Re: [webmin-devel] View files(.conf,.txt etc) in webmin module

[PEOPLES, M. P <mp...@at...>]

It has been a while since I’ve created a custom module, but I believe you need to examine other code within Webmin that provides a similar function.   For example, the “Software Packages” module has an icon next to the “From local file” input box.  If you click this icon, you get a file listing from which you can select a file to installation.

What you need to do is look at the underlying web page code using a tool like Firefox’s firebug.  There you will see that clicking that icon invokes the “chooser.cgi” script.  In this case I believe that is pointing to /usr/libexec/webmin/chooser.cgi.

You should then examine how this code is used for your particular application.

Hope this helps.
