jumonjii Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Seriously, how are you guys setting up these awesome pages? I can't figure out how to get a page that shows packages, prices, features, "order now" buttons, etc. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataHosts Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 We ordered WHMCS, and then setup the packages. We then looked at the link at the bottom to show the direct order link... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumonjii Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 So the order.php page isn't in the templates folder then? You take the direct order links and them put them on a page by themselves? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataHosts Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 order.php is not in the template folder, but instead it is installed on the root location of the program in the directory you install it in. If you go to www.<yourdomain>.<tld>/whmcsdir/order.php you will see the page. The look of the page (template) is done via the template you have with Smarty Design. If you do not have a custom template then you will have the default WHMCS layout. If you wish to have a custom layout you will be good to purchase from WHMCS here for $34.99 As for the link to the package you are selling you will need to login to WHMCS. Then guide as follows: Configuration --> Products/Services --> Select a product to edit --> Look on the 'Details' tab at bottom --> Direct Order Link Something like this: http://www.<yourdomain>.<tld>/whmcsdir/order.php?step=2&pid=28 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted January 16, 2007 WHMCS CEO Share Posted January 16, 2007 So the order.php page isn't in the templates folder then? Yes, it is templated. Everything your clients see is editable via a template file. The folder you need to look in is templates/orderforms/default. datahosts is referring to link to the packages directly from your main site.

jumonjii Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Okay... the orders.php file opens all coded... so I either need a different type of editor or I'm doing something wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHMCS CEO Matt Posted January 16, 2007 WHMCS CEO Share Posted January 16, 2007 You need to edit the "TEMPLATE" files. As has already been said, the folder you need to look in for these is templates/orderforms/default Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumonjii Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 I got that far.... Currently, when you go to the order page, you see each package under each other in a column. I'd like to set them up in seperate cells of a table, like a 3x3 table for example. I don't see which page is generating the package options.... Gah...... yes I'm a n00b. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted January 17, 2007 WHMCS CEO Share Posted January 17, 2007 It's all in the templates. For the package list, it will be order-stepone.tpl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumonjii Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 That's the page I was looking for thanks! Now... is it possible to get the tables to align next to each other or in a predefined area instead of all in a row? The last cart system I had wasn't as easy to use and it wasn't possible to make a 3x3 table and have the data auto fill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACscr Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 That's the page I was looking for thanks!

The last cart system I had wasn't as easy to use and it wasn't possible to make a 3x3 table and have the data auto fill. your going to have to learn a little smarty and definitely html or just pay someone to do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1rk3ls Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 jumonjuu: MACscr wasn't being smarty with you (pardon the pun) s/he was referring to the smarty template system used by WHMCS. You can do just about anything with it, so yes I'm sure what you want can be done FYI: http://smarty.php.net/ Enjoy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumonjii Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Thanks. I thought that's what they meant. I'll have to look over this smarty thing, not sure I understand how it installs. Right now I'm using Dreamweaver to open .tpl files. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted January 18, 2007 WHMCS CEO Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hi jumonjii, It's not something you install. It's just the system we use in WHMCS. You can refer to their site for documentation on how to do certain things. Editing in Dreamweaver however is exactly what you should do - just like any other HTML file.

jumonjii Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Aha. I thought it was editor you install on the server. Cool cool 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumonjii Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Okay... I can't figure this out. The page either quits loading or get's all jumbled. What forum has folks that will code? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataHosts Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 What forum has folks that will code? Just go search for 'freelance coder' Here, and you will be amazed at the results you encounter. There is alway this possiblity for you to consider as I have stated prior 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
