[WHMCS ChrisD]

Welcome to the August 2016 community wrapup this is a new post we'll be doing each month to help highlight some of the things happening on the community forums during the month. The wrap-up is a work in progress and we welcome your feedback either in a reply below or you can open a private thread in the Forum Assistance category

 

Taking a quick look at the stats for the month:

 

• During August we saw 368 new members joining the WHMCS Community Forums which saw us clock over 65,000 registered members!
  
• We had 302 new threads created during the month and 1,328 posts across the community making August the busiest posting month of 2016
  
• August 3rd and August 9th where the busiest days in the community with 165 users logging in
  

Every month we'll hand pick a few posts to highlight in our monthly wrap up:

 

1. Forum: Preview Release Discussion
   Many of our users will be aware that WHMCS v7 is currently in beta, we're all pretty excited by the feedback we're getting from the community if you've not had a chance to take a look at the V7 beta head on over to the forum and take a look
   
2. Upgrade 6.0.0
   Arjanvr asks how to upgrade to the most recent release (6.3.1) and the community helps by providing help and guidance along with a few tips and tricks when the dreaded White
   Screen appeared during the upgrade.
   
3. Action hook to send values to external page
   Frankc needed some assistance on showing certain data on an external page using hooks there the community had a few handy ideas for achieving the desired result which Frankc achieved with a bit of a workaround
   
4. New TLD No Pricing Boxes Visiable
   3awh was experiencing issues with the pricing boxes not appearing on his installation when editing the domain pricing. The discussion touch on a number of possible issues this could have been including the solution which was mySQL Strict Mode being enabled.
   
5. Currency Selector on header.tpl
   Thembi discusses how he would like the ability to display currencies in the selector when a user is logged in or out. There is a great discussion full of ideas of ways to achieve this.
   

 

That wraps up our community overview for August albeit a work in progress!
