Our domain margin dropped since v7 upgrade

[nimonogi]

Since v7, domainchecker.php has been depreciated and replaced with a shopping cart page.

 

The problem with that page is that our available TLDs are not displayed anywhere, hence our customers have no idea what TLDs are available and they just do .com/.net lookups, where most domains are already taken. That is causing us to lose domain registrations and clients, since they are forced to visit other providers for their domain name lookups.

 

It is ESSENTIAL that the new shopping cart page has at least a link that opens a modal window where people can have a look at our available TLDs and their pricing.

Hello Nimonogi,

 

Thanks for getting in touch, we certainly appriciate that some users still require a domain pricing page this is something our team are working to implement in a future release, we have a case CORE-10363 which will address these concerns, in the meantime there are a couple of options.

 

You could add all your TLD's the the "WHOIS Standard Configuration" under Setup -> General Settings -> Domains -> Configure, this way when a user searches they will see the pricing for all domains based on their search. There are also a couple of posts on the forum where users have provided code that will allow you to restore the functionality in the meantime.

 

Thanks again and please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for your suggestions. I've already coded a solution. Consider this as a feedback.

The domain pricing page is removed? That is the first thing people do when looking for domains, really...

 

I'm now convinced that v7 is not an upgrade but a downgrade. So many things removed... why? I don't want to hack around code just to be able to display pricing.
