Using alternate package display
If you wish to use the alternate display for your packages;
Enter desired information displayed in the 'Layout 2 Package Display Text' for each hosting package. You can use html code in that text area field, just be careful not to use special characters or quotes in the code. Do not include full html page tags, only enter a table or div tags to start and end your code.
In your includes directory, rename hstable-reanme-me.php to hstable.php.
This will change the display for all hosting packages in the system.
For Dedicated Servers, do the same as above, except rename the includes/dstable_rename_me.php file to dstable.php
Displaying testimonials
Add quotes you have received from your customers that you want to post on your site.
The testimonies can be displayed using these variables on any page:
<?=$quotes[0][testimonial]?> <?=$quotes[0][sig1]?> <?=$quotes[0][sig2]?> <?=$quotes[1][testimonial]?> <?=$quotes[1][sig1]?> <?=$quotes[1][sig2]?>
You can display as many as you like, just increment the $quotes number for each one. The above example will display 2 testimonials.
Also, set the number_of_quotes to a value of 2 in the Extended System Configuration. (2 to display 2 quotes at a time, adjust as per how many display code settings you put code in the template)
(As long as this number is greater than the number of quotes in the db, all will be returned into the array.)
The testimonials in your database will be randomly chosen to fill the displays.
Displaying the Shopping Cart Box
Variables used to create a 'shopping cart' box on your site:
You have <?=$curcart[items]?> items in your cart.
<a href="<?=$curcart[view]?>">View Cart</a>
<a href="<?=$curcart[checkout]?>">Checkout</a>
Changing the number of tlds displayed on the site home page
Edit the tlimit setting in the Extended System Configuration to set the number of tlds to show on your home page.
Custom User Fields
There are 3 available custom fields you can setup to gather custom information during new account creation.
To enable the custom fields, edit the includes/languages/[each_language]/createacct.php and the editprofile.php files with a text editor.
Remove the remarks (//) from the beginning of the lines for the custom fields you wish to use.
Be sure to edit the createacct.php and editprofile.php files in all languages that you offer.
Look for this section:
//CREATEACCOUNT CUSTOM FIELDS;uncomment the below variables to enable adding custom fields to the customer's record during create account //define(CUSTOM1, "custom 1 field"); //define(CUSTOM2, "custom 2 field"); //define(CUSTOM3, "custom 3 field"); //end custom fields
Example of setting up one extra field used for collecting a customer's VAT ID:
//CREATEACCOUNT CUSTOM FIELDS;uncomment the below variables to enable adding custom fields to the customer's record during create account define(CUSTOM1, "Your VAT ID"); //define(CUSTOM2, "custom 2 field"); //define(CUSTOM3, "custom 3 field"); //end custom fields
To configure the field(s) as required, edit the same files (createacct.php and editprofile.php in each language directory).
Look for this:
//v1.2.4 //define(CUSTOM1NOTREQUIRED, "1"); //define(CUSTOM2NOTREQUIRED, "1"); //define(CUSTOM3NOTREQUIRED, "1");
For the above VAT example, to make the VAT field required change to this:
//v1.2.4 define(CUSTOM1NOTREQUIRED, "1"); //define(CUSTOM2NOTREQUIRED, "1"); //define(CUSTOM3NOTREQUIRED, "1");
To make it not required, change to this:
//v1.2.4 define(CUSTOM1NOTREQUIRED, "0"); //define(CUSTOM2NOTREQUIRED, "1"); //define(CUSTOM3NOTREQUIRED, "1");
