Define remote calls in interface modules

    Hello

    I'm currently researching options for an enhancement to ISPConfig.

    I'm not 100% clear on the details, but I had the idea, that this might be solved via a combination of an interface module and a remote API.

    Unfortunately it seems, that the possible calls for the remote API are hard coded in the file
    Code:
    interface/lib/classes/remote.inc.php
    Did I miss something, or is it currently not possible to extend the remote api without hacking (at least) this file?

    Regards,

    I don't really get your point :)

    All remote api functions are in the remoting library and that's how it is intended. Why would you want to mix remote API with other interface things? It's a completely different thing.

    Combining interface modules with remote api call does not make much sense as Crouydon pointed out.

    The remote api is a normal php class, so you can extend it like any other calls:

    - create a new file in the remote folder.
    - include the current remote class.
    extend the curent remote class like this:

    class custom_remote extends remoting {
    ....

    }

    then create soap server socket for it and call this new endboint in your remote client script.

    I do not plan to use the remote API in my module. I was thinking about providing functionality within ISPConfig that can then be accessed via the remote API.

    Maybe I'm on the wrong path here, but currently this looks like a good path for me.

    I'll try to understand what Till wrote (or better: what he implied because it's obvious for him) now.

    Thanks for the hints. :)
