cPanel Plugin ==> Hello World?

For this sort of thing, I recommend using the LiveAPI, a basic branded example can be seen below.

docs: LivePHP - PHP Class for cPanel

PHP:

<?php

include("/usr/local/cpanel/php/cpanel.php");


$cpanel = &new CPANEL();

$res = $cpanel->api1('Branding', 'include', array('stdheader.html') );
print $res['cpanelresult']['data']['result'];
?>
<div class="body-content">
Hello World!
</div>
<?php
$res = $cpanel->api1('Branding', 'include', array('stdfooter.html') );
print $res['cpanelresult']['data']['result'];
$cpanel->end();


place contents into /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x3/MyApp/branded.live.php
then visit $yourserversip:2083/frontend/x3/MyApp/branded.live.php

and you will see the page.

Now if you want to add an icon, you visit cPanel Plugins - Developer and use /MyApp/branded.live.php as your access URL.

If you have more questions, please let me know

 

Hello Matt,

I found your above post very helpful. I have a small problem though, the first time I click on the related icon once im logged in to cpanel the error below is displayed. If I press back on the browser and click the icon again everything works and stays working until I log out.

Hope you can point me in the right direction.

Regards,
Colin

That's.. very unusual, was there anything in the error_log when this happens?

is it a consistent problem?

 

$res = $cpanel->api2('Email', 'listpopswithdisk');
print_r($res);
