namecheap bulk register/transfer

[floyd]

I cannot find in WHMCS where to enable bulk register/transfer for Namecheap. New single domain searches and registrations work fine. But even when I put in the url domainchecker.php?search=bulkregister only the simple search shows up. Same with transfers.

The registrar you use doesn't affect whois lookups, so this isn't a Namecheap-specific issue. Have you made any template customisations? Does the problem persists using the default template?

[floyd]

I did not ask about whois lookups. Let me know if whois lookups have something to do with what I am asking.

 

http://wiki.whmcs.com/Namecheap

 

Shows that the Namecheap module is capable of transfers.

 

I do have a custom template from nextinspire.com

 

But even using the default template, which I have not modified, only simple search shows up. Not the bulk registration or a page to transfer domains shows up.

The whois lookup is performed before WHMCS even thinks about initiating a transfer with your registrar, so it has everything do do with it.

 

Please open a support ticket with admin and FTP login details for us to investigate further.

I did not know whois was related. Ticket being submitted.

I held off on the ticket because I like figuring stuff out myself.

 

Looking at domainchecker.tpl I see that the links will only show up if bulkdomain search is enabled

 

{if $bulkdomainsearchenabled}

 

I googled bulkdomainsearchenabled in whmcs.com and found this page:

http://wiki.whmcs.com/Domains_Tab

 

So then in the admin of whmcs I looked at Setup -> General Settings -> Domains

 

I tried checking "Bulk Domain Search" and selecting the TLD's and that solved my problem.

 

I initially did not have this checked because I do not want new clients to be able to register domains and potentially be fraud orders and then I have to pay for a domain they registered. Now I see that I can have "Bulk Domain Search" checked and "Allow clients to register domains with you" unchecked and that allows current clients to register and transfer while preventing new clients from potentially generating a fraud domain purchase.

 

So the answer to my question is make sure "Bulk Domain Search" is checked in the "General Settings" area.
