The first one that supports PHP 5.6 up to PHP 7.0, and the second one addressed to PHP 7.1 up to PHP 7.3.

  • priority - define the widget priority among other widgets - the lower the number, the higher the widget will be located on the dashboard.
    Note 1: Refer to Tips section point 3 to learn how to define priorities in WHMCS.
    Note 2: WHMCS 7.7. supports the "Drag&Drop" feature so if you are using this version or any later, you do not need to set the position in the file, but simply move the widget on the dashborad.
  • productListHeight - define the widget list of products length - you may decide how many products will be visible, the rest of them will appear when you scroll down. The value is provided in pixels.

Tips

1. Plenty of promo codes and promotions that we offer to our clients are shared via the widget only.

It is really worth having it in your WHMCS if you do not want to skip any.

2. If you want to temporairly hide the widget, simply press the configuration icon at the WHMCS Dashboard, find ModuleGarden Widget and unselect it.

3. By default, WHMCS widgets priorities are graded every 10. This means that the first WHMCS widget in line has a priority 10 assigned, the second 20, etc.
If you want to place the ModulesGarden widget on the first position, its priority must be lower than 10. The second position requires proiority number set between 11 and 19, and so on.

Please remember that priorites to set the widget position must be used only if you are using any version of WHMCS previous to WHMCS 7.7. which now supports an easy "Drag&Drop" option.
