Web interface - Custom page(s)

To add a custom web page, or set of pages, to the web interface on a Controller, go to the File menu and choose
Custom Web Interface.

This will open a dialog that shows the files that currently make up your custom web interface:

Adding files

To add files to the web interface, click Add Files. You will be prompted for a directory that contains the files to
add. The contents of the chosen directory will be added to the root of the web interface. If any filenames clash,
they will be overwritten. Sub-directories will be recursively added, with the exception of directories called
"default", "query" or "trigger", which are reserved names.

Any file type can be included, but since they are stored as part of the project file, be aware that they will take
away from space available for programming, and will increase show upload times.

Removing files

To remove a file, select the file and press Remove.

To remove all files, press Clear.

Defining the default page

To pick a default file, select the file and press Set As Default. The default page will be displayed when you
browse to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xx is the

IP address

of the Controller.

Defining triggers

Custom web pages can trigger the Controller by creating a hyperlink to "/trigger/xyz", where "xyz" is the trigger
number, displayed in the first column of the

Triggers

management window. Clicking on this hyperlink will fire the

numbered trigger, if it exists, but will not cause the page to refresh so there is no need to use Java Script tricks to
prevent the page from flickering.
