Add Info_dashboard package

[tp82d1]

This package (luci-app-tplink_dashboard) introduces a dashboard interface for OpenWrt, inspired by the user interface of TP-Link firmware. The primary goal is to simulate the visual and functional aspects of TP-Link dashboards within the OpenWrt ecosystem.

• Dynamic Icons: Includes interactive icons for Internet connection, device detail and connected devices.

  • Internet Status: Displays the current connection status dynamically.

  • Device Detail: Displays information about the router.

  • DHCP Monitoring: Displays the number of active DHCP clients in real time.

Testing

The package was tested under the following conditions:

• OpenWrt Versions:
  • 23.05.0

Have you taken those image assets from a TP-Link firmware?

[tp82d1]

yes

[systemcrash]

Of course have written permission from them to use them, right?

[tp82d1]

No unfortunately, do I need to change them? if so, should I close this pull and make new one pull request? I'm rookie in GitHub.

First of all, I want to say it's a tremendous work to have a skin written for luci. If/when the IP/copyright issues of the assets and the name in the package title are resolved, I have the following comments on this PR:

1. you're including both the applications/luci-mod-tplink_dashboard and luci-mod-tplink_dashboard directories in your PR. I'm guessing it's an oversight and you only need one of them.
2. the proper location for modules (luci-mod-*) is actually modules, so I believe it should be modules/luci-mod-tplink_dashboard.
3. The iptables is not a default package for 23.05, 24.10 nor snapshots and you declare exec access to iptables/ip6tables binaries. I believe the mod should support nft natively before the PR is merged.

There's such a thing called copyright, you can't just take assets without permission, including them in LuCI would make the project eventually liable for any legal consequences. You don't need to close the PR to update the assets, just keep pushing to the same Git branch with your updates.

Please don't - figure out how to use git. That's what it's designed for.

Okay thanks

Go grab some royalty-free vector graphics to replace the assets here. And credit/attribute any author involved.

It's worth checking if TP-Link may have published those assets with the GPL code.

Including their brand name in the name of the package might infringe on their copyright tho.

Is this related to #4185 ?

[tp82d1]

No

[systemcrash]

Looks considerably better.

• can you replace the ❌ and ✅ with SVG versions? (and other assets also for that matter)
• fix the test formalities, commit messages.
