It's documented at http://www.webmin.com/modules.html, along with the 
rest of the standard functions. Basically, it returns an array of hash 
references, in which each hash contains the details of a module that 
the current user has access to. The fields in the hash are the same as 
those in each module.info file, but with some modifications (such as 
the 'desc' value being set based on the current language).

Hi All

Is there anywhere a full discription of the webminfunction
"get_available_module_infos" ?

I need the complete syntax...
Whats the structure of the return?...

Thanks a lot?

Perfect, thanks Jamie. Once I've tested my module a bit more I'll upload 
to the third party modules site, unless of course you want a preview to 
pass comment?

You should also try setting  $theme_no_table = 1;  before calling the 
header() function, to prevent the default theme from surrounding all 
other text on the page with a big table. In many browsers this will 
hide everything until the page is complete, as partial tables do not 
get rendered.

Try taking out the $sel->add(STDIN); line, since it doesn't seem useful
in this case, and is probably causing the problem.

Re: [webmin-devel] Select.pm

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

What does the code in your CGI that uses this Select package look like?

The problem may be that STDOUT for webmin CGI scripts is not actually
directly connected to the network, but instead is tied to a special perl
package (miniserv) that interprets HTTP headers before actually sending
them back to the web browser.

Makes using it difficult to use for some of my larger customers.  I would
like consistency among multiple customers for support reasons.  I have not
delved into the proxy/cache area that much as it is so difficult for most
customers to understand, like most infrastructure development.  But since
the deluge of spam, content filtering/blocking is being understood more.
Well, I would rather just buy one of your appliances than recreate the
wheel! :)

Thanks for letting me know.  I am still fairly ignorant about Squid
configuration.  I would like to add blacklists like squidGuard and use the
time ACLs too.  I did not readily see how to do this via Webmin.  Making
Webmin a focal point for administration is what allows me to introduce
Linux/open source solutions into primarily MS shops.

Thanks,
Larry

Squidguard is, unfortunately, rather obtuse about error messages.  Trial 
and error is often the only way to figure out problems.  Another 
unfortunate thing is that Squidguard has been unmaintained for quite 
some time.

Squid's recent ACL changes (splay trees for the ACL lists) make it 
entirely feasible to do all of the 'blacklist' uses of SquidGuard within 
Squid proper at similar performance (also worth noting is that Squid 
also has time ACLs in addition to user and pretty much anything else--so 
the same kinds of complex access controls can be implemented too), so in 
the long run it is likely easier to enhance the Squid module to support 
those kinds of features more cleanly...

Re: [webmin-devel] &backquote_logged

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

An environment variable definately could be the cause..
You can see variables that are set by miniserv by looking at the env_ 
lines in /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf , and you may want to try adding 
some of those that you have set at the command line.

Also, I presume that when you run squidguard manually it is as root? 
The program might be failing when webmin runs it as root for some 
reason ..

RE: [webmin-devel] &backquote_logged

[Larry G. <Li...@IS...>]

I thought I would let you know that I figure this out finally.  I don't know
if you care or not since this is not your module but I always think it rude
not to follow-up.

At the command line, one can issue the squidGuard command to create a
database from a text file.  The text file does not need to be identified as
a destination group in the squidguard.conf file.  However, when issuing the
command via Webmin/miniserv, the entry/destination group needs to be in the
squidguard.conf file.  The squidGuard binary did not return any errors and
the only way I found this was by trial and error.  It is reproducable.  All
I had to do is move the &rebuild_db($filename) subroutine call below
&flush_file_lines() so the db creation request is performed after the conf
file is updated.

If you have any ideas why this might happen I would love to hear it.  I just
can not figure out why this works the way it does.  Then again, my brain is
thoroughly fried now anyway.

Thanks for your help on this and thanks for Webmin!

Thanks Jamie,  I did try that too and there were no errors to report.  I
feel like you were probably on the right track suggesting the inclusion of a
full path . . .  Is it possible that the squidGuard binary requires an
environment variable that the miniserve configuration is not providing?  I
can only think, at this point, that the difference between a terminal
session and Webmin/miniserv is environment related.  Where do I find the
environment settings for miniserv?  Also, is it possible that if I need an
environment variable set that I can localize it just for this subroutine?

You should display the return value from backquote_logged, which is the output
from the program - it may contain some error message explaining what went
wrong. Also, check the exit status in the $? variable, which if non-zero 
indicates failure.

&backquote_logged("$bin -C $_[0] 2>&1 </dev/null");

Both $bin and $_[0] are absolute paths.  I can cat the file that
the above command was echoed into, copy and paste at the command
line, execute, and obtain a successful db file.  The result is:

/usr/bin/squidGuard -C /var/lib/squidguard/blacklists/ads/domains
/usr/bin/squidGuard -C /var/lib/squidguard/blacklists/ads/urls

Just for kicks, I modified the &get_binary_path() so the binary is
found rather than the symlink.  Still nothing.  Permissions seem to
be correct, execute is allowed.  I just don't get it.  It should work.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Larry

This may be a path problem - make sure that whatever is in $bin is a full
path like '/usr/local/bin/foo' instead of just 'foo', which may not be in
webmin's program search path.

