Hello annomander, If your custom pages do not transmit sensitive customer information over the internet, I believe you are good. WHMCS does forces secure (https) connection by default on registration page, shopping cart, and loggin page. The only reason this thread was started is because of mainly loggin fields on other unsecured pages and other forms that might transmit sensitive information on pages other than registration, shopping cart, and client loggin pages. Besides that, in my personal case, as I set my website to force entire website over secure (https) connection, I began to like the idea of showing my customers that my website is secure. As every page of my website is transmitted over secure https connection, my customers are able to see and verify my SSL certificate at any time, while browsing any page of my website. It might not be that important to force entire website over https connection, but I believe that in times when online security is a big concern to online consumers, it is one of the steps that I made, small but none the less reassuring one. Also, besides forcing entire website over https connection, I hosted entire website under subdomain https://secure.mydomain.com,'>https://secure.mydomain.com, so no matter on which page my customers are they always see https://secure... Sincerely, Serg

Hello, This thread sounds way too complicated about such simple thing as sub-domains. I just installed whmcs in specific folder (mydomain.com/whmcs), then created a sub-domain directed to that folder on my server and added that sub-domain to my whmcs license. Could there be any simplest way of doing it? Works perfect for me! Sincerely, Serg

easyhosting, No need to take offense. You read this thread, you communicated your opinion, then received response from us regarding your opinion; consequently, you took steps in further securing your site. Good luck with your business! Sincerely, Serg

tiameg, I am not sure what do you mean by setting up SSL with latest version only? You setting up (install) your SSL on your server, where you host your WHMCS, and it has nothing to do with latest or any version of WHMCS. In general settings of you WHMCS you just set SSL URL where it asks and that's it. If your secure domain (to which SSL had been issued) is the same as your actual site domain, like I have, just put SSL URL in each field: SSL URL and Site URL, as I did. And if you want to force entire WHMCS to be connected through secure connection, then read this thread from the beginning, follow all steps, test it and see if it works for you, if it's not you are welcome to come back to this thread and make a post with an actual details and questions. Sincerely, Serg

Codex, As long as your secure sub-domain is the same you issued you WHMCS license to, then you don't have to do anything to access admin area through your SSL. Sincerely, Serg

SoftDux, black.hat, Why do you want to ask anything from the client? If you want to resell SSL certs, then become an eNom or any specific SSL provider partner, use their informational marketing and website copies material for your website to inform clients about the needed steps. Populate knowledgebase well and your customers would be well informed. 1. Read a lot about SSL certificates! 2. Read VeriSign SSL certificates information! (and info from other SSL providers) 3. Open eNom account (for low start-up rates.) 4. Set up SSL certificate products using enomssl module. 5. Test everything before you lunch your SSL products. 6. Come back to the forum any time w/specific and to the point questions! Good luck! Sincerely, Serg

SoftDux, Considering eNom, yes process is automated. But I don't see any mention of automation process in initial black.hat's question. It looks like black.hat need some education about signup steps, and what to ask from his clients in order to issue VeriSign ssl certificates to them. And as I said, there's no other place to find this info other than on VeriSign website. (rich of information, resources, trainings, guides, whitepapers, etc - you name it) Sincerely, Serg

LaptopFreak, No, I believe it just lets you to login to your HyperSpin account from client/admin areas of WHMCS. Once you loged to HyperSpin you do all the account managing stuff there. But it would be so cool if customers could manage their accounts without leaving client areas though. Sincerely, Serg

BAJI26, Thanks for replying! I kind of spent entire day today going through all template files, trying to figure things out, and finally realized that header.tpl and footer.tpl split the pages in half, just as you pointed out. But, I was very confused at the beginning, as I was looking for side bar menu template and couldn't find it LoL Anyway, it was my first day I got to customization part of my work, and it was exceptionally exciting to see the first steps of my envisioned website come to life. Even though a lot of customization things worked out without any issues, I still got many little things that didn't really work, but I want to read more about 'smarty' as I am new to this template system, and will try to get all my unresolved questions into one thread soon. As of now it's all fun! I am not a web designer 'per se', but it makes me feel so good to be in control, as I can customize WHMCS system the way I want it to look like. Feels great. Sincerely, Serg

Hello, Kind of confused here. Is footer.tpl=side bar template? (V4) Now, </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> in footer.tpl is the actual 'footer' tags? Sincerely, Serg

black.hat, What are you actually talking about? Do you want to become a VeriSign partner? Are you already a VeriSign partner? If not, then sign up and you'll get an access to their huge reseller training material, guides, marketing resources, etc. It's a silly question to ask. Why not visiting VeriSign website and start reading their information Sincerely, Serg

chickendippers, Ok, still do not see a reason to do so. Why not just inform customer 'well' from the beginning about SSL certificate issuance process and need for re-issuance and re-installation after cert would expire, and use information to promote or push longer certificate length periods. Yes, customers want their SSL certs to continue indefinitely, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be honest with them. And isn't it better to offer one-time purchase of certs, and offer available lengths of registrations. 1-2years, 1-5 years, and in some cases 1-10 years, this way those customers that want cert for a long time, don't have to reinstall their cert every year, but will have chance to buy cert for longer period of time, and would have to reinstall their cert once in 2, 5, or 10 years - it's much better than just offer annual payments, (when there shouldn't be annual payments,) and because of this annual bases payment option, customer have to go through re-issuance and re-installation process every single year, because they had no other option offered from the beginning of purchase. Sincerely, Serg

Sparky, Gotcha Is it fully customizable? Is there something (concerning look and feel) that is not customizable in 'defspark'? Thank you, Sparky! Serg

Hi Sparky, Do you have V4 (web20cart) screenshots of your modified shopping cart template? I looked at v3 screenshots, but really want to see how it looks in V4, since in web20cart we already have 'Quick Navigation' links floating on the right side, so where is product groups/categories links going to be with you modified cart in V4 web20cart? Sincerely, Serg

Interesting!
