Subliminal Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Hello! I was just wondering if anybody had any integration ideas for our website. I'm not really sure how to or where to integrate WHMCS into the site, as there isn't such a clear header / footer with space in the middle for the full width (you will see a gray bar for info down the left hand side). Does anybody have an idea on how we could integrate, what you would recommend? Cheers. Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebop1065 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 That's the problem I'm having. I'm not used to template based systems. I'm having a hard time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPH Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 For those who have problems integrating their site: http://whmcs.com/integration.php Let the designer handle it for you The price is quite reasonable IMHO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amico Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I am now at this phase ... If you went to the templates\portal folder (or the template folder you are using) you will find two files: header.tpl footer.tpl In the header you can modify this part to include your own logo or header: <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="100%" height="122" style="padding-left:35px; background:url('templates/{$template}/images/whmcslogobg.png') repeat-x;">[img=templates/{$template}/images/whmcslogo.png]</td> </tr> </table> or remodify the whole the files to your convenience. Try to keep variables put by whmcs in the header though. Part of the background, the three-color bar at top is placed in style.css also located at the same folder. You might want to play around with the file to come along your own site atmosphere. One thing, make sure any javascript code is placed in separate js files called within the html files of your website, rather than having it embed, to avoid conflict with whmcs system. Hope that helps ... though I am a beginner myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subliminal Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 For those who have problems integrating their site:whmcs.com/integration.php Let the designer handle it for you The price is quite reasonable IMHO Thanks, I may try that Though, if I carry on to integrate myself, the problem I am having is not a technical problem, I'm quite aware on how to edit the templates etc. What I'm asking is if anyone has a recommendation on the best way in terms of design to integrate WHMCS into our website, based on the current website design. I'm not sure if the design is really fit for WHMCS integration - there isn't just a header and footer, there is also the gray side bar on the left, leaving little space for WHMCS. Perhaps I could remove this side bar for WHMCS? Thanks very much for all of the replies so far though guys! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPH Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 My recommendation would be to remove the side bar or use the portal template and use the side bar navigation integrating it to resemble the side bar you have now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subliminal Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 I think I may do that, yes - remove the side bar from the design for WHMCS with the portal template. I think for the ordering pages, I will keep the side bar on the left and just show the order forms within the current content area. Well... that's my very brief plan for now I haven't looked much at the template files yet so I'm unsure of what areas I can change and in what way, I've only ever edited the header/footer in a different (non the portal) template. I'll let you all know how I get on with it, hopefully it will all turn out well eventually. Thanks for the recommendation PPH! Kind regards, Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subliminal Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 I've done the integration! A small bit of work and it turned out to be a very simple integration with just the header and footer files, you can see it by going to the site in my signature and clicking "Client Area". Nothing special, but it works for us, we just didn't want the client and ordering area to look as though it was an entirely separate site 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPH Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Glad to see you got it sorted out. One of the easiest programs to manipulate that I have come across and hope Matt keeps it that way 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I think that looks pretty good. I would just add some padding to the "You are here" and "please login or register" so it's not touching the ends of the table. Everything else seems good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I did add 2px padding on the left and right there, which improved it for me. Perhaps it just needs a bit more padding? I'll up it to 4px and see how it looks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
