Accounts::Create post hook homedir?

create account post hook doesnt return homedir??

Does anyone know how to figure out where the acct home dir is for the created account?? The data array sent to the hook in post doesnt include the homedir location. I just ran into a weird situation with my WP installer script the hook listens for acct create and if the plan is a WordPress plan it does a full install of Wordpress.

The problem is my server all of a sudden decided to switch to /home2 (im still investigating why this happened) but it broke my custom autoinstaller. I believe postwwwacct used to pass homedir but I dont use that anymore I migrated my code to use hooks.

Is this a bug or do I have to do tests to find the homedir????

Thx,
Eric Haskins

According to the Standardized Hooks documentation, the directory of the user files isn't available, but there are other ways of retrieving it such as reading the user data file and finding the home directory parameter.

Just seems like a piece of pertinant info that create acct is aware of and should be passed in a hook. Its sent in the new acct email and postwwwacct

I put in a work around last night doing exactly what you suggest here just feels like a dirty hack

CPanel can you reevaluate your return values in Create Acct homedir is a dynamic value and really should be returned

create account post hook doesnt return homedir??

Does anyone know how to figure out where the acct home dir is for the created account??

use this code to get the user's homedir:

BEGIN { unshift( @INC, '/usr/local/cpanel' ); }
use Cpanel::PwCache ();
my $homedir = Cpanel::PwCache::gethomedir($user);
