Good job :cool:

[S2S-Robert]

Perhaps this could be integrated in a new version?

[FarCry]

very very nice, i think this might come in handy!

[l0rdphi1]

S2S-Robert sent me an email asking for some new features. Here was the key part of my responce:
I do actually have plans to extend the tools ability via 'change user name' and 'change user owner' functions, along with anything else thought up, but all time permitting, of course.

On incorporating this into DA, I don't have any problems with that, but I'm not exactly sure how it would work, especially when I want to release a new version, but nonetheless it could work.

[FarCry]

you would create a custom script linked out of DA :)

rename user shouldnt be too hard to do...

[l0rdphi1]

*edited for clarity*

[FarCry]

linked out of DA with an icon :) just as if it was a standard feature!

[l0rdphi1]

Okay, I see.

Hmm. :)

[FarCry]

I had john make me some API functions to allow exactly this to happen. I will make an php class and perl module to use these fast and easily once 1.203 is released.

[l0rdphi1]

If they're API functions I can probably do it simply by using the class I already wrote; can't wait to see how this turns out :)

[FarCry]

you can, they are pretty simple.

Any news on these APIs?

[DirectAdmin Support]

It this what you're looking for?

http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=234

I'll try and update the api.html file, as there are a few commands that need to get added.

John

[l0rdphi1]

Okay, I *think* I understand where this is going. I can create an external script and tap into DA's current session to validate the end user. Interesting.

This brings a few questions up for me. First, where can I get 'session_id' from? A cookie? If this is stored in a cookie, will not the browser have to access scripts via port 2222? Maybe the cookies aren't port-2222 specific, but I'm positive a script couldn't be located just anywhere on the server.

Looking good though; keep up the good work. I guess I was after more of a 'plugin' API for DA. An API where I wouldn't have to modify a skin to link my script directly from DA, e.g.,
$plug = new Plugin('DA User Tool');
$plug->add_admin_option('User Tools','CMD_USER_TOOLS');

if ( $plug->cmd = 'CMD_USER_TOOL' )
{
// someone clicked on the user-tools link...

}


// or even a structure like:
class DAUserTool extends DAPlugin {

var $name = 'DA User Tool';
var $key = 'DA_USER_TOOL'; // cmd key to get into this plugin

function chooser()
{
if ( $this->user_level == 'admin' && ... )
{
$this->user_tools_menu();
}
}

function on_add_user_save()
{
// do stuff... :}

}

function user_tools_menu()
{
echo "blah blah";
}

}In DA I'm not sure how CMD's are handled, but to do this you'd most likely have to call an external PHP and/or Perl script when the CMD value specified can not be found in DA itself.

Just an idea, but it's probably a bit too much.

[DirectAdmin Support]

|SESSION_ID| and the cookie named "session"

[Icheb]

I am really really really sorry for this giant kick, but i do have a question.

I used this tool today to migrate a user to a reseller account, but the reseller account the user is created from still lists it in allocated quota size.
How can i make sure this migrated user, made by a reseller called 'abcd' entirely goes to the admin as if it was created by the admin user.

Second note: After the migration no IP's are standard transferred to the reseller to use...

Thanks in advance,

Icheb

edit:
I can explain this way simpler :D :

Ok, so far i have :
* converted the user to a reseller
* added an ip to use for the reseller
* changed the user.conf so that the reseller appears to be created by admin instead of another reseller
* changed users.list of the original reseller so that the new reseller is no longer listed

Problem : The for the user/new reseller allocated disk space is still available on the reseller panel for the reseller that previously had the user. How do i change this to reflect the correct settings without deleting the reseller ?

[l0rdphi1]

If all instances of the new reseller have been removed from his/her old reseller's data, DA should not do that. Has DA retallyed since you executed the conversion?

No, it hasn't, but it did during the night, this problem is solved.
Is it possible to make DA retally a bit more than just once a day ?
Or will this damage the logs or something ?

