problem with xml-api/modifyacct & twiki

DavidS — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:43:20 GMT

Hello,

I was reading and the documentation said that the only input is required of the username,

but when i run the xml with the user and domain $ set, i get this output:

Code:



−



HASCGI

CPTHEME

LANG

MAXPOP

MAXFTP

MAXLST

MAXSUB

MAXPARK

MAXADDON

MAXSQL

shell

0

Required fields missing





−

Does that mean the documentation is wrong? or am i missing something

edit: here is link http://twiki.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/vi.../ModifyAccount

listsuspended XML/JSON output but without authentication

teh — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:51:31 GMT

Hello,

I need to get the output from listsuspended (JSON or XML - doesn't matter) but without authentication when called locally by root. I need to use the output in a script. Is there something that can do this or it'll be easier to just parse /var/cpanel/suspended/ in some way?

Modify Account Hook

Snipehunter000 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:33:51 GMT

I am developing a centralized service that is automatically installed for Resellers when a reseller account is created in WHM by root and removed automatically when the reseller account is terminated. I didn't have any problems using the /scripts/postwwwacct and /scripts/prekillacct hooks to setup the service for each account however the setup is dependent on the domain on the account so I need to handle the event that the domain is changed using Modify Account. I looked for a hook for that event in the documentation but wasn't able to find one. Is there one I can use?

Datas are selected in WHMCS data base, folder are created on FTP but no files...

This is the code

PHP Code:

How to use hooks?

blargman — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:08:34 GMT

Could anyone clarfiy this for me? I am going to do some more testing on it but I was under the impression I could hook into cpanel and run arbitrary commands on certain actions.

I created /usr/local/cpanel/hooks/addondomain
then created a file inside it /usr/local/cpanel/hooks/addondomain/deladdondomain

It's a simple python script
#!/usr/local/bin/python
f=open('/root/test.txt', "w")
f.write('This is a test\n')
f.close

I thought this should run any time I delete an addondomain but it doesn't appear to be. I've checked everything obvious permisisons, execute bit etc. Am I just not doing this right at all?
I did forget to run registerhooks. I just did that though and not much more help. If I run the script manually it works fine. :\

reseller-limits.yaml overselling

rking — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:36:51 GMT

I've written an in-house script to alert our staff each time a Reseller with overselling goes over their package specifications. This script loads the reseller limits using reseller-limits.yaml.

Within this file, a given reseller has the parameters:

Code:

resellerusername:

  limits:

    number_of_accounts:

      accounts: 0

      enabled: 0

    number_of_packages:

      enabled: 0

    preassigned_packages:

      enabled: 0

    resources:

      enabled: 1

      overselling:

        enabled: 1

        type:

          bw: 0

          disk: 0

      type:

        bw: 100000

        disk: 10000

My script specifically checks for any oddities and the example entry above illustrates one of them I came across today. Under what circumstances would a reseller have "enabled:1", but no settings for "bw" or "disk"?

If a reseller is bound by resources and does not have overselling enabled for "bw" or "disk", what can they possibly oversell (and have "enabled:1")?

I tried to edit the reseller through the reseller center and toggle the overselling for bw and disk, but enabled remains 1 even with no overselling options ticked.

Problem with changepackage

techteen — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:12:31 GMT

Hello all, I am having a problem with the changepackage API.

$acct = array( username => $username, pkg => $plan );
print $xmlapi->changepackage($acct);

Everytime i execute that, it tells me "Warning: Missing argument 2 for xmlapi::changepackage(), called in /home/jefftest/public_html/api/planmod.php on line 33 and defined in /home/jefftest/public_html/api/xmlapi.php on line 1050"

Any thoughts?

PAssword Updates

techteen — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:29:16 GMT

Hello,

I read somewheres on a old cPanel page that cPanel could do a call back to a remote script when a password is updated. Is this still possible, if so how can i do it?

Basicly i got a accounting program that handles everything and intergrates to everything and we keep passwords for when the customer needs our help. We want to make sure this password is updated in our DB when changed.

Any help would be appreciated.
