BigT Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I just had a customer sign up for a package that I was hidden. It was setup for family so they could do free hosting so it was not open to the public. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, what have you done with the situation came up? I added a stock and set it to zero for now. Should I delete packages like this and just set to free after a family memeber orders? Thanks in advance for any help.

mylove4life Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 they could guess it. I would delete it and set a new one to a wildlly long product code that no one could guess.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro67 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Or set a normal price and give the family member a 100% discount promo code 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted October 5, 2009 WHMCS CEO Share Posted October 5, 2009 A hidden package is not an unavailable package so users could guess the product ID. Enabling stock and setting to zero though would prevent new orders being placed for it. Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehost5968 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) Could you not put all of the cart.php in to a if statement: like this if url id = hidden then show this product has been removed ..... else show the normal page The above is just to give a guide on what could be done Sorry I did not coded it but you see what I mean. sorry I meant the tpl and it could be redirected back to cart.php Edited October 5, 2009 by thehost5968 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehost5968 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 You may also not want other users to even see the details of other plan's / products. Like I sell some plans on ebid (just to make up numbers) but i would not want anyone else to see the plan details unless the find / see it on ebid. and from what I see above You could see the details in both way's or am I wrong? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigT Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Thanks for all of the suggestions. For now I just have the stock at Zero. I do like the promo code idea but i'd be worred that that got out somehow and then I'd be giving more product away. Thanks again for all of you help.