To retally a single user:
echo 'action=tally&value={username}&type=user' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

To retally everyone:
echo 'action=tally&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

[DirectAdmin Support]

Hello,

You can make the tally happen more often automatically by changing the /etc/cron.d/directadmin_cron file.

[ProHS]

I keep getting an error when trying to excute it which is,

"su-2.05b# perl dausertool.pl
Not enough arguments for mkdir at dausertool.pl line 210, near ""$DA_DIR/data/users/$user/packages";"
Execution of dausertool.pl aborted due to compilation errors."

I was wondering how would i go about fixing this?

[l0rdphi1]

Are you running freebsd? I probably need to convert some of the `` stuff over to pure Perl.

[ProHS]

Yes i am :(. When do you think you will have a ported version for FreeBSD to use, i will even beta test it for you.

[l0rdphi1]

I should have some time this evening to get it fixed (I'm EST GMT-5). I'll post here when I believe it to be working.

[ProHS]

ok kool thanks, i am on the same time.

[l0rdphi1]

When you get a chance, I think it may be fixed.

wget http://www.l0rdphi1.com/tools/dausertool_v1.2b1/dausertool.pl and follow the main post's instructions. If all goes well I'll update the main post with this new release.

[ProHS]

It now works and thank you. I am sure the rest of the FreeBSD users are going to appreciate your work.

[ProHS]

I was wondering if it possible to add a feature to da tools where you can move users to another reseller? That would be very useful for me. I would be happy to beta test it for you if you would like.

[l0rdphi1]

1.2 is up. Has FBSD and chowning.. :)

[ProHS]

what are the change in da tools 1.2 ?

[l0rdphi1]

FBSD support & user owner setting (see the above post)

[ProHS]

ok cool thanks

[outpernet]

When i converted an user to a reseller, then when i try to create a user from that reseller DA says:

Unable to create a User
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You must first own an IP



But i assinged ok the server ip to that reseller ....

[l0rdphi1]

Append your server IP to the reseller's ip.list file :)

[outpernet]

but it has now the server ip.. like other resellers

[l0rdphi1]

Isn't that what you want? You want your reseller to be able to create users on your server IP, no?

Maybe I don't understand your question.

Phi1. :)

[outpernet]

first of all thankyou.

I wanted to say that is has the server ip, but i cant create an user so that message appears when i try. i will check more deep..

[l0rdphi1]

Hmm. That is definitely odd. I'd check and verify all is as you suppose about the server IP.

Phi1.

[motobrandt]

Phil,
I downloaded the script. I'm not clear as to the context that the script requires. Sorry for being noob.:rolleyes:
Is the script capable of moving a user from one reseller to another? If so could someone help me with context here?

Example :
User = user1

how to move user1 from reseller1 to reseller2?

thx
brandt

[l0rdphi1]

Hello,

Try dausertool.pl -o reseller2 user1 :)

Phi1.

[Jing]

just a feature request, perhaps you can add this into your tool -- the ability to duplicate the packages of another reseller into a new reseller. it would make things even more easier for transferring things between resellers then. :)

anyway, this tool really helped me a lot. thanks a lot mate!

[redeye]

Maybe possible to add the function: move user from 1 reseller to another?

[l0rdphi1]

Redeye,

Isn't that what the above example does? It should change the owner of user1 to reseller2.

Phi1.

Phi1.

OMG, your right, i'm sorry, didn't read it. It worked, kiss, kiss, kiss.

[neorder]

when i change the user to another reseller, how can i set that user's IP address to the 2nd reseller's IP?

[jmstacey]

When admin, show all users. Click on the user you want to modify. At the top of the screen there will be buttons, click the one callsed modfy 'username'.
There is a drop down box of available ip addresses there somewhere.

[neorder]

i'm not assigning the user an IP, i want to change the user's ip from my main server IP to a reseller's main IP.

is it doable?

thanks

[jmstacey]

If I am understanding you correctly, just like I said above.

Admin > Show All users > user > Modify user > IP Drop down box

The IP drop down box will contain a list of ALL available ip addresses. Just select the ip address that is the main ip address for the reseller you want to assign him to and save your changes.

