How to remove WHMCS application links

Introduction

If you remove WHMCS, or if you move an account to a server without WHMCS, the WHMCS application links remain enabled in the account. To remove these links, you must run two API calls, then manually remove the UI cache.

Note: in these examples, $user represents the username for which the links will be removed, and $app represents the individual application link to be removed.

 

To remove all links for a user

  1. Remove the integration group: 
    whmapi1 --output=json remove_integration_group user=$user group_id=whmcs
  2. Remove the integration links: 
    whmapi1 --output=json list_integration_links user=$user | /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/perl -e 'use Cpanel::JSON; my $json = Cpanel::JSON::Load(<STDIN>); for my $item ( @{$json->{data}->{links}} ) { my $thing = $item->{app}; print qx{whmapi1 remove_integration_link user=$user app=$thing}; };'
  3. Remove the UI cache: 
    mv -v /home/$user/.cpanel/datastore/AVAILABLE_APPLICATIONS_CACHE_en_paper_lantern /home/$user/.cpanel/datastore/AVAILABLE_APPLICATIONS_CACHE_en_paper_lantern.bak

 

To remove a single application link for a user

  1. Display the application links enabled for the user: 
    whmapi1 list_integration_links user=$user
  2. Remove the link for the user: 
    whmapi1 remove_integration_link user=$user app=$app
  3. Remove the UI cache for the user: 
    mv -v /home/$user/.cpanel/datastore/AVAILABLE_APPLICATIONS_CACHE_en_paper_lantern /home/$user/.cpanel/datastore/AVAILABLE_APPLICATIONS_CACHE_en_paper_lantern.bak
