Domain Checker -- Possible to Merge?

[manicdog]

So, are there any coding specialists out there who know the way to merge the code below with the code WHMCS has?

 

I love this code, personally, as it checks it directly from the box and then provides the choice to the user to buy the domain/hosting without taking you directly to the WHMCS until you click "get" or something like that.

 

Ideas?

Ideas?

[MACscr]

would be nice to see a sample of it running

[MACscr]

wow, be careful. I highly doubt this code is for public use. You took it from AccountLabs Plus

 

http://netenberg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=24171

[manicdog]

Yes, I'm familiar that it's from ALP -- from their public forums, not proprietary.

 

(note, I didn't take it from them as you infer.)

[bedot]

not liking that:

 

> new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");

> new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

 

Would seem to me, that script wants to be running on a windows box.. eww Not 100% what you want to achieve, but WHMCS is 100% customisable and unique domain checkers can be achieved relatively easily.

 

My personal favourite, and the one im going to attempt to imitate something similar is http://www.getdotted.com - purely as you can select to purchase multiple domains. This would require 1 domain to be registered and the rest to be parked, if this was automated.. maybe needs some thought but no doubt can be achieved.

It is completely proprietary as it was made to work directly with ALP. It was also written by one of the ALP devs, which i highly doubt can legally make any code free while on the job. Just because its in public view, doesnt mean you can use it for whatever you like. Content in any forum on any site is not able to be used for any purposes without prior consent from the poster(s). Believe me, i have been doing this job long enough to know the rules.

Unfortunately since WHMCS cant work as a cart, this wouldnt even be possible to order multiple domains at once.

[bedot]

shame, i like the way that domain search works

[MACscr]

I agree, I myself love AJAX style order forms. Man, if WHMCS only supported multiple items (cart style), it would open it up to so many other uses.

[bedot]

I personally would be interested in seeing WHMCS moving towards a cart style order forms, bedot in the next 3 months are looking at add more hardware solutions (firewalls etc) and software solutions (antivirus) and this would make this alot easier as well as the multiple domains.

[MACscr]

Carts definitely complicated the situation. I would recommending searching thte forums to see if its already been brought up as a feature, if not, start the topic and we can continue the conversation there. right now we are kind of hijacking this thread.

your blind, its 06. Get some glasses. =P

haha yes, yes it is.. ill go invest today
