Whois setting for custom TLD?

[polyglot2]

(Sorry for posting three threads in a row. This is a result of a whole weekend of testing.)

 

Suppose I add some custom TLD, say .xx (it's actually a country TLD which has its own web-based whois and registration system), how do I set how WHMCS whois setting? Currently it always does a whois on the domain, and always displays the domain as available.

 

Thanks in advance.

check this file:

whmcs_dir/includes/whoisservers.php

 

where whmcs_dir is your installation directory.

 

make sure the whois entry or your extension is set up correctly

 

The entry should look like this:

 

".com|whois.crsnic.net|No match for"

 

meaning: ".extension|whois server|available string"

 

make sure all the info is correct in there.

 

i hope this helps

I see, so it's that simple.

 

But what about TLDs which do not provide whois server and only provide web-based interface? Perhaps I need to provide a whois server wrapper for it?

[minadreapta]

in most cases the web-based interface you are talking about is doing a query to the whois server...then it outputs the results...

 

 

ask the domain registrar provide you with the whois server address...

never mind, looking from includes/whoisservers.php, turns out that whmcs also support http-based query. thanks whmcs!
