Here is what I have done so far:
1. create a new directory "vmops" under "/var/www/whmcs/modules/servers/" with 755 perms
2. cp the example template.php into the above folder. rename it to vmops.php and replace all instances of "template_" with "vmops_" in this file
In the above, template.php is what comes in the zip file that you can get here: http://www.whmcs.com/members/dl.php?type=d&id=14
I guess my question is more related to missing information. Question being, once I do what I have done in steps 1 and 2, is there a documented way of testing the new module? Note: I have not yet gone as far as putting actual code where it says "# Code to perform action goes here..." in the sample file
Should I expect a new module "vmops" to show up in the list of values for modules? I am not trying to build the module myself and not a PHP expert. I am just looking into establishing a basic handshake between WHMCS and an external system as a POC.
Help much appreciated. If you still need the actual code of vmops.php to help answer, please let me know.
Thanks a lot!
