Passing MD5 to template
I've been a linux admin for 13 years so I know my way around a linux server. But I'm a noob when it comes to cpanel API. So I apologize in advance for my ignorance.
I have created a global header template. /var/cpanel/customizations/includes/global_header.html.tt
It works great. However, the part where I'm stuck, I have a string inside this template that I need to convert using MD5 or SHA1. I've been unable to access the perl module MD5 or SHA inside the template.
Anyone have any ideas on maybe how to access an MD5 function inside the template?
Or maybe I need to write a perl plugin that returns the md5 string to the template.

Howdy, Probably the easiest way to do what you need to would be to write a UAPI module with a subroutine that does what you need, and then invoke that from within your header template. UAPI modules are just Perl modules written a specific way and stored in /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/API. Once a UAPI call is available, calling it from inside Template Toolkit code just looks like "execute( 'Module', 'function', { 'key' => 'value' } );" UAPI - Custom UAPI Modules - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation If you have any more questions about this, please don't hesitate to ask.
