Create multiple skeleton directories

Feature Importer shared this idea ago

Open Discussion

As a hosting provider, I want to be able to create multiple skeleton directories, so that I can select which one to use during account creation.

Having multiple skeleton directories available to set up different types of accounts would be an awesome feature.

Example:

skel_dir_1 = package1

skel_dir_2 = package2

This is a feature that has been migrated over from the cPanel Forums. All previous comments and discussions concerning this feature can be located at:

Current skeleton Directory is:

/root/cpanel3-skel/public_html

/root/cpanel3-skel/public_ftp

As of now, when the whm user creates the cpanel account in WHM; it copies the structure from the default /root/cpanel3-skel directory.. What is required to be added for this feature request is very simple.

You need to keep the old skeleton directory as it is:

/root/cpanel3-skel/public_html

/root/cpanel3-skel/public_ftp

and call it Default template.

In the Skeleton Directory Section of the WHM, you need to add a place to create and delete Skeleton Directory templates. Make sure the default cannot be deleted.

The input field can be: Enter skeleton template name

Then provide the user with the option to add. it.

When the user creates a new template name, for example: "Quick Blogs"

WHM should create a corresponding skeleton-template-directory..

In our example it would be:

/root/cpanel3-skel-quick-blogs/public_html

/root/cpanel3-skel-quick-blogs/public_ftp

WHM users should be able to add/del/rename the template name from the skeleton directory section in the WHM which will in return rename the folder corresponding to it.

Example would be changing a quick blogs to WP Blogs

So old structure would be

/root/cpanel3-skel-quick-blogs/public_html

/root/cpanel3-skel-quick-blogs/public_ftp

New structure would be

/root/cpanel3-skel-wp-blogs/public_html

/root/cpanel3-skel-wp-blogs/public_ftp

I hope this fulfills the feedback comment section.

Yes being able (but not required) to set custom skel directories on packages would be useful.

Ability to select a specific skel by package would be great - save on all the "post deployment" scripts we have to run :)

Agreed - assigning a unique skel directory per package would be very helpful.
