Resellerclub Mods Management Core Console (Addon)

 

All v3 Modules requires the Resellerclub Mods Management Core Console Addon "Resellerclub Mods Console v3".

Download the Addon from the product license details page TAB "Download" and install first this Addon.

If already installed, make sure you run version v1.7.2 or greater.

Visit the install instructions for the ResellerClub Mods Management Core Console Addon if you havent the Addon installed/updated. Once installed/updated and configured your reseller credentials as well as the product license, go ahead with the Module Installation in STEP 2.

Upload files and folders

 

Download RAMDI - ResellerClub Advanced Managment DNS Interface from the product license details page TAB "Download". Unzip the file with your prefered decompresion software. Please read carefully all the steps in this document. You should not skip any steps provided.

  1. Upload the provided php files dnsmanagement.php and domainforwarding.php from the unzipped "dnsmanagement_x.x.x" folder into your whmcsroot/ folder

  2. Upload the *.tpl files which matches your theme into your active whmcsroot/templates/(five, six)/ theme folder.

WHMCS Template Modifications

 

Optional: This step is only required if you want to replace the WHMCS DNS Manager with the RAM Dns Manager. If you plan to offer the RAM Dns Manager only for LogicBoxes Hosting plans such as Business/Enterprise Email, Linux/Windows/DIY Sitbuilder plans, etc., then you can safely skip this step.

Additional Configuration Steps for SIX based templates

 

clientareadomaindetails.tpl - FIVE based template themes

 

  1. Open the whmcs template file "clientareadomaindetails.tpl", located in the folder /whmcsroot/templates/foldername/

  2. Search and locate the code between {if $dnsmanagement} ... {/if}. The code between this if statement looks something like this if you haven't customized it before:
    
    {if $dnsmanagement}<li><a href = "clientarea.php?action=domaindns&domainid={$domainid}">{$LANG.clientareadomainmanagedns}</a></li>{/if}
    							

    Replace the original code with the following code:

    
    {if $dnsmanagement}<li><a href = "dnsmanagement.php?action=managednszone&domain={$domain}&domainid={if $domainid}{$domainid}{else}{$id}{/if}">{$LANG.clientareadomainmanagedns}</a></li>{/if}
    							

    Copy/paste the following html code for the domain forwarding link just underneath the DNS Management code above:

    
    {if $dnsmanagement}<li><a href = "domainforwarding.php?action=managedomfwd&domain={$domain}&domainid={if $domainid}{$domainid}{else}{$id}{/if}">Domain Forwarding</a></li>{/if}
    							

  3. Search and locate the code between {if $addonstatus.dnsmanagement} ... {else}.
    
    <a href = "clientarea.php?action=domaindns&domainid={$domainid}">{$LANG.manage}</a>
    							

    Replace the original code with the following code:

    
    <a href = "dnsmanagement.php?action=managednszone&domain={$domain}&domainid={$domainid}">{$LANG.manage}</a>
    							

  4. Upload the modified file clientareadomaindetails.tpl back into the active template folder.

  2. Search and locate the code between {if $addonstatus.dnsmanagement} ... {else}.
    
    <a class="btn btn-success" href = "clientarea.php?action=domaindns&domainid={$domainid}">{$LANG.manage}</a> <input type="submit" value="{$LANG.disable}" class="btn btn-danger"/>
    							

    Replace the original code with the following code:

    
    <a class="btn btn-success" href = "dnsmanagement.php?action=managednszone&domain={$domain}&domainid={$domainid}">{$LANG.manage}</a> <input type="submit" value="{$LANG.disable}" class="btn btn-danger"/>
    							

  3. Upload the modified file clientareadomaindetails.tpl back into the active template folder.

 

TIP! If you are using 2 or more domain registrars, for example ResellerClub and another "non LogicBoxes" Registrar such as Enom, then you should have a look at the TAB "Expert" to learn howto modify the template file to offer the RAM Dns Interface for LogicBoxes registered domains and the WHMCS Built-in DNS Manager for all other domains.

Test the Interfaces

 

To offer DNS Management, you have to activate the WHMCS built-in Addon.

  1. From the "Management Tools" section for each domain in the domain details page (admin area):
    Activate Management Tools in Admin Area

  2. You should also consider to activate DNS Management from Setup » Products/Services » Domain Pricing for each TLD which support DNS Management:
    Manage TLD in WHMCS

Your Installation should be done at this point. Login into your whmcs using any customer login and goto "My Domains". Select a domain to access the domaindetails area. Click the dns domain link from the Management Tools Tab to access the RAM Dns Interface and the Domain Forwarding Interface.

Implementing RAM Dns Manager and WHMCS Dns Manager together with multiple Domain Registrars
