New feature requested: custom ESP Easy main web page

#1 Post by novator » 08 Mar 2023, 03:55

Hello.
ESP Easy has great feature of "dashboard.esp". If you upload custom dashboard.esp file to ESP Easy then it replaces standard dashboard on the web link http://<IP address>/dashboard.esp
I propose to implement the same feature for the main ESP Easy page.
Default firmware has setup main page on the link http://<IP address>. But if you upload custom index.esp file, then it replaces main (index.html) page. User needs to customize ESP easy only once and then it is better to have dashboard as main page for better user experience. Admin password should not be asked for custom main page. In this case main setup page can be opened with another dedicated link.
Is it possible to implement this feature in new builds? What is the right place to request this new feature?

New features can be discussed here, to get a grasp of ideas and suggestions to properly formulate what you really intend :)
When it is clear what you want, you can add the feature to GitHub.

Have you also looked at this sub-project to extend the dashboard idea?

If you upload an index.htm file then this automatically becomes your root / main page.