[3v.]

When become the tool available for RH Fedora Core 2?

[Marwen]

works perfect with fc2 .
i have use it without problems.

[l0rdphi1]

Is this possible?
Unfortunately, no. This tool can not do that. You will have to manually edit his configuration files and copy his domains directory over.

Phil.

[gate2vn]

I have upgraded an user to reseller without any problem, but change owner, it said cannot do with reseller or admin. So, I changed it back to user, set owner

perl dausertool.pl -o username username

then upgrade to reseller

perl dausertool.pl -r username

ok. But in DA, that user is still not in the user list. How can I fix this?

thanks

I need to do exactly the same thing.

I need to merge 4 seperate accounts under one user account.

Can you elaborate on exactly how to do this please?

Thanks

BWH

[jmstacey]

In theory, probably lacking some details:

You would copy the contents of all other domains in their corresponding domains/ directory to the user you wanted to merge them to. (primary user)
Changing their permissions to match that of the pimary users.

Then you would add the domains to all the proper places in the primary user's DirectAdmin data files. The issue the command to DirectAdmin to rewrite all httpd.conf files. If you did everything right, it should pick up on the changes and add the necessary virtualhosts to the primary user reflecting the additional domains.

That is in a nutshell. Not to mention a similar process for email, MySQL, ........

[motobrandt]

Hiya Phil,
I was just using this tool organizing users into resellers and all kinds of fun stuff.

THANKS! it's great!

But you posted earlier in the thread that changing the username would be easy. IS that possible with the current script? Or is that something else?

If it's possible please tell me how to do it.

Thanks again!
-brandt

[rldev]

I wonder if DA can make this tool availe in the DA admin with a GUI. It would be very useful this way.

[jmstacey]

I have actually been pondering creating a toolbox plugin with functions such as this that DirectAdmin is missing.
mass IP entry
mass domain entry
rename user
etc.

However, if DirectAdmin were to make these functions builtin, I would much rather prefer that.

[Icheb]

One thing I'm still looking for is a way to move domain A from user B to user A, so far I've just deleted the content and recreated it, but I would really like to be able to move domains around between users. (Or am I the only one that has a few users who know eachother and trade domains with eachother ?)

Furthermore I'd also like to see DA include some kind of a toolbox for stuff like this into the admin panel.

[rldev]

I have customers consoldate, change to resellers, etc all the time. This would be highly useful in the admin area.

The url to the tool is not aivable anymore :mad: have's somebody on this forum a good url to the tool?

[albatroz]

I can email it if you want...

[4U-Web]

Please send it to info [at] 4u-web [dot] nl

Online is easier for me, but on e-mail is also well.

Thanks!

Tnx!

EDIT: Other users that want to use the tool, without downloaden the zip file first, you can use the follow url:

http://www.4u-web.nl/datool/dausertool.pl

EDIT 2: I have upload the dausertool.pl, but as I do:


wget http://www.4u-web.nl/datool/dausertool.pl

in SSH, there comes the follow error:

Can somebody help me with this problem?

Unless you need it to be executed from that location, I'd suggest trying 644 instead of 777.

The same error comes as I have set the permission to 644:

Perhaps we can help you figure this out if you change to the directory (from your shell) and post the complete output of:

ls -al dausertool.pl

and then also the output of:

How about the results from:

Thanks.

Jeff

[4U-Web]

What kind of results do you mean?

[rldev]

I would willing to pay or donate to have this made as a plugin. I think this would be most useful. DA should really do it, but who knows what they are working on right now:) I doubt it is this.

[jschurawlow]

I have to agree this would be quite useful to have in the admin area as a DA plugin definitely.

[4U-Web]

Can somebodey help me with the converting now, I have a customer that want a reseller account, and he have's now a normal account.

[jmstacey]

What kind of help do you need 4U-Web?

