hi

as a novice developer, i was wondering if a custom script can be configured to send its developer a notice to include the installation url of the script each time it is installed using Softaculous, perhaps in the Softaculous install file?

Hi,

Softaculous sends an email with the installation details to the user's email.

If you want to send the email an additional email address please fill in the email in the "Email installation details to" on the install form.

as a long time user of this system, i already know that. but i need to receive data from the installation even when I do not personally do the install for the user. this is so my system can share traffic.

the whole point of using an auto installer (for me) is to find new users and for those new users to install the software themselves, without me around, anytime, anywhere, 24/7.

look:

i have a massively multiplayer, player-extendable, browser strategy game which i would like to add to the auto installer. game admins can modify various variables in the game and change gameplay, so as an admin, your game need not be the same as anyone elses.

it includes a drop down menu traffic exchange system, which links all the installations of the game, like server 1, server 2 etc

this enables players to play more than one version of the game.

for this to work, i need information about each install (i.e the browser url of the game)

the best way to do this would be automatically, when the game is installed,.. that way the user doesnt have to remember to email me the link.

Hi,

Well in that case you can use the post install hook :

Hi,

You need to copy the files to the following path :
/path/to/softaculous/enduser/hooks/post_install.php

If the extension of the file is .php Softaculous will include that hook file automatically.

Hi,

As your had mentioned in your other post that you are a reseller hence you will not have access to the softaculous folder as it is accessible only by the root.

If you have root access the hooks are to be placed in the following folder :
/path/to/softaculous/enduser/hooks/pre_mail.php

If you want to send an additional email you can use the PHP mail() function in your custom script.
