[Chilli] [chilli] How to modify status page content for blocking user

[Le Tran Dat]

Hi All,

I am trying to implement a feature that will block clients base on
their MAC addresses. I allow those clients to log on into the captive
portal and show a message "You are blocked, please contact
administrator" in the status page. Then I will logoff the client in
question.

I've already done the part of allowing a client to logon and logoff it
right after that if the client's MAC address is in blacklist using
chilli_query logoff.

Now, I want to show the message on status page. I am new to
coovachilli so I have no knowledge about how to do it. I guess I can
check the authorize part in coovachilli's source code.
And do the following steps:

resp.message = ""
if authenticate_pass then
    if mac_is_blocked then
       resp.message = "you are blocked, Please contact administrator"

Here the resp.message will be present in status page.
ChilliLibrary.js
chilliController.processReply = function ( resp ) {

        if ( typeof (resp.message)  == 'string' ) {

                /* The following trick will replace HTML entities with
the corresponding
                 * character. This will not work in Flash (no innerHTML)
                 */

                var fakediv = document.createElement('div');
                fakediv.innerHTML = resp.message ;
                chilliController.message = fakediv.innerHTML  ;
        }


I don't know if it can work or not. Or you people can suggest me any
other approaches that can help to show the message to blocked clients.

Thanks,
Dat
