File Manager large directory warning evolution new

An alert now appears when a directory contains more than 10,000 items (between table and actions toolbar). It shows the total number of items and how many are currently displayed.

Inside the alert, a name filter input was added so you can quickly narrow the visible list to specific files or folders without leaving the page.

Large directory warning

Menu customization page (located in Customize Evolution Skin -> Menu) has the following improvements:

  • Removed most confirmation windows to speed up workflow. Kept confirmation only for critical actions like "Reset to Defaults".
  • Introduced edit, remove and restore buttons for categories and entries. This means that clicking an item will no longer bring up the edit window, or clicking item when it's disabled - restore it. Instead, actions will now have dedicated buttons.
  • Categories and entries inside them can be dragged by holding click anywhere inside them. This is to make the process of customizing categories similar to regular menu entries.

Show features that user has access to when creating domain evolution fix

Within the domain creation page (located in user level -> Account Manager -> Add New) the checkboxes for "Secure SSL", "CGI Access", "PHP Access" were shown even if user was configured to have no control over these features.

Removed File Manager Preferences modal evolution removal

The File Manager Preferences modal (previously containing the toggles: Color Scheme, Folder Tree, and Preferred Archive Type) has been removed.

Changes:

  • Color Scheme: Removed because light/dark mode selection already exists in Profile -> Skin Options.
  • Folder Tree: Removed to simplify user interface. On mobile, a floating button to expand the folder tree is now always available.
  • Preferred Archive Type: Moved to Profile -> Skin Options -> Other.

Removed chpasswd configuration option from directadmin.conf removal

The system default chpasswd tool will be used instead of using a specific location configured in the directadmin.conf file.

CMD_SSL: Auto SSL for 'Manual Trigger' provides option for Pointers and Subdomains new

Previously, the Manual Trigger was only for the master domain, but did provide checkboxes for Domain Pointers and Subdomains. Should a pointer or subdomain renewal fail, or a manual trigger be required, without requesting anything else, the only way was to delete or re-add the pointer, or request everything and quikcly remove the requests that were not required. This change will provide a select/dropdown on the Manual Trigger tab, allowing the selection of the desired master domain, pointer, or subdomain on the master or pointers.

When selecting a domain pointer, if the wildcard checkbox is not checked but the subdomains checkbox is checked, DirectAdmin will now build requests for each subdomain from it's master domain without needing to make a request for each subdomain on the domain pointer.

Currently, only the Enhanced skin has recieved this change. The Evolution skin should be updated shortly to support this new functionality.

Extra information will now be output with the call to be able to fill the select's host options if Auto SSL is allowed:

CMD_SSL?domain=master-domain.com&json=yes

eg:

"manual_trigger_hosts":
{
	"pointer.com":
	{
		"type": "pointer"
	},
	"master-domain.com":
	{
		"type": "domain"
	},
	"sub.pointer.com":
	{
		"type": "subdomain"
	},
	"sub.master-domain.com":
	{
		"type": "subdomain"
	}
},

It is no longer possible to create categories which acts as links. In case user previously had such categories, they will now be returned as regular categories where the first item inside that category is the link.
