Help with Custom Homepage

[John.Helyar]

Hi there

 

Hope you can help i am fairly new to changing the whole look and feel of WHMCS we are currently working on the last version before 6 so i am trying to get my head around WHMCS 6 before we do the update let me explain what i am doing

 

Currently I have a wordpress site with a bridge to WHMCS but looking at WHMCS 6 i should be able to put everything on that and not have to use a wordpress site.

 

So my question/problem is that i am getting lost in how to edit the homepage and how to create new pages for my other products

 

i have read about using hooks and using one of the post been able to tweak my main Nav Bar but i cant seem to find info on adding info direct to the home page how to to tweak the Shortcut bar under where it says What would you like to do today? i cant even find where to change that at the mo.

 

So if any one can give me some hints and tips and point me in the right direction that would be great

 

Cheers

 

John

Hi John,

if you contact support and ask for a free development license, you'll be able to develop WHMCS v6 on a test installation while your current v5/wordpress site continues to function.

you can modify that by editing six/header.tpl...
