Cpanel theme does reset itself

[Domenico]

I created my own dir(theme) in the frontend dir and changed some text and links but it gets resetted every time cpanel is being updated.

I DON\'T WANT MY DIR(THEME)TO BE UPDATED!!!!!!!!!!!!

It\'s true, this does appear to occur on all our machines as well. I have a perl script that does a search/replace periodically, after the lovely cpanel updater runs. You might want to look into that, *OR* just make all the files in /var/cpanel/users immutable with \"chattr +i /var/cpanel/users/*\" ... you\'ll have to UNset that to edit the profiles in the future, but it will prevent the themes from being reset.

If you have any questions about this let me know!
Good luck.

Can a cpanel developer respond to this one please?

I dont think thats what Domenico meant

Domenico, SSH into your server and type:

cd /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/
chattr +i themename

If you are editing the theme called default, themename is default, otherwise iconic etc

Thanks Nicholas Feanor!

I just wanted to be sure if everything was going to be ok if I protected my own dir.

Thanks,
Domenico
