Softaculous_SDK Class
You can find the class in PATH/TO/softaculous/enduser/sdk.php
OR
You can download it from the below link:
sdk.zip
Initializing and Authentication
include_once('sdk.php');
$new = new Softaculous_SDK();
$new->login = 'https://user:password@domain.com:2083/frontend/paper_lantern/softaculous/index.live.php';
This will load the Class in $new and we are setting the LOGIN URL as without authentication you will not be able to access Softaculous. The code here is an example of cPanel. cPanel allows User Authentication via the URL itself and many other panels also.
https://user:password@domain.com:2083
If your panel has some different method, you must first implement that code and then proceed.
List Installed Scripts
funtion list_installed_scripts()
- This function has no parameters, it will get you the list of scripts.
eg:
$new->list_installed_scripts(); print_r($new->iscripts);
- Will give you the output :
Array (
[1] => Array
(
[name] => Zikula
[softname] => zikula
[desc] => Zikula is a Web Application Toolkit, which allows you to run impressive websites and build powerful online applications.
[ins] => 1
[cat] => cms
[type] => php
[ver] => 1.2.8
)
[2] => Array

[softname] => phpbb
[desc] => The most widely used Open Source forum solution
[ins] => 1
[cat] => forums
[type] => php
[ver] => 3.0.10
)
.
.
.
- In the above output, Keys like 1, 2, etc are the Script ID’s used often in the Softaculous_SDK while taking backup, importing, etc.
- softname in the above example is the Softaculous Name for the software. It’s value is same as the directory present in the /var/softaculous/[softname] for each script.
Eg:
/var/softaculous/wp
- Where wp is the softname for WordPress.
List Installations
function installations()
- This function has no parameters, it will give you the list of installations on your server.
eg:
$installations = $new->installations(); print_r($installations);
- Will give you the output :

- 26 in the above example is the Script ID of WordPress.
- 26_60832 is the Installation ID.
- wp.26_60832.2012-07-26_10-13-33.zip is the Backup Name.
- Backup Name is generally used for restoring the backup.
- For each Backup, Backup Info is given along with its Installation Details as you can see in above example.
Result Format
- Result of the SDK call can be in three formats:
- Serialize
- JSON
- XML
Serialize
$this->format = 'serialize'; // Serialize is default.
- Below example is of Import SDK. WordPress Installation has been imported into Softaculous.
<?php
@set_time_limit(100);
//Include Class
include_once('sdk.php');
$new = new Softaculous_SDK();
// Login Page
$new->login = 'https://user:password@domain.com:2083/frontend/paper_lantern/softaculous/index.live.php';
$data['softdomain'] = 'domain.com'; // Domain Name
$data['softdirectory'] = 'wp459'; // Directory of the installation
// Submit the details
$res = $new->import(26, $data); // Import Function. 26 is Script ID of WordPress.
echo $res;
?>

More simply, WordPress is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software, not fight it.
<br /><br />WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on hundreds of thousands of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day.

The GPL from the <a href=\"http://www.fsf.org/\">Free Software Foundation</a> is the license that the WordPress software is under.";s:8:"features";s:5413:"<ul>
<li><strong>Full standards compliance</strong> : We have gone to great lengths to make sure every bit of WordPress generated code is in full compliance with the standards of the <a href=\"http://w3.org\">W3C</a>. This is important not only for interoperability with today's browser but also for forward compatibility with the tools of the next generation. Your web site is a beautiful thing, and you should demand nothing less.</li>
<li><strong>No rebuilding</strong> : Changes you make to your templates or entries are reflected immediately on your site, with no need for regenerating static pages.</li>
<li><strong>WordPress Pages</strong> : Pages allow you to manage non-blog content easily, so for example you could have a static \"About\" page that you manage through WordPress. For an idea of how powerful this is, the entire WordPress.org site could be run off WordPress alone. (We don't for technical mirroring reasons.)</li>
<li><strong>WordPress Links</strong> : Links allows you to create, maintain, and update any number of blogrolls through your administration interface. This is much faster than calling an external blogroll manager.</li>
<li><strong>WordPress Themes</strong> : WordPress comes with a <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes\">full theme system</a> which makes designing everything from the simplest blog to the most complicated webzine a piece of cake, and you can even have multiple themes with totally different looks that you switch with a single click. Have a new design every day.</li>
<li><strong>Cross-blog communication tools</strong> : WordPress fully supports both the <a href=\"http://www.movabletype.org/docs/mttrackback.html\">Trackback</a> and <a href=\"http://www.hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback-1.0\">Pingback</a> standards, and we are committed to supporting future standards as they develop.</li>
<li><strong>Comments</strong> : Visitors to your site can leave comments on individual entries, and through Trackback or Pingback can comment on their own site. You can enable or disable comments on a per-post basis.</li>
<li><strong>Spam protection</strong> : Out of the box WordPress comes with very robust tools such as an integrated blacklist and open proxy checker to manage and eliminate comment spam on your blog, and there is also a rich array of plugins that can take this functionality a step further.</li>
<li><strong>Full user registration</strong> : WordPress has a built-in user registration system that (if you choose) can allow people to register and maintain profiles and leave authenticated comments on your blog. You can optionally close comments for non-registered users. There are also plugins that hide posts from lower level users.</li>
<li><strong>Password Protected Posts</strong> : You can give passwords to individual posts to hide them from the public. You can also have private posts which are viewable only by their author.</li>
<li><strong>Easy installation and upgrades</strong> : Installing WordPress and upgrading from previous versions and other software is a piece of cake. Try it and you'll wonder why all web software isn't this easy.</li>
<li><strong>Easy Importing</strong> : We currently have importers for Movable Type, Textpattern, Greymatter, Blogger, and b2. Work on importers for Nucleus and pMachine are under way. </li>
<li><strong>XML-RPC interface</strong> : WordPress currently supports an extended version of the <a href=\"http://plant.blogger.com/api/\">Blogger API</a>, MetaWeblog API, and finally the MovableType API. You can even use clients designed for other platforms like <a href=\"http://zempt.com/\">Zempt</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Workflow</strong> : You can have types of users that can only post drafts, not publish to the front page.</li>
<li><strong>Typographical niceties </strong>: WordPress uses the <a href=\"http://photomatt.net/tools/texturize\">Texturize</a> engine to intelligently convert plain ASCII into typographically correct XHTML entities. This includes quotes, apostrophes, ellipses, em and en dashes, multiplication symbols, and ampersands. For information about the proper use of such entities see Peter Sheerin's article <a href=\"http://alistapart.com/stories/emen/\">The Trouble With Em 'n En</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Intelligent text formatting</strong> : If you've dealt with systems that convert new lines to line breaks before you know why they have a bad name: if you have any sort of HTML they butcher it by putting tags after every new line indiscriminately, breaking your formatting and validation. Our function for this intelligently avoids places where you already have breaks and block-level HTML tags, so you can leave it on without worrying about it breaking your code.</li>
<li><strong>Multiple authors</strong> : WordPress' highly advanced user system allows up to 10 levels of users, with different levels having different (and configurable) privileges with regard to publishing, editing, options, and other users.</li>
<li><strong>Bookmarklets</strong> : Cross-browser bookmarklets make it easy to publish to your blog or add links to your blogroll with a minimum of effort.</li>
<li><strong>Ping away</strong> : WordPress supports pinging <a href=\"http://www.pingomatic.com/\">Ping-O-Matic</a>, which means maximum exposure for your blog to search engines.</li>
