System Configuration

In order to process any of these API's, all requests should be directed to the 'modules/webbooks/system_configuration.php' file. The type of request will be specified per section below.

Load the interface

To load the modules default HTML interface (themes/default/webbooks.system_configuration.html), the below parameters should be passed to the appropriate php file via a GET request. Loading an alternative screen relies on the symlinks set in the users data directory (e.g. data/_guest/_theme/{images|layout|styles}).

action=init
target=screen
username=(the username for the account)
SID=(the security identifier for the account)

This will return the raw contents as it is found in the file, replacing all occurrences of the variable ${UN} anywhere.

Populate the form

To populate all the various values of the interface form objects, the below parameters will need to be passed via a GET request:

action=init
target=values
username=(the username for the account)
SID=(the security identifier for the account)

This will return all the information in the following XML layout:

   <general>
      <admin id="INTEGER" name="STRING" type="{provider|vendor|employee}" email="STRING" phone="INTEGER" ext="INTEGER" mobile="INTEGER" sms="{0|1}" mail="{0|1}" />
      <system socialURI="STRING" [accessURI="STRING" logins="INTEGER" support="STRING" balance="DECIMAL" prefix="STRING"] />
      <module update="STRING" install="STRING" />
      <dirs data="STRING" logs="STRING" cron="STRING" temp="STRING" />
