Add new website - editing default settings

Hi,

how to edit the default settings under the dashboard Websites "Add new website" section ? I have succeeded to change some settings via database table structure defaults, but not all.

For example, Auto-Subdomain is by default "www." and I'd need it to be "None" by default.

I checked the database web_domain, in the table structure,the field "subdomain" has the enum values 'none','www','*' and Default is set to "none", these are settings of a freshly installed ISPConfig 3.2.12p1.

BR,

Thats hardcoded in the form file at interface/web/sites/form/web_vhost_domain.tform.php

Code:

    'subdomain' => array (
            'datatype' => 'VARCHAR',
            'formtype' => 'SELECT',
            'default' => 'www',
            'value'  => ($wildcard_available ? array('none' => 'none_txt', 'www' => 'www.', '*' => '*.') : array('none' => 'none_txt', 'www' => 'www.'))
        ),

I guess if you want to modify this behavior you have to manually edit this file.

 

You can also do this with a script that uses the ISPConfig Remote API:

Thank you @pyte! I did try to search for hardcoded settings earlier, somehow I missed this with grep, this worked. I will make an script that will sed this every time the ISPConfig is reconfigured or updated.

 

You can also "chattr +i" that file.
