How do I add more TLDs to my search

[hostxls]

Hello,

 

I use to have more search results when searching for a free domain.

 

But now I only receive the (dot) com result where it use to be . org, .net, .bizz etc etc

 

How do I get more search results for a domain?

Hi,

How do I get more search results for a domain?

that's a WordPress page and (I think) not using any WHMCS functionality.

 

there must be a feature within the easyweb template that allows for that domain lookup functionality on the homepage - but I suspect the errors are happening because the template is over a year old and not compatible with WHMCS v7.2

Oh, I had this problem before updating to WHMCS v7 but didn't got the change to fix it.

And the theme has been updated but still is not running on PHP 7 unfortunately.

I think you are right, the most errors are due to the upgrade to PHP7. We are running on PHP5.6

It make it hard to solve some issues. I also had an issue with the cron jobs because WHMCS isn't corresponding with other systems due to the upgrade.

Hello Brian,

I thought I'm going around the system and work directly from the WHMCS client website but then this hit me like a truck.

 

What am I doing wrong or do not understand. In my opinion this should not say " Congratulations, hostxls.com is available! "

It should have said " this domain in NOT available.

Can someone help me out here please!

I think the problem was you had renamed your "resources" folder to "resource" - i've changed it back to "resources" and it seems ok to me now.

You are my hero brian.

I wouldn't have think about that. How did you know?

You are my hero brian.

because the results were showing well-known domains, such as google.com, as available... that usually means a bad whoisservers file, or with v7, a missing dist.whois.json...

Well what i did is, I have use the WHMCS TLD search code instead of the one of the theme.

The only problem with this is that the button is on the left and not on the right.

 

How can I make changes to the form script to make look like : http://prntscr.com/fgksnl

quick fix might be to remove type="text" from the query input in the form field... longer fix would be to assign a new css class to the input field to style how you want it to look.

 

another way would be to find out what the code for the old form was before you removed it.

[hostxls]

Oh that is a hard one for me. I'm not a scripter

 

Is it possible just to copy and past the script from this url; http://prntscr.com/fgllsn

into the front page?

you don't really need to be a scripter to remove type="text" from the code!

that would just copy the form components - not the css... and I doubt you want to copy the WHMCS css across to the WordPress page as it might cause all sorts of layout problems.

 

 

that's what it looks like (above) if you make the two tweaks I made to the css class (below)..

 

 

though as I say, ideally you would need to use a new class based on this as otherwise it might have consequences throughout the site.

[hostxls]

So even if I want to tweak it, it may cost problem on other parts of the website.

I had remove the "text" from the form only and the thing shrink in one small line so I had to place it back.

But seriously, what you are saying is that it maybe best to create a new class.

 

Why is it that when I'm coming up with a solution for a problem the next problem is on my doorstep.

That is really weird.

only if you make the simple change I suggested - i've no idea how often that code is used elsewhere in the WP site, so that's why I said it may cause issues.

I noticed that too when I tried it in Firefox, but it was the quickest way of getting the alignment correct!

 

But seriously, what you are saying is that it maybe best to create a new class.

i'm saying that for this one form, you don't really want to change the existing class in case it's used elsewhere (though if it isn't, then change it).

 

you'd either have to do create a new class in your WP CSS or just use inline-styling on this one form.

it might be a little late now to do this, but if it were me, i'd have just modified the existing form that was there (found from Google cached version)...

<div id='domain-form'>
   <div id='wdc-style' >
       <form method='post' action='./' id='form' class='pure-form'> 
           <input type='hidden' name='item_id' value='https://hostxls.com/clients'>
           <input type='hidden' name='tld' value='com, net, org, info, biz,'>
           <div class='input-group large' style='max-width:900px;'>
                <input type='text' class='form-control' autocomplete='off' id='Search' name='domain' placeholder=''>
                     <span class='input-group-btn'>
                   <button type='submit' id='Submit' class='btn btn-default btn-info'>Search Domain</button>
                     </span>
           </div>
       </form>
   </div>
</div>

change the action URL, remove the two hidden fields, and change the name of the text input and it should have looked the same... but worked.

<div id='domain-form'>
   <div id='wdc-style' >
       <form method='post' action='https://hostxls.com/clients/cart.php?a=add&domain=register' id='form' class='pure-form'> 
           <div class='input-group large' style='max-width:900px;'>
                <input type='text' class='form-control' autocomplete='off' id='Search' name='query' placeholder=''>
                     <span class='input-group-btn'>
                   <button type='submit' id='Submit' class='btn btn-default btn-info'>Search Domain</button>
                     </span>
           </div>
       </form>
   </div>
</div>

 

 

but if you've made more changes to your WP, then that may no longer work.

 

btw - looking at that original form, it occurred to me why it no longer works (e.g only found .com and not the rest) - it's probably using the Bulk domain searching option of WHMCS, but that feature got removed in v7.
