cPanel API 1 Functions - News::displaynews - Knowledgebase

Description

This function displays the contents of server-wide news. It uses the following files as a source (in order):

/var/cpanel/news/global-news
/var/cpanel/news/global-resold (If the root user does not own the cPanel user's account.)
/var/cpanel/news/$owner/news (If neither of the above files exist, the system attempts to display News for the account's owner.)

cPanel API 1 is deprecated. Do not use this function. Instead, we strongly recommend that you use the following newer functions:

UAPI (recommended) — None.
cPanel API 2 — News::get_news — This function retrieves the news of a specified type.

cPanel Tag System (deprecated)

Warning:

In cPanel & WHM version 11.30 and later, cPanel tags are deprecated. This example is present in order to help developers move from the old cPanel tag system to our LiveAPI.
