sparky Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Ever wanted to incorporate those 404 error pages into your website to make them look like they are part of your site. Now you can with custom error pages that display using your custom whmcs theme template. All error pages have been covered from error 100 through to error 510. Also included is security for your whmcs install with the ability to hide your whmcs files, templates, and directories and show to the user a 404 not found error. An update for the announcements, downloads, and knowledgebase SEO rewites to allow trailing slashes along with a fix for the base href http url with https on custom pages. to try it out, go to http://tshosting.com.au/templates/default/clientareahome.tpl (that file does exist) Or try http://tshosting.com.au/errorpage.php?error=500 You can also change the number on the end to any apache error code. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 hmm just noticed that you are charging double to have it without branding? great solution and was going to buy until that put me off It's not double at all. It is $15 with a very small powered by line and $10 to remove the branding. This is the powered by line bellow and at most it will only ever show if there is an error page shown and would be for a maximum of 10 seconds.

twhiting9275 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 This is just a rip of my mod that's been publicly available for years (for free, no less) @ http://www.linux-tech.net/whmcs-addons.php . No linkback required, no charge, this is a no-brainer mod, with about 5 seconds of code. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No linkback required, no charge, this is a no-brainer mod, with about 5 seconds of code. I have never heard nor seen of your very basic mod and mine is DEFINATLY NOT A RIP OF ANY SORT and is also far more advanced from what I just saw. Maybe, before you open your mouth you should check your facts first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twhiting9275 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'm not going to comment any more in this thread. The mod has been reported to the administrators as what it is, theft. You're right, this is a very basic mod, which has been available publicly (for free) for years now. Changing a few variables around won't change the fact that you copied the mod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro67 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Mr Whiting, please check your facts before spewing forth such junk. Perhaps you should have started with a PM request,nor is there any difficulty in actually checking the viewed source of rendered page to determine the facts, before making yourself look somewhat foolish. This mod came about as a result of a long discussion between Sparky and myself, with no exterior influences as to code. Please think first! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 @ twhiting9275, I have just done a search in the forum archives and found this post http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?p=6013#post6013 I can see now that you did release something similar back in 2006 Now I can honestly say that I have never seen that post, your mod, or your website before now and I am not a thief. My version of this was written completely from scratch and only with the help from the official apache documentation website. The idea of it came from Zorro67 as he asked me if it could be built into whmcs just like joomla and most CMS's do. I have released plenty of mods and addons over the past 2-3 years as well as helped a lot of whmcs users along the way and I believe that I have a reputation for being honest and reliable. Be very careful of the words like "theft" that you are using there as I will have no hesitation in taking further actions for slander. So you say that its a "no-brainer mod, with about 5 seconds of code". I sure can't type 292 lines of code, 1725 words, or 11441 characters(no spaces), or 13303 characters(including spaces) in 5 seconds. This mod covers all error codes from 100 through to 510 THIS ADDON IS IN NO WAY A DIRECT COPY OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION If anyone chooses to use twhiting9275's version then please do so, but be aware that it has far less features, does not protect your templates and currently will not work from V3.8.1 onwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact-John Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I have known Steve(sparky) for quit some time now and have alot of his |Custom One of a kind mods and he has also helpped me out alot as well and he would never in any ones dreams think of copying code, he listens to users inputs in the request area or in the forums in general and than produces what they are looking for or even what he has and feels is a good add on to show the rest of us for a very small nominal muchly deserved fee. he is very respected here even by matt simply put if he was a copier of people's work you think 90% of this page would show his work almost everything in here is his work which was added by WHMCS themselves http://www.whmcs.com/members/communityaddons.php look for your self 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisGooding Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) OK, I use many of sparkys mods and can say I have full confidence in the fact they are his own work. Now, a serious question........ Although I have yet to see what functionality is contained.... how does this mod differ from simply creating error pages yourself? Obviously it is quite simple to create an error page and instruct your server to return a set page upon the event of a certain error especially if using Apache as you just stick it in your .htaccess file as below: ErrorDocument 404 /404.html ErrorDocument 500 /500.html as this is - http://www.intrahost.co.uk/gibbles (gibbles doesnt exist and will return a 404). Nothing fancy, just a web map to help the user find what they were looking for, obviously it can be made however you want. Im not having a pop Sparky, as I think your mods are solid..... but I just think this one is a bit odd due to it being a standard thing with any apache server........ Do they add any whmcs functions/details to the pages? Thanks Edited June 2, 2009 by ChrisGooding 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Chris, the biggest thing for me was Sparky saved me the time of doing it myself for a very modest fee. Yes, it's a simple thing to put your own together. But Sparky did it quite elegantly, slid it nicely into WHMCS and again.... Saves me the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisGooding Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Indeed, as said not having a pop at sparky, not what so ever. Although I could do a lot of the stuff sparky does within his mods....... i don't have the time which is why like you, i buy so many of them. I was merely curious 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) First off... Thank you everyone for your support. It is much appreciated. As a token of my appreciation, here is a promo code for free branding removal for the next 20 purchases. FREEBRANDING (remember to tick the branding removal addon) how does this mod differ from simply creating error pages yourself? I supose the main thing would be the time you have available to do it, the knowledge of how they work, and the ability to be able to create the pages yourself. Obviously it is quite simple to create an error page and instruct your server to return a set page upon the event of a certain error especially if using Apache as you just stick it in your .htaccess file as below: ErrorDocument 404 /404.html ErrorDocument 500 /500.html as this is - http://www.intrahost.co.uk/gibbles (gibbles doesnt exist and will return a 404). Nothing fancy, just a web map to help the user find what they were looking for, obviously it can be made however you want. Simple for some, not for all. That link to "gibbles" yes it looks like an error page from WordPress. compare these 2 links as an example https://www.intrahost.co.uk/services/templates/portal/ https://tshosting.com.au/templates/portal/ There is a bit more security with protecting your templates directory so its not just a matter of stick a couple of ErrorDocument lines in the htaccess file. It is a little more advanced than that. Do they add any whmcs functions/details to the pages? Yes the main function is that it displays as part of your WHMCS theme and in reality it is not necessary to display anything from WHMCS itself, after all it is an error page. If you can suggest something that may be useful then I may be able to add it. Edited June 3, 2009 by sparky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
