380.68 Alpha 1 parental control not working- AC88U

[djrm]

Hi there,
I have just installed the 380.68 Alpha 1 version and the parental control functionality is not working.... Basically the below part of this screen where you setup everything doesn't appears and the On/Off button is not working properly as well. So even trying to move different tabs, the button can be changed to ON, the below part still missing

BTW already moved to 380.67 and working fine again

Thanks @RMerlin . Will remain in .67 for the moment

Alpha = very early, most likely buggy builds.

Alpha builds are made available for those individuals who accept the fact that those builds are very buggy and potentially unstable. Usage of alpha builds is always at the risk of the individual user. If you are averse to the potential risks of an alpha build then you should avoid them. The usage of parental controls is a good example of a situation where one might consider sticking with a final release version. As a general rule I avoid alpha and beta versions. If I see a good amount of feedback which indicates that those versions appear to be stable then I consider upgrading to them on a case by case basis. You might wish to at least consider a similar approach to future firmware upgrades.

Best of luck moving forward.

The first stage for the 382 menu system was replacing the side menu and tab generation code in state.js with the new menuTree system.

I finished the second stage this afternoon - updating all the pages that contained sub-tabs to use the new menu system. This means all the pages from AiDisk, AiProtection and USB Applications had to be updated.

I haven't done any non-bwdpi build tests yet, which means the MIPS models might not have a fully functional webui just yet.

Once I'm closer to something I consider usable, I will start an official alpha thread. Until then, I might occasionally upload some builds to Mediafire, but these are totally unsupported, and are mostly the results of my own tests where I compile all models at once to ensure there's no build breakage. Things will be still in various unfinished stages.

A lot of the work on 380.68 so far was in doing some webui improvements: merging the 382 menuTree system (this new menu system makes it trivial to do any changes to the tab/menus, while with the old 380 code this was always anightmare). The SSL certificate also got a revamp, as I reused a lot of Asus's 382 code in that area (I didn't know they were working on this, otherwise I would have waited before reinventing the wheel... oh well). This is how the new certificate management section currently looks like (this might still change):

The OpenVPN section is also getting a bit of work. I'm merging the server and client pages together (just like on stock firmware), so it looks a bit less cluttered (and gives me enough tab space in case I ever get IPSec added in there).

This is all still early work-in-progress.

I said the webpage on admin system.

I know I was trying to make a joke, don't worry. But on a serious note I didn't know 382 had an update for the wtfast page.

He fixed it.

Exactly, its not a update, compatibility issue with new webui code.

- CHANGED: Switched webui menu generation code to GPL 382 code.
This new code is easier for me to maintain.
You will need to shift-reload the webui, or flush
the browser cache after upgrading.
