Hello guys, I would like to run a scenario by you and if you could verify if it is possible. I am very comfortable writing code and customizing things as long as I know it is doable and won't blow in my clients face I have two+ different subscription services plus products to order. Subscription 1 Users will subscribe to read articles and participate in private forum. Subscription 2 Users will sign up for special hosting, their website is automatically setup for them and they can customize fields on special client are. Products for sale Physical products for sale so this would be a shopping cart. For Subscription 1, it is straight forward, they subscribe and provide their credit card information. They would be charged setup fee plus monthly subscription. I don't see this being an issue. Well the only issue is one login share type interface with WordPress, but will get over it. For Subscription 2, it is little more trickier. It is hosting, like any other hosting but I will have a custom CP that users will be able to customize custom information. I do not have a need for the main page as shown on http://www.whmcs.com/screenshots.php, I just want to customize CP for the client and allow them to access components of WHMCS such as billing history, updating their info, adding domains, plus the custom actions they will take. I just don't want to display the standard WHMCS screen. I want to customize everything for my site. For Products, it will be a one time billing shopping cart type thing. I understood from what I have seen that they cannot select quantities and such. Can I use external shopping cart and let WHMCS handle the checkout only? or what are my options here? this is little confusing from what I have read. Thanks in advance guys, so far WHMCS is a great product and what I will be going with, I just need to figure out my development plan and budget allocation for the projects.

who said I am selling hosting? I am selling a custom application that allows my customers to use it as their own. Besides, what does customizing a 3rd party application has to do with the hosting?

I am not familar with the code, but could you add javascript to retrieve the object and change its width at runtime?

Thanks herpherp Yes I went through the documentation, but could not find some answers. Let me run by you what I understood and you tell me where my logic breaks: 1. Install WHMCS on my server under /clients folder. This allows me to use mydomain.com/clients and have WHMCS as part of my site 2. Use the templates to provide integrated look into my site and make it look as part of my site 3. Use the integration code generated to allow the user to place an order and sign up from my front page 4. Create a custom module which will get notified when a new user has signed up and paid so I can setup the website for them. This notification process/custom module will be able to retreive or get enough information to retrieve the user data (name, login, email, domain..etc.), most likely by email from WHMCS 5. From this point on, the customer login process will go through WHMCS and not my own custom code 6. Once user logs in, he will see WHMCS's client area and not mine 7. I can however modify client area and add as much funtionality I need by adding pages, changing the layout and so forth. The new pages and added functionality will be querying my database not WHMCS's database so I just need the logged in user information 8. Since it is my code, I can write directly to my tables and i don't need much from WHMCS unless the user modifies something I need to manage in my site 9. I really don't need something like cPanel. I will be presenting the user with the customized WHMCS client management area for them to manage their accounts Do I understand the overall process correctly?

Hello all, I am setting up a niche hosting where my clients will not get access to any diskspace or physical accounts on a machine. My clients will simply sign up for an account and all I need for my hosting is: 1. Their full name 2. Company they work for 3. Company Address (not their billing address) 4. Logo 5. Picture 6. Slogan 7. Ability to sign in to change these information. I know this is out of WHMCS scope, but I am hoping someone would have an idea how to implement that with WHMCS. I am open to buying other products, or developing a custom one. My questions if you're kind enough to answer: 1. Since the users will be signing in through WHMCS, I assume they can continue to manage the above fields by creating a custom page and get this information from? 2. How do you integrate WHMCS into your overall site. Any sample sites that use WHMCS to see how they integrate it in their overall design? I assume WHMCS is not a standalone website hosting solution. 3. I need to create accounts for the users in my custom solution to generate their websites and run some custom configurations on the server. How can I accomplish this and detect changes done by the user, or when they first sign up to perform all that work? Thank you in advance! Fadi Fadi
