Hi Jeffery,

Thanks for your work - it works like a charm!

I don't have any experience with shell scripts, so it took me a while to figure exactly how to install your scripts.

If I understand 'ln' and what you're trying to do correctly, I belive you mixed up the paths in line 16-17 of the setup script. So:

ln -s network /tmp/network_config/network --> ln -s /tmp/network_config/network network
ln -s wireless /tmp/network_config/wireless --> ln -s /tmp/network_config/wireless wireless

At least that works for me, whereas the original produced an error.

Now, I don't know which version of OpenWrt you wrote this for, but the workaround to direct LuCI configuration changes to one of the three stored configurations, doesn't seem to work in Barrier Breaker 14.07 - LuCI simply overwrites the symbolic links with the updated configuration files.

With that in mind, I'm thinking of modifying the scripts, so that the configuration is actually copied when the switch change, rather than updating the symbolic links. The goal would be be able to reconfigure using LuCI, yet being able to preserve the changes in the current config. A couple of questions spring to mind:

1. Is there a particular reason why you chose symbolic links, rather than copying the actual files? Do you see a problem with overwriting current config file as you change configuration, instead of updating the symbolic links?

2. In order to capture configuration changes, I would need to trigger a copy of the config files (to the folder of the current config), when LuCI updates the files, but I'm not aware of how to do that. Any ideas?

Hope to hear from you and thanks again, for all the groundwork! :)

After putting my questions into writing, I had a few ideas on my own and have made a fork of your gist.

I have solved by adding a 'commit' script, that is triggered using the WPS button. It copies the current network config, to the subfolder corresponding to the sliding switch's current position.

Thanks!

Hello,

I find this approach a bit too complex compared to the scripts explained here:
http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Features/The-One-Watt-Server

Could you let me know any disadvantage of the one I linked?
Regards

Somehow i cannot get this setup to detect "ap" pressed.. Any hints ? i just used your scripts, except that in /etc/config/system , i just log the actions , i will define other handlers as needed . Like so :

config button
option button '3g'
option action 'pressed'
option handler 'logger 3g selected'

config button
option button 'wisp'
option action 'pressed'
option handler 'logger Wisp selected'

config button
option button 'ap'
option action 'pressed'
option handler 'logger AP selected'

Thanks !!

Hello
I clicked the mjpg-streamer on my tl-MR3020 with the C270 camera image is tremento and after a few minutes out of the screen someone has gone through this problem
Here is the video with the defect

Thank you all

Not sure if folks are still using these scripts, but I wrote a package that makes detecting slide switch changes easier: slide-switch
