Topic : Setup Admin Email Notification for new installs

Posted By: titanhost on April 28, 2017, 9:15 pm

Hey all,

I was curious as to the best way (if it can be done) to setup admin notification emails for new script installations.

Example:

Client installs a new WordPress instance via softaculous. Once the install completes successfully, the admin email would be triggered.

The email itself would primarily need to contain the following data:

- cPanel user that triggered the installation
- URL of the new installation

I am familiar with PHP development but I don't have an in-depth knowledge of Softaculous, so I wanted to make sure I was approaching this the right way.

Hi,

You can use the Post Install filter in Softaculous :
https://www.softaculous.com/docs/Filters#post_install

This filter is triggered after each installation is completed. You can use the use the details you receive as the parameter and send an email.

Brijesh,

Thanks for your reply. This appears to be exactly what I'm looking for!

One more question: Do you have a recommendation for how best to retrieve the cPanel username that ran the installation?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi,

You can globalize the $softpanel in your filter and use the following :

Code
$softpanel->user['name']
