Hello,
I'm trying to write my first Virtualmin plugin, following this:
http://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/developer/plugins#plugin_cgi_scr...
The problem I'm facing right now is that I cannot show a link to my cgi-scripts in the left-hand-side menu (using the Virtualmin theme).
I'm taking inspiration from the awstats plugin for virtualmin, so maybe i copy-and-pasted something wrong but i can't figure what. reading the API the only relevant functions (for this task) are feature_webmin and feature_links, that are as follows:
sub feature_webmin
{
local ($d, $all) = @_;
my @fdoms = grep { $_->{$module_name} } @$all;
if (@fdoms) {
return ( [ $module_name, { 'doms' => join(" ", @fdoms) } ] );
}
else {
return ( );
}
}
sub feature_links
{
local ($d) = @_;
return (
{ 'mod' => $module_name,
'desc' => "Foo extension 1",
'page' => 'view.cgi',
'cat' => 'services',
},
);
}
The file view.cgi has been created (in my virtualmin plugin directory). I've also removed modules and links cache, with:
rm /etc/webmin/virtual-server/links-cache/* rm /etc/webmin/module.infos.cache
Finally: I think the file structure and names are ok, because I can see my plugin when creating a new Virtual Server (or editing an existing one) and I can check it.
any suggestion on how to debug it?
UPDATE: thanks to andreychek on the irc channel, I found out that it was not enabled for my user (going to:
Webmin -> Webmin -> Webmin Users -> USERNAME -> Available Webmin modules
).
So my question becomes: is it possible to write the module in such a way that it is enabled for all existing users? Thanks :)
Jamie and I have been going over what might cause that... his first thought was to make sure that you had the "feature_webmin" function added. But it looks like you do!
His other thought was that, depending on when exactly that function was added, you may want to try disabling, then re-enabling, the feature for your domain. Doing that should grant the privileges to the users within your domain.
