opensrs template change to adhere to the .co promo requirement

[durangod]

.co and others are running a promo on opensrs, i am currently adding logos as we speak. But i just went thru this .co process and i wanted to share it.

 

here is the promo page

 

http://opensrs.com/site/services/domains/pricing/promos/78-services/468-co-q4-2013

 

the other promos are on the page before that.. anyway if you look at item 2 on that page it says

 

2.Search Pulldown or TLD Options: In each search box or area with options for domain name availability on the Reseller Site the TLD should be listed as the default or second option of top level domain choices.

 

this means that you not only need to change your html pages of your site. But also the tpl files of your WHMCS to adhere to this requirement.

 

So here is how you do it... What they want is for the .co to be default... i will show you how to do the domain register, and

remember domain transfers and renew DO NOT qualify for this so you dont have to do them

 

 

i use comparison so open up orderforms/comparison/configureproductdomain.tpl

 

and look for this section of code below..

 

 

they changes have been made, if you notice all i did was i added a option value above the foreach so when you load that page (you do so by clicking order, then select a hosting plan, then you will see the page) you will see .co as the default.

 

I have not done the others pages yet (like the register domain link) but im sure they are pretty much the same or similar. I also have not done step 3 on the requirements yet so we will see.

 

Hope this helps..

 

<div class="domainreginput" id="domainregister">
www. <input type="text" id="registersld" size="30" value="{$sld}" /> <select id="registertld">
<option value=".co" selected="selected">.co</option>
{foreach key=num item=listtld from=$registertlds|@sorttld}
<option value="{$listtld}"{if $listtld eq $tld} selected="selected"{/if}>{$listtld}</option>
{/foreach}

 

 

ps.. just fyi all i did was add their image to my home page, link it to the promos page html, and the make a promo in admin for that tld, price override 1 year 1time any hosting plan, new members only. I think that covers it.

the other file is adddomain.tpl same process..

I also had some questions on this... .info was very easy but .co seems to really split hairs so here is my post with the questions i had.

In regards to this http://opensrs.com/site/services/domains/pricing/promos/78-services/468-co-q4-2013

Does this include .co.uk or is this just for .co domains?

 

 

Also in item 1 on that page..

 

1. Front-of-Site Placement: A permanent banner ad containing the .CO logo and brand marketing message on the home page of Reseller’s website above the fold in no less than a 75% rotation during the promotion.

 

Can you please have them explain exactly what "brand marketing message" is? Is that some kind of .co slogan that we have to use on the image. Please advise..

 

also i use the namespinner as a suggestion tool. It does not allow me to use .co

 

$tlds = array('.com', '.net', '.org', '.biz', '.us', '.info');

 

/*

**************************************

* .tv is not supported to look up *

* .ca is not supported to look up *

* .co is not supported to look up *

* options for array include (.com, *

* .net,.org,.biz,.us,.info); *

**************************************

*/

 

does this violate item 2 ?

 

2.Search Pulldown or TLD Options: In each search box or area with options for domain name availability on the Reseller Site the TLD should be listed as the default or second option of top level domain choices.

 

also number 3

 

3.Search Results (domain availability): At a minimum, whenever the .CO Domain equivalent is available, it should be listed as the default or second option in the Search Results Page appearing on the Registrar Site after a user performs a domain name availability search.

 

we dont have control over this, this would be on the opensrs (registrar) end to provide that search result for us in the return array..
