I have read a lot about custom scripts in these forums like domain_create_post.sh etc... But, where are these script files on the server?? I don't see them anywhere. Do I have to create them myself?? If so, where do I create them?

Also, does someone have a link to a list of the different script files that are possible and when each one runs.

I've searched the forums for this info but have been unsuccessful.

Thanks.

Is there a reason why you posted the README file? :)

You said your custom dir was empty. I took that to mean that you couldn't find the README file. So I posted it for you. If you mean that it's empty because there are no scripts in it then, well it's supposed to be and you need to go dig up the documentation on this and learn how it works.

Sorry, I'll leave you alone now.

Nah, you just threw me. I should have said all I had was the README file. Even did a locate -u and searched for the scripts. Still can't see them. Kind of stange.....

Thanks,

I'd just like to say, thanks for the posts OxnardMontalvo, and I successfully created a user_create_post.sh script and it works perfectly. Thanks again.

Oh, and in case anybody is interested, the script I created automatically installs the BBClone (www.bbclone.de) web statistics program into every users site. It is very nice.

/usr/local/directadmin/plugins/awstats/hooks/awstatsinstall.php -id ${domain}

This is one of mine.

How did you call it?

A link on the directadmin interface? or its called automatically after the domain creation?

I'm trying to figure it out how plugins works.

DA checks for it's existence and if it's there (and executable) it will run it.

NOTE: These are custom scripts. Not plugins. Huge difference.

Custom scripts are hooks in the DA process where you can add your own code to be called. Plugins get installed into DA to add functionality and interfaces.

Hello Oxnard,

Am new to DirectAdmin, currently am facing the challenge of locate that script file, my aim to to allow shared IP to all reseller account. I read ssome article on internet that suggest to add code in this format to that script file.

#!/bin/sh
IPL=/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/$username/ip.list
SERVER=1.2.3.4
SHARED=1.2.3.5

function add()
{
echo $1 >> ${IPL}
}

if [ -s ${IPL} ]; then
STR="perl -pi -e \'s/^${SERVER}\\$/${SHARED}/\' ${IPL}"
eval ${STR}
echo "Swapped server IP ${SERVER} with shared IP ${SHARED} for $username";

add 1.2.3.6
#add 1.2.3.7
fi
exit 0;

And i tried to ls directory in my VPS server to didn't have that directory, also i checked in my DirectAdmin web control panel I didn't see that directory after login as admin, then user level then file manager.

Kindly am asking for help to steps to locates that file and add those code,

Thanks,