[4U-Web]

As I post before, I have the dausertool.pl file, that have I upload to my server, but if I try to download on SSH, there comes the follow error:

Tell us again why your aren't downloading it from l0rdphi1's server?

Hi ,
have someone a script like this
http://www.l0rdphi1.com/tools/dausertool.pl
for Admin to reseller ..??

Thanks

[DA_user]

I got a strange problem!!!!

I just moved a user from one reseller to another. The script gave me the following message:
Owner of `testtest' has sucessfully been changed from `reseller1' to `reseller2'.

But when I as an admin check the "show all users", the user that I just moved still belongs to the original reseller? But when I login as reseller1 it does not own the user, and when I login as reseller2 it shows ut as the owner.

So the resellers user list shows the correct info, but not the admin list?

Can anyone help me?


Okay, I think maybe the problem may have been that the show all users site is cashed by DirectAdmin - so it do not update all the time, and therefor functions like this may be a bit slow?

I had the same problem. It seems the script adds a newline "\n" to the end of the IP in ip.list. This is enough to cause you to receive that message. Edit the ip.list file for the user, making sure there it nothing there but the IP, then save. You may not actually be able to see the newline, as was the case for me. But make sure there were no spaces or returns after the IP was enough to get it working for me.

Thanks,

[nobaloney]

Phi1,

I've just run dausertool.pl to convert a user to a reseller.

Everything appears to have worked properly except for these error messages:

cp: cannot stat `/usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom/u_welcome.txt': No such file or directory
and

chown: failed to get attributes of `/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/lashin/u_w
elcome.txt
And of course the message is correct; the file doesn't exist.

Is that a problem?

Thanks.

Jeff

[spirit]

Hi All,

I searched the forum for a way to refresh the user-list(s) in DA after use of the DA User Tool.

Background:
The migration of a user to reseller and changing the owner of an exist user works perfect with the tool provided.

Want to complete:
Only thing left now is the correct listing of users. This is not displayed correctly in the 'admin'mode. The listing in the 'new reseller' however is correct. Is this update of the admin-listing done automatically in DA after some time/refresh, or is there a way to force it? I allready tried a reboot of DA and server, didn't work out.

Thanks for helpfull replies in advance.

Kind Regards,
Spirit

Sounds like the cache needs to be updated.
Running this command should do the trick:


echo "action=cache&value=showallusers" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

[webquarry]

Hmm...

ok I grabbed this script from:

http://www.l0rdphi1.com/tools/dausertool.pl

(claims to be version 1.2)

and gather from posts on this thread that to move a useraccount from reseller1 to admin's control the command would be something like this:

dausertool.pl -o admin useraccount

right?

Questions is this:

When I dausertool.pl -h all I see is:

Usage: dausertool.pl [OPTION]... USER...
Modify DirectAdmin USER(s).

-r, --to-reseller convert USER to Reseller
-u, --to-user convert USER to User
-f, --force ignore nonexistent USER(s), never prompt
-h, -?, --help display this screen and exit
--version output version information and exit

No mention is made of the -o option. Before I screw somthing up, do I have the right version of the script? I've looked through the script and see no mention of a -o option anywhere in it....

[woober]

After I converted a reseller to a user with this tool, all the users attached to this reseller dont show bandwith usage anymore :( Is it a way to get the BW usage back again? I tried to refresh the user accounts, but that didnt help either :(

Would appreciate any suggestion to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance.

[jmstacey]

Did you assign these users to a different reseller before you made the reseller a user?

I haven't looked at how this script works, but I wouldn't think the quota files need to be modified in the user directories at all...

[woober]

I found the problem, I just had to move the users to admin and back to the right account again. then it was reseted, now it works great. GOOD TOOL :)

[Seth]

Works perfect, good job man!

Current Version: v1.2
Last updated 2004-02-06 at 7:01 PM EST

Instructions: wget http://www.l0rdphi1.com/tools/dausertool.pl perl dausertool.pl Follow on-screen instructions.
Features: Convert Users to Resellers

Change the owner of users
RH and FBSD support
Have fun! ;)

TICKET BUG: There is a bug in the script. Acutally, its not a bug. The ticket.conf does not get updated at all from USER -> RESELLER.

