WHM Plugin Step By Step Tutorial

[carbotex]

Hi,

We are currently evaluating CPanel 11.38.2 (build 11). In our application, we need to able to create a WHM plugin. We have successfully create a CPanel plugin by following the documentation, however the documentation on WHM is very unclear. Do you have a basic Hello World example on developing WHM plugin which include how to register the plugin and how to create a basic front end?

Thanks,

Thank you.

Hi, I tried going through this step by step:

https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/SDK/AppConfig

And I do not know where I am supposed to see my plugin appear.
I looked under Plugins in WHM but it doesn't show.
When I access the path directly when logged in using /3rdparty/sc_plugins/sc_create_user.php, my Hello World is displayed.
But I can't seem to locate the icon where to access it via WHM.

My .conf file contains this:

# This is the name that will be displayed for your application in WHM.
displayname=SC

# service that will serve this app
service=whostmgr

# Physical path: /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/Foo.php
# Literal URL path: $server:$port/$cpsession/3rdparty/Foo.php
url=/3rdparty/sc_plugins/sc_create_user.php

# Directory containing php.ini
# - must exist in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/
#phpHandler=Foo

# Features required
features=any

# This is a comma-separated list of ACLs. The logged-in user must have at least one of these ACLs in order to access your application at the URL(s) provided.
acls=all

# This is the filename of the icon that is used by the application (For example: myapp_icon.png).
icon=sc_icon.jpg


What am I missing? My WHM is version WHM 11.42.1 (build 12)

Thanks!

Ok so I was able to get it to appear in the Plugins area by copying the fantastico plugin. I had to use the old method.
Using the AppConfig did not work for me at all.
