Hello cPanel lovers !
I am a hosting provider using WHMCS as billing software and customer area.
Inside WHMCS, we have few shortcut icons using the SSO system of cPanel, you can find information here and see how it looks in my attached screenshot :
https://docs.whmcs.com/CPanel_Single_Sign-On
Inside the WHMCS template (.tpl files) clientareaproductdetails.tpl or /modules/servers/cpanel/templates/overview.tpl we can find some links written like this (examples) :
- clientarea.php?action=productdetails&id=123&dosinglesignon=1&app=Domains_AddonDomains
- clientarea.php?action=productdetails&id=123&dosinglesignon=1&app=Database_phpMyAdmin
- clientarea.php?action=productdetails&id=123&dosinglesignon=1&app=FileManager_Home
These "link icons" are useful for the beginner customer, because, with only 1 click, he can go from the WHMCS Billing Secured Area to the cPanel specific section : Addon Domains, or PhpMyAdmin, or FileManager, or… few more things about emails and so on.
We can actually find the list of compatible targets by launching this command line on the server :
Here is my output :
It's nice because with that, WHMCS users can add some useful links to the Softaculous WordPress, or even to the SSL Status section (with the Run AutoSSL button that many new customers are looking for).
It's very very useful to be able to add direct links (shortcut icons) from WHMCS to cPanel sections !
Thanks to Softaculous to have had the good idea to register its app inside these "get_users_links" links.
But the big issue is that…
All features, plugins or apps cannot be linked directly from cPanel SSO…
Despite all the cPanel features seems to have an Appkey name :
Guide to cPanel Interface Customization - Appkeys - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation
Not all features, third-party plugins or apps have the mandatory parameter in their configuration file…
the parameter : implements
By launching this command, you can get the long output of all your cPanel features :
and for only few apps, do this
See my small output :
Good news in this example, we can find the implements: SSL_TLS_Status parameter we need to add a AutoSSL icon from WHMCS, for-instance.
Bad news in this example, we cannot find the implements: FTP_Accounts parameter needed to add, for-instance, a useful FTP Accounts icon in the WHMCS Customer Area… or even
- Select PHP Version : to link to CloudLinux PHP LVE Manager (would be useful to selection PHP Options & Mods)
- WordPress Toolkit : to link to the wonderful features about WordPress (disable crons…)
- Imunify360 : to link to the anti-malware scan history
- Security Policy : to link to the section where we could reset the Security Questions of an account
- or anything you think it's useful to link from the beginner’s customers area, without the confusion to first, login to cPanel
The question is :
How to permanently add the "implements" parameter for any feature/plugin/app to all existing and future cPanel users to be able to directly link a shortcut icon from WHMCS (or any system using the cPanel SSO system) to any cPanel section ?
Another idea would to be able to use the "Feature Name" parameter or anything else mandatory in cPanel, to use it with the SSO system instead/in addition of the implements parameter.
I had absolutely found nothing about that after one entire afternoon Googling (during which I collect these few information).
Does anyone here have information or some clues about that ? Do I need to register a feature request and wait cPanel interest about my request or is it possible to do something on our side (command lines, development) ?
Thanks in advance to the whom understand my mind-wandering of the day!
