Control Panel

basically what i need to have done is whilst a page is loading like on plesk whilst some of there pages are loading the cintrol panel greys out and you see a loading screen and this dissapears when the page is loading. how would i ahchieve this. (see the screenshot for an example of what i want to achieve)

   

I can't help but I can just say that the template looks very advertising!

that not my template thts what i want the loading thing to look like

O whoops, I misread your post!

i was hoping somone could help me maby Nathy knows how to achive a loding screen.

If he doesn't perhaps just try asking Plesk themselves. If they have a loading interface that you like I am sure they wouldn't mind sharing it with you... I mean if I had something like that and I was asked I would tell them!

ok will do, anyone wanting to see the progress of the control panel can go to http://www.mxweb.co.uk/control/index.php. as it construction progresses directories will become secure so whjne the time comes ill post the logins here. Also i need somone who knows the php code on how to reboot a server as i had this

but i think its wrong can anyone help?

also there is a temp logo on there but im waiting for artmark to create the final one.

It looks great so far although I was trying to access it on this computer but it did not work. It worked on the other computer, best of luck!

I think its nice but I dont like part of the logo being hidden by the word Elite. Also the letter E and C doesnt look very good. Just my opinion of what I see.

ok ill change the design accordingly. the design is coming along slowly

UPDATE: Due to Programming issues and several other stuff that would take about 3 years to program, i have decided that the control panel can only be run on a cPanel server. So cpanel MUST be installed for all features on the control panel to work as it calles on the cpanel API's for it to do several options. This also makes my life easier.

I like your design. The design is great.

What you want on loading?

Do you want the loading popup on the page loading time?

Then that can be done using Java Script.

Just make a function to generate a popup looking as a loding menu. Then add the event handler onLoad into the body tag.

ie. onLoad="function()"

or you can call a window or an image. That makes the loading window very easly.

can you explain in more depth? and provide me a example or the code?

OK.

This will work on the page loading time. You can make the popup window using some java scripts.

An example for making onload coding is:

I think you now understand a little. You can mention the codes to display the popup window for the loading window. Thats all.

I am confused but I suppose that is because I don't know Java Script....

Rob, hope you completed most of the Control Panel work.

We are waiting for your latest news about the Control Panel program. So please give your latest update about your program.

Thanks

Hi ivenms,

I've put the control panel on hold for the moment as i think there are just to many out there so i wouldn't get a market and also i was the only developer. However i am thinking about turning it into a server monitoring script like status2k or as an admin panel for free webhosts with billing included and auto account creation included.

I would love to get this started again but i would need a few people to help develop various aspects.

I think ive also got a final name for the product. Guardian Control

That sounds great. OK. Fine work there.

Do you know how to integrate scripts with the cpanel we have for our hosts?

I mean can you make scripts which automatically generates adons, subdomains, ect with Cpanel?

Yes its not hard once you obtain the cPanel API's. To generate sub-domains or new cpanel accounts you can either use the accounting includes file (accounting.inc) where you put the server hash user and pass
or you can do it from URL in the sub-domains section as long as you get the variables in the URL correct.

Integrating scripts into cPanel 11 is very easy compared to cPanel 10. cPanel have even made a form on their site which will generate the install file for you. Just enter where the script resides on the server and a few other details and.... your done. Just run the install file from shell and cpanel will do the rest.

Did you mean add-ons like disc space and bandwidth?
or add-ons as in cpanel software add-ons?

If you meant disc space etc you can again sue the accounting.inc file. Just call on it in a PHP script.

From where I can get this script / tool?
