Developing for UCP 14+

UCP for FreePBX 14 changed substantially. This is a working list of all the functions/methods and calls that can be used in UCP 14 from any module.

File Structure

The file structure of a UCP module is very similar to that of FreePBX. Firstly create a UCP directory under your module. In there you'll need to create a new class called: Rawname.class.php

There should also be an assets folder, within the assets folder you can have images, css, less and js.

Less and CSS will be merged and compiled on the fly. Less is also global so make sure that you aren't rewriting the entire interface which may cause issues for other modules. It's best to use CSS selectors in LESS files or CSS to contain your styling changes to your module only:

Styling/Library Options

Bootstrap Tables

All available options can also be set through HTML5 data tags: http://bootstrap-table.wenzhixin.net.cn/documentation/

Bootstrap Toggle

For checkboxes we recommend styling them using bootstrap toggle which is included

All available options can also be set through HTML5 data tags: 

Bootstrap Select

We recommend using this method over multiselect because the dropdown will not get stuck inside of modal boxes or containers as the dropdown is attached to the entire document body.

All available options can also be set through HTML5 data tags: https://silviomoreto.github.io/bootstrap-select/options/

Bootstrap Multiselect

This is not a recommended way to show dropdowns in UCP but it is supported for legacy reasons. Options can not be set through HTML5 data tags and the drop down can get stuck in containers (see image below)

UCP Javascript Dialogs

Alert styling uses http://getbootstrap.com/components/#alerts for colors. Using the global UCP.showAlert function is preferred over the standard javascript alert().

The ID for the global Alert Box is "alert_modal". You can use this in conjunction with bootstrap modal events or methods: http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#modals

The callback function is executed when the window is displayed.
