Installing the reseller API Hook
1.Copy the file 'hook_subwhois.php' to the location:
Click here to download the hook file
/WHMCS-DIR/includes/hooks/
2.(OPTIONAL) For more usability when removing the subdomain name from cart summary it is recommended to replace the bellow function:
function removeItem(type,num) {
var response = confirm("{/literal}{$LANG.cartremoveitemconfirm}{literal}");
if (response) {
window.location = 'cart.php?a=remove&r='+type+'&i='+num;
}
}
with the bellow :
function removeItem(type,num) {
$.get('cart.php?a=remove&r='+type+'&i='+num);
var response = confirm('Press OK to choose a new subdomain or cancel to remain on view cart');
if (response) {
window.history.back(1);
} else {
window.location.reload();
}
}
The file can be located inside:
/WHMCS-DIR/templates/orderforms/ORDER-FORM-TEMPLATE/viewcart.tpl
You need to replace the code inside the default order form you've set in your whmcs admin section /SETUP/General Settings/Ordering tab
Alternatively you can download the order template bellow which should contain all customization above and is ready to be used:
Cpanel Api WHMCS order template
This needs to be untared using 7zip or similar applications and upload the content of the archive inside:
/WHMCS-DIR/templates/orderforms/
After you've uploaded the order template, you should be able to select it when creating the product group inside your WHMCS "Products/Services" section.
Note: This template is based on the pre-existing one, Comparison, in the Default templates from WHMCS.
