New Login Page

[martinch]

Hey guys, apologies I haven't been current with my ViCiDial postings I'm dead busy with my day job at the minute. I hope to get back into the swing of things soon.

So you guys may or may know but I recently got stuck into my ViCiDial fork, mDial, which I recently wrote the manifesto for and is under AGPL and one of the things I was working on was a reimagining of the ViCiDial login page. Was wondering what guys you think, would you like to see that in ViCi perhaps? Happy to donate the code if there is any desire for it. I might donate code any way Matt if you like it but yeah. The option allows custom backgrounds to be set at the admin level (Agent Screen Colors). 100% compatible with existing login functions. Thanks guys.

Cheers Matt I'll be submitting the code on Mantis for review if you're interested in it

I added a few options since the last commit on mDial;

- Added a gallery option on the Admin Panel to allow administrators to preview the image before selecting it.
- Added a random option where a random option will be displayed on login.

Cool uploaded the patches to Mantis -> http://www.vicidial.org/VICIDIALmantis/view.php?id=1482

I've added a few royalty-free wallpaper images you can mess around with or you can get your own at https://unsplash.com. If the piece ever sees a release, users will be able to use a variety of sources for their wallpapers including company branded ones.

Reminds me of the old screen savers

Yes, as long as they are royalty-free and not overly complex we'd love to include them in VICIdial.

Yeee the old screensaver times

Sure. Yeah, not as complex as you may think...here's a glimpse into the animated background code...it's just injecting a CSS file and a div into the main body so from a ViCi perspective, hardly any code is needed...just the settings from the database schema. CSS, the almighty CSS, does all the hardwork. It's amazing what can be done in CSS these days! CCS 3 <3
