Initial Platform

[chrisdevelop56]

Hi Everyone first time here so bear with me

 

I am launching a hosting site, and whmcs will be part of it, however what basic platform do i need i currently have joomla 3.0 installed as a base but not sure how whmcs will work with it as there does not seem to be templates which cover joomla.

 

can anyone give me some guidance as i do need to have a whmcs template on the site.

WHMCS is its own standalone system, so you would either want to install it on its own domain/sub-domain, or else a sub-directory of your site. You would then potentially want to modify the standard templates provided with WHMCS to give them the look and feel of your main website.

 

There are also basic integration codes that you can use to include certain content from WHMCS in your CMS (Joomla) - see the following page for a list of these:

Hope this helps.

Additionally, there are limited Joomla plugins available which offer some form of integration - see the following search on the Joomla site for a list of those plugins:

It really depends if you want to continue using Joomla, or if you want to base your whole website on WHMCS.

 

If you want to continue using Joomla, the best option would be to create a WHMCS template that matches your Joomla layout. This is know as "whmcs integration".

 

There's a basic 'how to' guide here:
