BigGainz Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I want to add additional instructions for the customer on this page, like for example customers who dont have a username already (new to the service) are leaving this blank and getting horrible auto created usernames. I want to let them know they can make up their own username here. When I purchased whmcs through the salesman on skype he suggested I allow them to install everything also. There were no directions at all on how to modify anything really, when I view the actual files on the server they look to be coded so that you cannot modify them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange but I followed your path and found the configureproduct.tpl with no problem. tried inserting <p>Here is a test sentence</p> at probably 20 different places with no luck at all. This looks like JavaScript imbedded in php ? I am a novice but do know a little about programming so I feel like I should have definitely been able to figure this out, it has me stomped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like I got scammed 😞 The weird thing is that I somehow found this guy through a google search and swore I got his info from the WHMCS site? He even linked me to this community when I asked him questions, which seems strange for him to do if he is not legit? When I screenshotted the license Verification page his only response was "This is not related to the billing module that we have provided to you. You can ignore it." I am trying to figure out how to make this right as obviously I never tried to purchase something that isnt correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a WHMCS installation they provided? If so, it's definitely related. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
