methos

do you mean when an admin raises a ticket and you want other staff to see it? if so, have a look at this thread: http://www.whmcs.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7593

this is not a whmcs issue, but the pdo_mysql module is installed against the wrong version of php. you can do a search on the web against "pdo_mysql: Unable to initialize module" to see some explanations of this, or simply pass it on to your server admin to fix it.

I abandoned the project in the end, there is so little interest in purchasing these domains that it is much les effort just to register each one manually

well thanks for all the interesting comments - i haven't actually had any complaints about my prices before, in fact I have a number of customers who think that my prices and services are extremely competitive. I'm not sure where the person is coming from that says I am just trying to rip people off and make a quick buck, at £12.99 for an unlimited master reseller, many of which are using 10-15GB of disk space, it is a full time job to keep the servers running, plus a costly business to lease them - so i am a bit puzzled on that front since my margins are extremely small. however, back to the main point - i was looking for comments on the integration, and thanks to those of you that have done so. the advertising is a necessary evil to attract traffic - it is supposed to be targetted, although i do take the point that most of the time it seems to be advertising a dating site. anyway, thanks for the constructive comments - maybe we can close this thread now.

Good, if your not ready to have your site critiqued, then please do not post in the showcase forums. The whole design is quite lame. Colors are nice, but implemented poorly. as i said, it was actually the integrations - specifically the order forms - that i was looking for some feedback on - i just wasn't expecting that to be ignored and the only comments to be about the content of the advertisers, which is not part of the integration. thank you at least for making some comment about the implementation itself. i guess i chose the wrong forum. it's ok, i'll go away now.

well, i wasnt really after comments on the ads but on the integrations ... ah well, i won't bother next time.

i've been tweaking it for weeks now, but think i've finally got to a usable format. would appreciate any comments. http://tb-hosting.com/ you can login with demo@tb-hosting.com, pw: demo

thanks for that - very enlightening.

I notice that although the WHMCS DirectI account now allows registration of uk domain names, it doesn't allow transfers in - does anyone know if this will be supported at any point? Thanks Tony http://tb-hosting.com

thanks ... it took me a while to discover that it actually was smarty - then at least i could look up the reference I've manged to get it doing more or less what i wanted now - example of my order form at : http://tb-hosting.com/services/order.php?gid=0000000005 would appreciate any comments ... Thanks, Tony

well, i've solved the initial problem by using $num since it is already being incremented as part of the loop, but i am still puzzled as to how to increment another variable without having it print.

Hi all, I am having a headache here whilst trying to create a customised order form template. I used to be halfway proficient a php a few years back, but I have never come across this style of code within curly braces that is used in the templates and trying to get it to do what i want is driving me crazy. I am trying to increment a counter variable within the main loop of the first order form template and the code snippet i am using is shown below. My problem is that everytime I increment the value of $cnt (using $cnt++) it actually prints the value of $cnt to the html output - what the heck am i doing wrong? here is a simplified version of the code (the output extra columns are simply there so i can test the value of $cnt whilst building it) - the first time through the loop it is fine and creates my extra column and tells me $cnt eq 1, but then every other time through it not only does that but echo's the value before incremnting back to the actual html output. How can I stop this echo? {$cnt = 0} {foreach key=num item=product from=$products} <table width="98%"> <tr> <td > <form method="post" action="{$smarty.server.PHP_SELF}?step=2"> <input type="hidden" name="pid" value="{$product.pid}"> [b]{$product.name}[/b] {$product.description} <input type="hidden" name="billingcycle" value="monthly"> <input type="submit" value="{$LANG.ordernowbutton}"> { $cnt++ } </form> </td> {if $cnt eq 1} <td>extra column after 1</td> {/if} {if $cnt eq 2} <td>extra column after 2</td> {/if} {if $cnt eq 3} <td>extra column after 3</td> {/if} {if $cnt eq 4} <td>extra column after 4</td> {/if} {if $cnt eq 5} <td>extra column after 5</td> {/if} </tr> </table> {/foreach} thanks, Tony

Thanks for that. Yep, I still have a lot of work to do on it, and I shall probably remove the icons altogether at some point - i'll keep you posted. Tony

thanks - I have the opportunity to start from scratch, so I am actually building the site around WHMCS. I still need to add a lot of content and figure out exactly what menus i need where.

Hi, I have just begun to integrate WHMCS with a completely new site, so starting from scratch. There is still a lot of work to do, I am just trying to get a feel for the site at the moment, but I would appreciate any feedback on the general look and feel so far. You can log in with the account: demo@tb-hosting.com password: demo but the products are live, so if you should order something and actually pay for it then I won't be refunding you because the domain will be registered and the account set up! Feel free to order without paying on the demo account though. The site is here: http://www.tb-hosting.com/services/ All comments welcome. Cheers, Tony

grins - thanks Joe. I've got him supposedly sorting it now - i'll keep you updated.

ah - thanks for that. have run php info and there is no mention of curl in there at all - can anyone give me advice on what I should be asking the server admin to do? thanks

Hi, I have just had to move my trial installation of WHMCS onto a different server due to a reorganisation, so I began with a fresh install of 3.1.1 which reported that CURL with SSL support was not installed. So, I contacted the server admin and he told me that it was installed, after more failed attempts and much to and from between myself and the server admin he told me that he had just installed it again himself to make sure. However, i am still getting the WHMCS install reporting that CURL with SSL is not installed. Can anyone give me any more ammo I can use with the server admin? Is there maybe some php configuration that needs to be set for it to recognise CURL, or any tactfull way that I can suggest they try the CURL install again. Thanks for any help, since this is a complete showstopper here .....

Hi - I have done both of these things if I manually accept the order then the account is set up, so the package must be set up ok ... I take it from the replies that you would normally expect all of these things to happen on receipt of payment and the order to become active - so with that knowledge i shall keep fiddling with it but if anyone can come up with any other thoughts in the meantime i would apprcieate it. Thanks

Hi, Can someone clear up a query I have about automatic account creation? I have set up a hosting package that is free of charge, and also a domain registration which is free of charge. I have made sure that I have the configuration set so that accounts and registrations are automatically created. I have logged in as a customer and ordered the free domain registration and free hosting account. The customer has received an invoice and also a reciept saying it is paid in full. However, when I log into the admin again, the order is showing as paid, but still pending - the cpanel account has not been set up automatically (if i manually accept it the account gets set up fine). the domain registration part is different again. on the order it is showing as pending and gives me the option to accept it and register the domain - however, the registration had actually been processed through the registry as soon as the order was made. Can someone tell me what i am doing wrong - I want accounts and registrations to become active as soon as they are paid. Thanks

Hi, I am creating a CentralNic registrar module and looking for anyone who like to help me test it. I have so far implemented just the registerDomain function and it appears to be doing the job, but would appreciate some further tests. you will need to have a CentralNic reseller handle in order to test it .... email me at domain.admin@wideworld.web.com or reply here if you are interested. Thanks Tony

a further question related to the above ... is the client's company passed as a parameter to the RegisterDomain function? if so, what is the parameter name? Thanks

I am writing a registrar module for CentralNic, and it would be useful to store the CentralNic Handle as part of the client record, to save having to check with centralNic for an existing record each time (I realise that this will make the registrar module non-satndard though .....) My question is, are custom client fields available for reading and writing as parametrs from registrar modules? if so, how? Thanks

here is the link to the doc ... it's from the manual under modules->registrars->how to .... http://support.whmcs.com/dl.php?type=d&id=7

did you manage to solve this? - that is exactly the problem that I am getting at the moment with a CentralNic module that I am trying to write ..... Thanks.