The USERS ticket.conf looks like this;

ON=yes
email=admin@efastservers.com
new=0

However, when converting USER -> RESELLER the ticket.conf should now look like this;

ON=yes
active=yes
email=resellername@resellerdomain.com
html=Follow <a href="http://www.domain.com/support">this link</a> for a 3rd party ticket system.
new=0
newticket=0

The code should be modified to convert /data/users/ticket.conf to the format of the RESELLER.

The end result is a Segmantation Fault if the reseller attempts to click on Manage Tickets.

So to manually fix it i did;

mv /path/data/user/ticket.conf ticket.conf.bad
vi /path/data/user/ticket.conf

paste

ON=yes
active=yes
email=resellername@resellerdomain.com
html=Follow <a href="http://www.domain.com/support">this link</a> for a 3rd party ticket system.
new=0
newticket=0

Save and exit.

No more segmentation fault

Thank you.

IM REALLY SUPRISED that DA Staff have not bothered to write a user to reseller script that would facilitate a user to reseller conversion. After all, they should know what needs to be done to do a successful converstion INSTEAD OF RELYING ON FORUM MEMBERS TO GET THE JOB DONE!

[eSiK]

when this tool will be a standard feature in DA?
Changing users via this script is a bit annoying :(

[cyberneticos]

It's even more annoying when you don't even have this tool.

But it would seem natural and logical to have this tool included in DA.

I would actually just like to comfirm the command syntax for moving 2 users into an existing Reseller account..

is This what I do..

10:36 AM[root@box /usr/home/ ]perl dausertool.pl -fr useraccount reselleraccount

or

10:36 AM[root@box /usr/home/ ]perl dausertool.pl -o reselleraccount useraccount1 useraccount2

Is the above correct as all I want to do is migrate 2 users to a existing reseller account with no hassel

Cheers

I've converted a user to a reseller and then changed his plan to a reseller plan.

Problem is, the reseller part is working okay. But on my admin account, when I view "Show all users". It shows that user as created by admin and with the old quota.

But on my "List resellers", it shows him on the new quota.

Anyway to update the part in "Show users" for consistency?

"Show All Users" is cached and requires its cache cleared. See http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=118

Again thank you for another helpful tool l0rdphi1

[congkai]

has this item been added into DA? or is it dead?

[albatroz]

Is there a way to change the user a domain or set of domains belong to?

Hi,

I don't think there is any tool to automatically do this, neither official nor 3rdparty. The problem is how data is stored. Domain files are stored inside the home directory of the user they belong to, so reassigning the owner becomes quite a task.

If you don't need to do this for a lot of domains and can re-add the DA settings (FTP accounts, email accounts, etc.), a shortcut method might be to create the domain on the user you wish to copy to, re-adding all DA-related settings. After that, copy the domain's public_html from the old user's home directory to the new user's home directory, and then fix ownership on the files. Still, that's a bit messy.

This tool hasn't been updated in a long time, but it should still work fine. I still use it. :)

Does this tool allow me to move a domain from one user to another?

We previously used JTtoolbox to do this, but very annoyingly the JT Toolbox developer has gone AWOL and his domain has expired and license no longer works :mad:

Basically we have a Reseller who had set a domain under in his 'user' level and now needs to move it into his 'Reseller' level so that the domain owner can have his own control panel access.

We need a quick solution

Can anyone help?

[hklcf]

thanks for share

[cyberneticos]

JTbox is absolete.

User l0rdphi1 has a new website.

Click on his name in one of his posts (there's one a few posts above), there you'll find links to his DirectAdmin tool, and even an email address for him.

Hello every one.

try this link:


wget http://kade.nu/da/dausertool_v1.1.pl

[floyd]

I just read the first post and it appears that DirectAdmin includes the same functions now so there is no need to download something extra.

If da user tool does more then by all means use it.
