Accessing WHMCS Data from Home Page

[SubhSen]

Hi...

I have just installed WHMCS in a folder under my home directory.

How can I access my package data from my home page? Or, do I need to hardcode package plans in home page htmls?

Regards

Hello @SubhSen,

Thanks for your post!

You can use Data Feeds to dynamically extract product related data for display within your front-end website: https://docs.whmcs.com/Data_Feeds

You can link through from there to WHMCS as detailed here: https://docs.whmcs.com/Linking_to_WHMCS

I hope this helps.

the latter - there isn't an option, built into WHMCS, to automatically display products on the home page.

you can edit the templates, e.g to add data feeds and product links as Alex suggested - though I wouldn't use too many (not double figures) data feeds on the same page as it will slow down the page loading time... especially if you're using separate feeds to pull product names, descriptions, prices etc.

you can use action hooks to pull the details from the database and limited working examples have been posted on how to do that in these forums.

to be honest, I think what many users in your position do is to use a third-party theme (some will be free, others not), most of them will have an option to show products on the custom home page.

it really all comes down to your coding knowledge and time or whether you just want a quick solution.

Yes, Brian...I have a bit of coding knowledge. However, there should be an option  in WHMCS to load the Shop in the home page if it is installed in a folder under home directory. 

But, you guys are much more experienced than me.

But, I thank you both, for your help. 

Best...
