How do I prevent people from using links I do not want to deal with?

Hi,

 

I see hostgator uses WHMCS

 

however theirs defaults to the order page

 

like this

 

http://www.simplyjoomla.com/billing/order.php'>http://www.simplyjoomla.com/billing/order.php

 

 

my default page is

 

http://www.simplyjoomla.com/billing/

 

how do I only show the things I want to use

 

for example I am not going to use the affiliate feature. I know I could remove it from the php but someone could still access it if they know what the file name is

 

so how can I prevent all this other stuff from being accessed?

You can use .htaccess to handle this.

either remove the files (not sure if this will cause issues), or restrict http access to them in a .htaccess file:

 

<FilesMatch "^(dontallow1|dontallow2|dontallow3)\.php$">

Order allow,deny

Deny from all

</FilesMatch>

 

Very simple and crude but it would work. Replace dontallow# with your php filenames.

Pretty sure HostGator uses ModernBill

They do use modernbill, but they are coding an inhouse system now. (they said nothing on the market could handle their customer load.

Well Modernbill will surely be crumbling, it was so slow even with our fairly modest customer base.

You could just remove any visible links to certain pages.

 

Edit the .tpl files and take out any links you don't want people to see and able to click on. This will keep the pages active and accessible if people type in the URL into their browser, or if you send the link in an email.
