Hi,
I'm new to the WiFiManager project and I was testing it for a while, now I like to use the examples of the WiFiManager-development lib. But adding some extra parameters is not working? At least I don't find them on the config site at 192.168.4.1 . Using a esp8266f and arduino ide 1.8.5
Thanks

Which example, they are a bit of a mess right now. The fsparameters ones should work though

oh that example doesn't actually save anything it just implements custom params, you have to handle the saving, the autoconnectwithfsparameters examples should work and actually save to spiffs

Thanks for the reaction, but I understand that I have to handle the saving to spiffs. But, before that I need a way to enter the params. And that's the problem. I can't enter the params. If you declare the params in the program they don't show up on the website during the setup.

Sorry, AutoConnectWithFSParameters.ino is working. I was using the development library and the advance.ino that use the param section. In for the advance.ino is the param section not working.

Many thanks

I cannot get it to work.

Is it because I'm using startConfigPortal() in my setup()?
I only get the four blue buttons all the time.

Here's the code that doesn't display custom html:

    WiFiManager wifiManager;

    WiFiManagerParameter custom_text("<p>CUSTOM: This is just a text paragraph</p>");

    wifiManager.addParameter(&custom_text);

    wifiManager.startConfigPortal("NAME");

now im having this same problem, when i use the master branch the parameters declared in the code show but when i use the development branch they dont, i think the onl way to use them is is editing in the strings file in the param form but i dont know if they will actually save in fs using the code functions

Works for me too in development branch.
What does not work is the setSaveConfigCallback() for me so I didn't find a way to store this extra parameters in the EEPROM. There was an issue but is closed: https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/issues/714

Can you please indicate me how to do it ? ( I tried all examples I found, but I never get the Serial comment that is on the Callback function after pressing SAVE )

Maybe it's my fault ? I've tested yesterday making a git pull from your development branch.
Just as a reference this is my sketch: https://github.com/martinberlin/esp/blob/master/FasarekCam-WiFi-Settings/FasarekCam-WiFi-Settings.ino
I'm just doing:

wm.setAPCallback(configModeCallback);  -> This is called perfectly
wm.setSaveConfigCallback(saveConfigCallback);  --> this one is not

All the rest works perfectly I'm very happy with WifiManager, seriously I'm putting it in everything I make!

ok yeah it looks like if you are not submitting an ssid and setBreakAfterConfig is false then it does not get called.

if you setBreakAfterConfig(true) is should work, I will see how this should properly work.

I think I have to just go ahead and add a paramsave callback, its on the list

the problem is the docs have always said this
//called when settings have been changed and connection was successful

So when not changing wifi , its not successful so I don't want to break peoples code that assumes wifi was saved in that callback, So I think I will leave it as is and add a new callback.

Ah now I understand. Sorry I completely overseen that.
Maybe it will be great if there is also a small example of this with setBreakAfterConfig(true) in your examples section.
Great, I'm very thankful! I will try tonight and let you know- UPDATE : Could not wait! I see it getting called now! GREAT!

Hi I am new on this and tried to use wifiManager.addParameter
it seems if I add the 4th parameter it breaks the code and it goes in to endless loop and print table of hex code
