Title: Customizing the /sever-manager page
Post by: nb69 on August 30, 2004, 03:11:11 AM

Hi all,

Well... I've pretty much configured my server... WOW!

I'm just curious to know if there is a way to add custom links to the server-manager page.

I've got a few admin links, stats utils and even maybe even custom notes that I'd like to have easy access from there.

Is this (easyly) possible?

kindly

Hello,

If you know a little Perl programming, it will be easy.
otherwise It will be pretty difficult.
You will find all information about customizing server-manager in this [urlhttp://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/Customizing]document[/url]

Regards.

NB69,

Writing server-manager panels is never easy.  It takes a great deal of planning, thought, and a fair knowledge of SME and perl.  Even the simpliest of panels can take the gurus hours to create.  If it's your first panel, plan on spending a couple of days sorting things out.  

The best place to start learning is by looking at existing panel code. Have a look in /etc/e-smith/functions, /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/esmith/FormMagick/Panel/, and /etc/e-smith/locale/en/etc/e-smith/web/functions/, and /etc/e-smith/locale/en/etc/e-smith/web/functions/

Each panel consists of a file located in each one of these three locations.  For example, you'll find a "workgroup" file in each of these three locations that form the Workgroup panel.

At first, this will all be very overwelming.... Don't give up.  Study the code and before long things will start falling into place.
