file and rename it to config.php
