Veus Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Hi, A few people have PMed me about how to setup multi company customization. We have it at both of our sites http://www.cendoo.com and http://www.blizoo.com The blizoo site is almost done and can be seen at http://www.blizoo.com/design All the pages have been customised. As you can see on Blizoo, the link to WHMCS is https://clients.centation.com/?host=Blizoo'>https://clients.centation.com/?host=Blizoo This will bring up the blizoo layout. Once a user has accessed clients.centation.com with the host parameter, a cookie is stored on the users computer stating which host they belong to. Try going to https://clients.centation.com plain, before and after you went to the ?host=Blizoo link. As for the second company, you can see how the layouts are used by first going to: http://clients.centation.com/?host=Blizoo then http://clients.centation.com/?host=Cendoo The Cendoo layout for WHMCS hasnt been customised as much, the blizoo one has had all pages edited. Please let me know what you think. Also if anyone wants the code for this, i will be posting it soon on these forums. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, i havent done any digging yet, but none of your emails will show the company name either. Right? I was planning on doing something like this last year, but there were just to many backend limitations that i didnt want to deal with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veus Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 Are you storing which host they are using in a custom field as well? Nope, the hosting package they are on indicates what host they are with. We have two categories setup in WHMCS, one containing Blizoo packages the other containing Cendoo packages. We dont store a custom field as this would cause to many problems. Aslo this way means the client can have accounts on the 'budget' Blizoo as well as 'professional' Cendoo. Also, i havent done any digging yet, but none of your emails will show the company name either. Right? Well at the moment both Blizoo and Cendoo arent companies. Centation is the company. Everything is billed as Centation with Centation appearing on all the emails. I was planning on doing something like this last year, but there were just to many backend limitations that i didnt want to deal with. We havent changed much on the backend. According to WHMCS all clients are billed by Centation. Its just the front end layouts which change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACscr Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 ok, thats what it thought. You just have it setup for different layouts based on a url/cookie. Just didnt want anyone to have the wrong idea that you can do multi company support (which your subject implies). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trine Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Actually, MAC, in regards to multi company, it should theoretically be feasible, as long as you use a theme for each, as used above, track the company signed up with in a custom field, edit both invoices and pdf to show the correct company name, and additionally, any name, address or telephone appearing on the user end, but assigned to a smarty variable could be replaced with the proper info. The only limitation would be support tickets. This is all not too difficult to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webresellers Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Its really a multi theme that is running through a single copy of whmcs. I like the idea. Can we see some details on how to achieve this? I would have a need for this.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3cellhosting Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 No problem Veus Based on that I gave Blizoo another trawl and found a couple more.. However ber warned, under the 'Email' heading in support. And... Give us a call today, what have you got to loose? Should only be one 'o' = lose? Keep up the good work.

skshost Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Design is great, glad to see something different. Sometimes you don't want people to know you run 2 hosting companies. I personally would have just had one of the domains parked and IF domain.. else.. But your design is great! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpookedOut Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Can you actually do this as in will Matt allow it? This is virtually running 2 copies of WHMCS on the same domain correct? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamski Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 AFAIK it is okay as you are only running one copy In fact when I wanted to use one copy for two domains Matt helped out by posting in the thread! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veus Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 There is only one copy of WHMCS. This is completely legal as all it is is using simple smarty code to switch the css. This can easily be done, as long as the designs of the two layouts you want to use are exact in the html, with all the design in the css. Technically you could have an unlimited amount of brands for your company if you wanted Thank you for all the kind words about the design 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webresellers Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Veus, Can we see a quick "how-to" with an example? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veus Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Very soon, just finishing up the customization. Another issue i have just come across. All our product categories are hidden, so if you go to order.php the drop down box is empty and no products are listed. We have just solved this by adding some PHP which again checks which cookie is set (so which host the user is browsing) and then populates all the products from the relevant category. So we dont need the top drop down box at all and just displays the relevant products. The limitation of this is that we only have two categories, Blizoo and Cendoo. With any reseller packages for Blizoo being a part of the Blizoo category, instead of its own category. This problem could be got around so what you could store them internally as seperate categories and display all products for the named category and the extra one. All of this code will be posted soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webjive Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hey guys/gals, new addon that allows you to customize all outbound communications for client groups!! It has allowed us to appear as multiple brands/companies from our single WHMCS installation. http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.ph...addon-In-Touch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
