mcraedesigns Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 So far so good, I only had one issue with my modifications. I needed to modify the header.tpl to include some changes that I did not see noted on the modified files in the readme. As the SEO function was going nuts and doing crazy stuff, fixing the title line and adding the if statement for the systemurl below fixed it. I basically made this change to my header <title>{$companyname} - {$pagetitle}{if $kbarticle.title} - {$kbarticle.title}{/if}</title> {if $systemurl}<base href="{$systemurl}" />{/if} Just throwing that out there. Other than that, it seems to be working great. Take a look for yourselves.

We plan on adding more later. Also please let me know if anything else is broken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hightekhosting Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 We had upgraded to V3.8 BETA and reported any bugs in ours and we've now stepped up to the V3.8.1 Stable. Very much a great success for Matt and the WHMCS team and we'll continue to support WHMCS for years to come The rate of expansion to the product, addition of features and ongoing support is what makes WHMCS provail over many other products, and with the bucketload of new features in WHMCS V3.8.1, it really does make business management and client management so much easier! Well done team, you deserve to reap the rewards now! On to V4.0! Cheers, Dale Evans Manager 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isdoo Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Looking forward to 3.8.1 - going to upgrade this one myself, as we had several errors from paying to upgrade the previous version & couldn't put in a ticket for them as our support had expired. Have now paid for the renewal, and just awaiting for the licence to be updated. I assume this is a manual thing as it did not update straight away. Anyway looking forward to upgrading and taking advantage of the new features 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagfull Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 The variable {$systemsslurl} is missing in 3.8.1 when we run {debug}, we use this in our custom templates! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrat Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) @mcraedesigns I just had a look at your implementation of this and it works perfectly. Thanks for posting. Edited December 14, 2008 by redrat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisGooding Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) A quick question... Is there no DB update with this? I did the upgrade as usual, however going to install.php just gave me a page saying the update was complete. This is odd, as there is usually a db update...? Update below....... Just looked at the install files, and it looks like the upgrade381.sql file is almost blank, whereas the upgrade380.sql file is chocka with stuff to update.... Do we need to upgrade to 3.8.0 first then upgrade to 3.8.1 after? Edited December 14, 2008 by ChrisGooding 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weswebdesign Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Successful Upgrade here too! I love it. One thing I see right now is that the new quote system needs to have something in the Client Area for the clients to respond to. Like the "My Emails" or whatever.. Just to show the clients recent quotes so they can view, respond to, and even approve themselves to that will make it in an invoice for them to pay. Other than that, WONDERFUL! Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcraedesigns Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Just to let you know you page at http://www.happystarhosting.com/support.html which is obtained by clicking on support in your header looks a bit odd compared to the other pages. Can you provide a screen capture of what you mean? Is something out of place or just because it is lacking content? I just reviewed on IE7, Chrome, FF3 and I am not sure what you mean. I may also just re-route that link to here: http://www.happystarhosting.com/billing/index.php as that page is not exactly necessary. Let me know, and thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitetech Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) We have a problem with SEO, it does not work. We have renamed the htaccess.txt to .htaccess and enabled the option in the General Menu. It does rewrite, but not right. Switching to catogories works good. But selecting articles: /whmcs/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=5 becomes /whmcs/knowledgebase/2/knowledgebase/4/Sponsoring.html with a 404 error as result. BTW, everything else works fine Edited December 15, 2008 by Sitetech 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicToMeyeZR Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 ?action=productdetails This is the url that is done when in the client area and you click on product and services, then click on the little product details icon button. ?? Any ideas. It just takes you back to the main page. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

web2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 The same happen here. If I remove the following in header.tpl all is OK. {if $systemurl}<base href="{$systemurl}" /> {/if} Any idea? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Smarty was the solution. clientareaproducts.tpl is updated in 3.8 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted December 16, 2008 WHMCS CEO Share Posted December 16, 2008 Smarty was the solution. clientareaproducts.tpl is updated in 3.8 It actually wasn't, but people who have older versions of some templates with {$server.PHP_SELF} are getting this issue after adding the base href setting so need to do a search replace for {$server.PHP_SELF} and replace with {$smarty.server.PHP_SELF} as there's a couple of templates that may contain it from earlier releases.

AndrewMKP Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Matt, could you elaborate on which files contain it? When I add the above code it comes up with a fatal error etc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicToMeyeZR Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Ahh, that makes sense.. I thought for sure mine were all the lastest since this was only my second upgrade. But I guess I missed the template files somehow. Thanks Matt for the info. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkatz0 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I am having an issue where in the Client Area -> My Hosting Packages -> View Details returns to the Client Area rather then showing the details at: index.php?action=productdetails&id=whatever This was not fixed by copying over the updated .tpl files. If anyone knows anything we can beat tech support! Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isdoo Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 If you get a fix can you post it if it is a generic issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkatz0 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Ok, I see what the issue is, there are some older formed links in header/footer.tpl that need to be updated. Those are my main integration files, in fact the only ones we've changed so far. So if anyone has this issue please avail yourself! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkatz0 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 ps - there is a new /default/images directory which will need to be copied over if you integrate the links style of the new header.tpl as that is where it finds the graphics now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