I hope I am posting this question to the correct list!  I have been trying
to work on a couple of problems I am having with the squidguard (third
party) module.  I have resolved all but one problem.  Creating the blacklist
db files.  Below is the subroutine from squidguard-lib.pl which is called
from enable_blacklist.cgi to create a new db file from the blacklist.  For
some reason I just can't create the db file if executed from the enable CGI
script via miniserv.  However, if I simulate the subroutine via a Perl
script from the command line, it works.  You will be able to see that I have
echoed the command to a text file just to make sure variables are being
passed correctly, which they are.

#----------------------------
# squidguard-lib.pl
# rebuild_db($file)
# Rebuild the dbfile $file with squidguard -C
sub rebuild_db {
  my $bin = &get_binary_path();
  &terror('lib_nobin') if (! -x $bin);

  if (-e $_[0]) {
    `echo "$bin -C $_[0]" > /var/lib/squidguard/blacklists/ads/xxx.txt`;
    &backquote_logged("$bin -C $_[0] 2>&1 </dev/null");
    &webmin_log('rebuild', 'dbfile', $_[0]);
    &sgchown($_[0]);
    &sgchown("$_[0].db");
  }

  if (! -e $_[0]) {
    `echo "$bin -C $_[0]" > /var/lib/squidguard/blacklists/ads/yyy.txt`;
  }

  &reload_squid();
}
#----------------------------

I am just getting burnt-out on this one.  Anyone have any ideas why I can
make this work via the Perl script/command line but not via CGI/miniserv?

Thanks for any help!

Re: [webmin-devel] header look

[Keith C. <cas...@ya...>]

Just as a side note...
     Could we make sure that tbings are xhtml compliant?  I don't mean going
back through all the old code, but making any new contributions compliant
would be helpful for anyone who is building/considering parsers (me).

1) make sure attributes like class and header have either single or double
quotes around them
2) close all tages that are opened... most people are sloppy about "p","img",
and "br" tags to name a few

Thanks,
keith

That is quite a good idea, as it would allow the creation of themes that
effect the standard header just by defining their own pre- and post-
header HTML, rather than overriding the whole Perl function.

I'll put this class in, along with any others that you can suggest for
the header and footer.

[webmin-devel] header look

[Sandro D. <san...@ti...>]

Playing around with look & themes I needed to add a class=header in the
table of the 'header' function, could it be possible to have it in the main
release too? it will not impact on anything adding a bit of new possibilities.


if (defined(&theme_prebody)) {
	&theme_prebody(@_);
	}
if (@_ > 1) {
	print "<table class=header width=100%><tr>\n";
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^
	if ($gconfig{'sysinfo'} == 2 && $remote_user) {


For the curious ones, the result, using gehroghal theme configurator is here:

I can answer a few of these questions for you - there are about 1400 
people on the main webmin-l mailing list, and 230 on webmin-devel and 
1160 on webmin-announce.

As for downloads, there are about 4000 per day - more when a release 
has just come out, but less at other times.

Re: [webmin-devel] trouble with installing my own module

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

For a few versions now, webmin has used the cache file 
/etc/webmin/module.infos.cache to store details of all installed 
modules. If you add one manually (by just creating a subdirectory) or 
change its module.info file, this cache will not be automatically 
refreshed and so your module won't appear properly.

The solution is to just delete that module.infos.cache file after you 
make any of these changes, and it will be re-generated automatically. 
Of course, this is not needed when installing a module from a .wbm 
file, because the cache gets automatically flushed. Only module 
developers will run into this problem ..

[webmin-devel] trouble with installing my own module

[konan <so...@ra...>]

Hi Everybody! 
I hope you'll find some time to read this letter.
I'm writing a web interface for wget-command.
The problem is that i can;t insert my module into Webmin in the
ordinary way.

I have module.info containing:
name=webget
category=system or webmin (no effect)
depends=1.070
version=1.070
desc=some desc

and also images/icon.gif

i also edited /etc/webmin/webmin.acl - added there my module name in
order to access it

After all of that - I couldnt find my icon at any tab.
So how did i solve that problem:
in webmin-1.070/
                 at
                 ...
                 webget
1) mv at at2
2) mv webget at

Then refresh Webmin - and my Icon Appears!!!!
then
1) mv at webget
2) mv at2 at
And my icon is still on tab under webmin category
But NOTICE THAT:
       when i change category from webmin to system for inst.
icon.gif is left at Webmin category anyway - what't the bug???
It just says that module.info is not read for the second time!!!

Thank you for your answer in advance!!!
