X SKINS are now cPanel's default

[bert]

Geez, I guess you guys have lots of questions. Nick should pay me for this :D

I just want to make sure that the new X Skin 2 will use the same directory structure and file names for email operations as X Skin 1.7

The directory structure remains the same, however as you can see, the cPanel X SKINS is no longer on a directory called "Xskin", it is now on directories called x, x2 and xmail. So, if you are using the x skin, your path instead of being /frontend/Xskin/mail/dodelpop.html, it will be /frontend/x/mail/dodelpop.html

All I need to do is run /scripts/upcp when set to edge and cpanel automatically d/ls xskins and installs it as default?

Just login to your server via SSH, edit /etc/cpupdate.conf and make sure you have "edge" showing after CPANEL (CPANEL=edge). You can also do this from within WHM -> Update Preferences. Then just update cPanel by typing /scripts/upcp

Is there a way to change EVERY clients skin they use to x2?

Try editing your packages from within WHM, I remember that in the beginning, modifying a package via WHM used to modify all accounts bound to that package, I don't know if that is still the case.

You can use vi to modify all your accounts or accounts based on certain criteria all at once. The command below will search all your /var/cpanel/users/* files and replace certain themes to x or x2. The example below will find all users that are using the theme "default" and will change them to the theme "x":

find /var/cpanel/users -type f -print | xargs file | grep -i text | cut -f1 -d: | while read file; do
vi $file >/dev/null 2>&1 <<!
:%s,RS=default,RS=x,g
:wq
!
done

Cheers bert

Only thing is lol

Our servers have at least 15 packages on each

I think I may just pico the old /Xskin folder and replace index and get it to redriect to /x

Just do this:

find /var/cpanel/users -type f -print | xargs file | grep -i text | cut -f1 -d: | while read file; do
vi $file >/dev/null 2>&1 <<!
:%s,RS=default,RS=x,g
:wq
!
done


Just hit enter after each line. On line three, substitute RS=default for whatever the theme you are currently using. If you are using Xskin now and want to start using x2, just change then line number 3 to:

:%s,RS=Xskin,RS=x2,g

You have to sit there and wait. Once the command has completed, it will drop you back to a shell prompt. It may take upwards of 10 minutes depending on the number of users you have on a machine.

If you read the command given, you will notice that it opens each cpanel users file, scans for a string, replaces that string, saves and closes.

If you wanted something more efficient, you could use something like:

find /var/cpanel/users -type f -exec perl -pi -e "s/RS=default\RS=x/g" {} \;

Edited for spelling.

In addition to those explained, a quick way to set the Cpanel skin from "default" to "x" (or any other skin - just change the names as needed):

perl -pi -e "s/RS=default/RS=x/g" /var/cpanel/users/*

This one will do the same job and let you know how many files have been converted:

cd /var/cpanel/users/
replace RS=default RS=x -- *

I would back up the files before modifying them using an automated command or script:

cp -a  /var/cpanel/users/  /var/cpanel/users-bu/

Quick Question

I notice that there are many differnt xskin 2 that get installed, I have changed to x, But I think I prefer x2.

When a new feature is added do they get added to all the X2's or just a paticular one

Which do you recommend I change to, or is there no difference apart from looks

i see that now x and x2 are using tha variables of cpanel...so, to translate i have to traduce directly from WHM, right? but, when i go to "Edit a Language File", the english doesn't appear...if i traduce a portuguese language file (in WHM), how can i put x and x2 picking the variables of the portuguese language file?
