Additional fields
You can register and manage all extensions provided by FranceDNS. However some of them require additional fields.
These will be displayed in the order phase and in the administration area of the domain name.
To facilitate integration into the software, we provide a php file to be included.
Step 1: Additional fields translation
You need to redefine languages files before updating them. Indeed, if you modify WHMCS ones, those would be overwritten during WHMCS updates.
If you don't have overrided these language files,
Copy the files english.txt and french.txt into the directory /path_to_whmcs/lang/overrides Rename the file extension to .php
Otherwise,
append the files english.txt and french.txt to your own files in the directory /path_to_whmcs/lang/overrides/
Feel free to modify the translation depending on your needs ! You can also translate them into another language.
Step 2: Add the fields to WHMCS
By default, WHMCS defines a list of additionnal fields for the built-in registrar modules. However, you need to specify WHMCS FranceDNS's ones.
Edit the file /whmcs_directory/includes/additionaldomainfields.php Append the following lines at the end of the file // FranceDNS additionnal fields include(ROOTDIR."/modules/registrars/francedns/config.inc.php");
Caution
Our additionnal domain fields will override all the default ones defined into WHMCS for the same extensions. If you want to use another registrar's module for a common extension, you need to disable our fields:
Edit the file /whmcs_directory/modules/francedns/config.inc.php
Set "False" in the corresponding extension
Example: to disable .CA, "define("CA",false);"
Specific Settings
Specific parameters below are used to define the behavior of the module for certain actions
Edit the file /whmcs_directory/modules/francedns/config.inc.php
ToDo List Management
Our module can add an entry in this list for each failed operation. You can enable or disable with variable
Domain name Registration
$francedns_report_domainCreate_error_in_todolist (true/false)
Domain name Renewal
$francedns_report_domainRenew_error_in_todolist (true/false)
Domain name TransferIn
$francedns_report_domainTransfer_error_in_todolist (true/false)
Admin notes notifications Management
Each domain has notes managed by the administrator. This field is visible in the administrator section on the details of a domain name. Our module can use this field to notify you of the result of operations. You can enable or disable with variable
Domain name Registration
$francedns_report_domainCreate_in_adminnotes (true/false)
Domain name Renewal
$francedns_report_domainRenew_in_adminnotes (true/false)
Domain name TransferIn
$francedns_report_domainTransfer_in_adminnotes (true/false)
Local presence service management
Following extensions, restrictions may be applied on the location of the administrative contact.
This service can be free or paid
When ordering a domain name (registration or transfer), the administrative contact is defined according to general settings and he can suit or not the conditions of the domain name's extension
Case if the service is free
The variable $francedns_force_use_free_localcontactservice force or not using this service. It is free, there is no impact on the customer billing.
Case if the service is charged
If the extension requires a local presence for the administrative contact and if the contact's country is in the table $localcontactcountries, the service will not be used.
Otherwise, the variable $francedns_force_use_paid_localcontactservice force or not using this service. Your reseller account will be charged for the service in addition to transaction costs. You must therefore take into account the price of the service in your public price when activated.
Domain name Restoration management
For some extensions, it is possible to restore a domain after its removal. But this notion of restoration is not supported by the application.
The variable $francedns_force_restore_during_renewal force or not the restoration of the domain name if possible Warning, the price of restoration may be much higher than a simple renewal.
