How to customize the web UI (OpenWrt)

I have been wondering how you go about customizing the web UI on the openwrt version of PB, I tried editing the index.html page but PB seems to just ignore it or automatically generate it's own someway.

I did manage to change the web UI on the Raspberry pi version though but it seems not as easy as on the openwrt version.

Hi,
yes, customization on raspberry is much clearer or let's say 'more obvious'.
first, the index file on the USB stick is obsolete and I'd going to be removed in future.

on OpenWRT, the /opt/piratebox folder is not directly on the flash drive because of the tiny 'disk space"of the devices.
it is located on the USB stick in a file called pb_img_ws. img or something like that. can't look it up right now.

you can mount that file on your Linux system - or even the RPi - and edit the files then.

best regards
Matthias

Thanks Matthias i will give that a try

Well i mounted the pb image in linux and uploaded my new index and css files to /www/ but now when i try to load the page the piratebox just keeps redirecting like it's stuck in a never ending redirect cycle lol.

I checked error logs and it says this:

1970-01-01 00:00:55: (log.c.166) server started 
1970-01-01 00:00:55: (server.c.968) WARNING: unknown config-key: url.access-deny (ignored)

Have any any ideas what might have went wrong?

EDIT*

Oh and i am using Nagren's index and .css files from here: [github.com]

Nevermind, I must have corrupted the www directory somehow, I just copied nagrens pb.img over to the usb and now it seems to be working ok.

Nevermind everything is working ok now, You just have to copy the files from inside OpenWrt.

I Modified Nargrens theme a bit, Check it out here: [sourceforge.net]
