However, this API is easiest to call from Perl programs, in particular those that are in other Webmin modules. <br /><br />For this reason, I would recommend creating your control panel as a new Webmin module. It could totally take over the GUI so as to not appear Webmin-like, while still making use of the API to perform all the hard work. <br /><span class=3D"sg"><br />=A0- Jamie</span></blockquote> <div> </div> <div>Hi Jamie ,</div> <div>Yes i was looking for the solution in PERL only , can you point me to some tutorials on that(creating webmin modules and API calls), also i wanted virtualmin functionalities also in the list.</div> <div>Thanks </div> <div>--</div> <div>Regards,</div> <div>Abhishek jain</div><br />=A0</div> </blockquote>Have a look at the module-writers guide at http://www.webmin.com/modules.html<br />This documents the core API, but unfortunately doesn't yet cover the APIs of other modules, which you can also call.<br /><br />=A0- Jamie<br /><br /> |
