cPanel API 2 Functions - Branding::addbrandingobj

Warning:

The cPanel API 2 system is deprecated. We strongly recommend that you use UAPI instead of cPanel API 2.

Description

This function adds an item to the current dynamicui.conf file.

Note:

cPanel API 2's Branding module only modifies data for the x3 theme. We removed the x3 theme. For more information, read our cPanel Deprecation Plan documentation.

Warning:

We strongly recommend that you use UAPI instead of cPanel API 2. However, no equivalent UAPI function exists.

cPanel Tag System (deprecated)

Warnings:
  • cPanel tags are deprecated. We strongly recommend that you only use the LiveAPI system to call the cPanel APIs. Examples are only present in order to help developers move from the old cPanel tag system to our LiveAPI.
  • cPanel API 2 calls that use cPanel tags vary in code syntax and in their output.
  • For more information, read our Deprecated cPanel Tag Usage documentation.

Command Line

syntaxhighlighter-pre
cpapi2 --user=username Branding addbrandingoobj file=brandingchanges
Notes:

  • You must URI-encode values.

  • username represents your account-level username.

  • You must run the --user=username option.

  • For more information and additional output options, read our Guide to cPanel API 2 documentation or run the cpapi2 --help command.

  • If you run CloudLinux™, you must use the full path of the cpapi2 command:

    syntaxhighlighter-pre
    /usr/local/cpanel/bin/cpapi2
