Trouble Making Addons..

[jhyland87]

Hey guys, I am trying to make my own addons for cpanel, I dont need to be able to manage them via WHM, just a cpanel link that will go to its own page within cpanel, some of them will just contain links to other sites, others will be functional PHP scripts.

Where can I find a detailed tutorial that shows how I can do this?

Thanks!

I tried using that tutorial about the addons, I didnt quite understand it.

Id also like to edit a cpanel addon that exists (Not to resell, but just to add another option to the mail lists)

Edit: I guess when I say addons, I mean custom body links, some need to link to a php code that will show within cpanel if possible.. (Custom php script for domain registration, custom ajax script to show users processes, stuff like that)

It sounds like you're looking to make a cPanel Plug-in.

We do have a cPanel Plug-in Install generator at: http://www.cpanel.net/plugins/devel/installgen.html

You can have the icon in the cPanel interface point to your own custom pages (HTML, PHP etc.) within the theme's directory.

AH! ok, so I did that, I made a test plugun, and I also used the install instructions, and it worked, then I tried the uninstall instructions... and it wont completely go away, the text is still there, but the icon isnt. Check the attachment

I recommend letting our technical analysts take a look at things for you so they can correct this issue.

is there a way to make it so my pages will appear within the cpanel theme?...

And if yes, is it possible to make them php within the theme? :P

Bump. Also.. how do I make my own group at the top? In the addon generator, I can select new group, but id like to title it

Yes, just create a cPanel plug-in. This involves placing files within the theme and linking to them from the main cPanel interface using the cPanel Plug-in File Generator.

PHP files may be used within cPanel themes and will need a .php extension. If you wish to use both PHP and API1/API2, you can use .phpcp or .cpphp file extensions. With .cpphp, API1/API2 code is executed before PHP code. With .phpcp, PHP code is executed before API1/API2 code.

Alternatively, you could use .livephp if you with to use API1/API2 code within your PHP code:

Modifying the plugin file generator will not be successful. Unfortunately, there is no good/official way of doing this at this time. Instead, you will need to use CSS to generate custom groups. Plug-ins would not be able to be placed within these custom groups.

Here's a link to a previous post I made regarding how to create custom groups: http://forums.cpanel.net/showpost.ph...3&postcount=26
