VPS/Dedicated Server and Domain in Order

[ddenev]

Hi,

 

I have the option 'Show Domain Options' enabled in my VPS/Dedicated Server product. But when I order this product I don't see the prompt to register a new domain. Do I have to change the template in order to show it? Is domain selection not there for a reason? Thank you.

The domain options on a server are not the same as a shared hosting account - they are the server hostname, nameservers and root password.

Thanks. But what if I want to provide VPS and domainname in a single order? Is this possible or do the customers have to place two separate orders? Thank you.

[Matt]

No, that is not possible.

[ddenev]

No, that is not possible.

 

But judging from the order-steptwo.tpl it does not even care about the 'Show Domain Options' setting when product type is VPS:

{if $producttype eq "server" }

<table width="90%" align="center">
<tr><td width="25%">{$LANG.orderserverhostname}:</td><td><input type="text" name="hostname1" size="12" value="{$hostname1}"> [b].[/b] <input type="text" name="hostname2" size="40" value="{$hostname2}"></td></tr>
<tr><td>
</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2>{$LANG.orderservernameserversdescription}</td></tr>
<tr><td>{$LANG.orderservernameservers}:</td><td>{$LANG.orderservernameserversprefix1}: <input type="text" name="ns1" size="8" value="{$ns1}"> {$LANG.orderservernameserversprefix2}: <input type="text" name="ns2" size="8" value="{$ns2}"></td></tr>
<tr><td>
</td></tr>
<tr><td>{$LANG.orderserverrootpassword}:</td><td><input type="password" name="rootpassword" size="20"></td></tr>
</table>

{else}

{if $registerdomainenabled}
<input type="radio" name="domainoption" value="register" id="selregister" onclick="document.getElementById('register').style.display='';document.getElementById('transfer').style.display='none';document.getElementById('owndomain').style.display='none';document.getElementById('subdomain').style.display='none'"> <label for="selregister">{$LANG.orderdomainoption1part1} {$companyname} {$LANG.orderdomainoption1part2}</label>

{/if}

If I am not wrong then where is the 'Show Domain Options' option used for VPS servers? Or am I wrong? Thank you.

Try disabling it in the admin area on a server product, you will find you can't. That tick box only works on products set to the type "Other".

[ddenev]

Yes I agree but I was wandering what effect does it have on VPSs since it is on by default (greyed also) for them.

 

I hope I don't bother you too much with my questions
