Hello,

This is regarding the Time Control feature you added here:

topic14.html

We have a situation where we would like to offer two different types of time control... at the same time.

So for example, if customer purchases a coffee from our bar, we would like to give them 30 minutes of free internet access. (So we give them a ticket for 30 minutes.) The Time Control for this type of ticket would countdown immediately and not allow user to logout, etc...

Then we want to also sell tickets from our reception. This type of ticket should allow customer to logout, and "save" their time...

So my feature request is that you add the ability to specify the desired type of "Time Control" to the ticket batch when it is created. This way, we can create a batch of tickets with Time Control type desired. (instead of having only one time control type applied to all tickets and the entire hotspot account.)

I suspec this is a desired feature for any hotspot operator who gives free internet with other purchase (food/drink) but also sells internet access seperately.

Thanks!

So to be more precise in my request:

Quote:
4. The time control feature simply really only does one thing.
It displays a logout button on the landing page so your customer stop/save his time.


What I would like is the ability to decide for each "batch" of tickets that I create, if they are allowed to logout or not.

So then we could have one batch of tickets that are continous timer (no logout) which we can give to our customers who purchase a drink and get 30 minutes of free internet.

And we could have another batch of tickets that are "non-continous timer" so that they can logout when desired, and keep their internet time for another session later.

Thanks!

(I know this is a major feature request, but I think it would be useful for lots of your hotspot operators.)

This is an interesting request.
Currently, you can put a different router in each room broadcasting a different hotspot id, login page, rates, etc. You can set one to continuous and the another to non-continuous.

However, this could be done.
I'll put it on the list.

I understand from the dashboard that this has been implemented?

Maybe it's ahndy to close this ticket with the final answer so new users reading through this forum get their answer and don't get confused? :)

Yes this request has been implemented.
Each ticket can now be configured independently.

Time share, time control and bandwidth are the new features
that can be set on each ticket.
