# Portal Settings

The Captive Portal is the login screen your guests see before they connect to Wi-Fi. On this page you manage its **appearance**, **which details are required to log in**, the **legal texts**, and the **advertisement slots**.

> **How do I open this screen?** From the left menu, go to **Captive Portal → Portal Settings**.
> 
> **Note:** the panel interface is only partly translated. Where a control still appears in Turkish on screen, the Turkish label is given in brackets so you can find it.

The page has three tabs: **General Settings**, **Theme Settings** and **Advertisements**. The **Preview** on the right reflects every change instantly — you see the result without saving.

## 1. General Settings

This tab defines the basic behaviour of the portal.

- **Portal Title:** the text shown at the top of the welcome screen — usually your business name.
- **Exit page** (on screen: *Çıkış sayfası*)**:** when *on*, the guest sees the exit page after logging in (your menu, your social media links). When *off*, they are redirected straight to the web address you enter in the **Page Redirect** field that appears underneath.
- **Page Redirect** (on screen: *Sayfa Yönlendirme*)**:** only visible while "Exit page" is off. Enter the address to open after login (for example your corporate website).
- **Terms of Use:** the usage text the guest must accept at login. **Legally required — cannot be switched off.**
- **Hide User Login** (on screen: *Kullanıcı Girişi Gizle*)**:** turn on for special scenarios where the login form should be hidden on the portal.
- **KVKK (data protection):** the personal-data disclosure/consent text. **Legally required — cannot be switched off.**
- **Terminate the session when the page is closed:** turn on if you want the guest's session to end when they close the portal page.
- **Default Language:** the language the portal opens in. The list comes from the **Portal Language Settings** page (Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, China, France, Georgia, Greece, Israel, Italy, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Serbia, South Korea, Spain, Turkey).

### Social Media Links

Enter the addresses of your Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and YouTube pages. These icons appear on the welcome screen so guests can reach you in one tap. **Any field you leave empty hides its icon.**

- **Show Instagram card after login:** after the guest completes Wi-Fi login, the exit page shows a prominent card linking to the Instagram address above, plus an "I liked it" confirmation. *The like cannot be verified technically; it is reported as the guest's own statement.*

### Wi-Fi Connection (for QR)

Enter your network details so guests can join in a single tap from a QR code.

- **Wi-Fi name (SSID)** (on screen: *WiFi adı (SSID)*)**:** the name of your guest network.
- **Wi-Fi password** (on screen: *WiFi şifresi*)**:** your network password. Leave empty for open networks.
- **Embed Wi-Fi in QR codes** (on screen: *QR kodlarına WiFi'yi göm*)**:** when enabled, scanning a menu or hotel QR code connects the device to the Wi-Fi network automatically.

Confirm your changes with **Save**.

## 2. Theme Settings

This tab is where you set the visual identity of the portal.

- **Logo Selection:** upload your logo with *Choose file*. Use **Logo Size** to adjust how large it appears on screen.
- **Background Selection:** upload the portal background image. It may be cropped on mobile screens, so choose an image whose key elements sit in the centre.
- **Colour Settings:** six separate colours are defined — **Login Box Colour**, **Button Hover Colour**, **Button Colour**, **Button Text Colour**, **Link Colour** and **Text Colour**. Each is set with a colour picker.
- **Reset Colours:** returns every colour to its default value.
- **Footer text:** free text shown at the bottom of the portal, written in the rich-text editor.

> **Tip:** the **Captive Portal Preview** panel on the right updates instantly, so you can try colours out without saving.

## 3. Advertisements

This tab manages the advertisement and announcement content shown on the welcome screen. The list has **Title** and **Status** columns.

Use the **+ Advertisements** button to add a new record:

- **Title:** the name of the advert (used to identify it in the admin view).
- **Type:** *Before login* or *After login* — determines at which stage the guest sees the advert.
- **Duration:** how many seconds the advert stays on screen.
- **Content:** the rich-text editor lets you add images, text and links.

Use the **Status** column to switch an advert off without deleting it.
