Frederix External Login
This plugin allows any WordPress page to act as an External Login page for CloudWiFi.
It handles the entire flow: 1. Login: Displays a login button that redirects the user back to the hotspot. 2. Success: Displays a success message after authorization. 3. Error: Displays detailed error messages if the login fails (e.g., timeout, license exceeded).
Features:
* One Shortcode: Use [frederix_external_login] for everything.
* Automatic Mode: Automatically detects if it should show the Login button, Success message, or Error message based on the URL parameters.
* Flexible Configuration: Use different pages for Login/Success/Error if desired.
* Customizable Messages: Change the button text and messages via shortcode attributes.
* Secure: Validates and sanitizes all inputs.
Shortcode Options
You can customize the shortcode with the following attributes:
mode: Controls what the shortcode displays.auto(default): Automatically switches based on URL status (status=successorstatus=error).login: Forces the display of the login button.success: Forces the display of the success message.error: Forces the display of the error message.

Examples
Standard Setup (One Page for everything): [frederix_external_login tos_url= »/agb » privacy_url= »/datenschutz »]
Custom Button Text: [frederix_external_login text= »Start Free WiFi » tos_url= »/agb » privacy_url= »/datenschutz »]
Separate Error Page: If you want a dedicated error page with a custom message: [frederix_external_login mode= »error » error_message= »Something went wrong. Please ask at the reception. »]
Dynamic Styling
The plugin automatically adds CSS classes to the main container based on the Hotspot parameters. This allows you to style the page differently for each location.
Classes added:
* fhk-hotspot-{hotspotId}
* fhk-location-{locationId}
* fhk-external-{externalId}
Example CSS: If you want a green button for Location 123 and a blue button for Location 456:
`css
/* Location 123 – Green */ .fhk-location-123 .frederix-login-button { background-color: green; }
/* Location 456 – Blue */
.fhk-location-456 .frederix-login-button {
background-color: blue;
}
