===Assignment of Custom Fields To Application Autoinstall===
 
{|
 
{|
|style="padding: 10px 0px 20px 15px;"|2. You can manage all aspects related to e-mail accounts.  
+
|style="padding: 10px 0px 15px 15px;"|Now that you know how to allow your customers to choose which application they would like to install on their account, we can proceed one step further.<br />
 +
Until now all applications have been installed with the use of default details like e.g. directory names or a database name.<br />
 +
Those details are sent to each customer via email.<br />
 +
Allowing your customers to choose their own installation paths, usernames and others is a safer solution and a recommended one. Let us see how to do that.<br />
 +
To begin with, go to '' 'Product/Services', '' find your product using the'' 'cPanel Extended' '' module and enter the '' 'Custom Fields' '' category.<br />
 +
You will need to add 12 custom fields. The first 8 are:
 +
*'''Directory'''
 +
*'''Database Name'''
 +
*'''Database Username'''
 +
*'''Database Password'''
 +
*'''Table Prefix'''
 +
*'''Site Name'''
 +
*'''Site Description'''
 +
*'''Language'''
 +
Remember to set each field type as '' 'Text Box', '' tick '' 'Required Field ' '' and '' 'Show on Order Form'.''<br />
 +
The below screen presents the first three elements and the remaining five look in a similar manner.

Installation and Configuration

Read the below instructions to learn how to install and then configure cPanel Extended For WHMCS properly.

We will guide you step by step through all installation procedures.

Installation

1. Log in to our client area and download the module.
CP1.png
2. In the downloaded file you might find one or two packages that support different PHP versions.

In the most recent versions of the module, you will find only one package that supports PHP 7.2 and later.

PHP72 74.png
Previous updates of the module may contain two packages dedicated to various PHP versions.

The first one that supports PHP 5.6 up to PHP 7.1, and the second one addressed to PHP 7.2 up to PHP 7.4.
Note: Keep in mind that PHP versions 5.6 up to 7.1 are no longer officially supported and their security issues are not fixed or released any more. Find more info here.

PHP56 74.png
Note: You can check the current PHP version in your WHMCS. To do so, proceed to 'Utilities' → 'System' → 'PHP Info'.
3. Extract the package and upload its content into the main WHMCS directory.

The content of the package to upload should look like this.

CP2.png
4. When you install cPanel Extended For WHMCS for the first time, you have to rename the 'license_RENAME.php' file.

The file is located in 'modules/servers/cpanelExtended/license_RENAME.php' . Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php' .

CP3.png
5. In order to configure your license key, you have to edit the previously renamed 'license.php' file.

Enter your license key between the quotation marks as presented on the following screen. You can find your license key in our client area → 'My Products' .

CP4.png
6. In the next step, set up the 'storage' folder as recursively writable.

This folder is available at two locations:

  1. your_whmcs/modules/addons/CpanelExtended/
  2. your_whmcs/modules/servers/cpanelExtended/
CP4 2.png
If you are updating your module from version 3.14 to 3.15, you have to perform additional steps described in the Update Instructions.

Activation of Addon

7. Now you have to activate the module in your WHMCS system.

Log in to your WHMCS admin area. Click 'Setup' and find 'Addon Modules'.
Afterwards, find 'cPanel Extended Center' and press the 'Activate' button.

CP5.png
8. In the next step you need to permit access to this module.

To do so, click on the 'Configure' button, tick the desired admin roles and press 'Save Changes'.

CP6.png
9. cPanel Extended For WHMCS has been successfully installed!

Access the addon under 'Addons' 'cPanel Extended Center'.

Configuration of Server

10 To begin, you must add a new server.

Go to 'Setup' 'Products/Services' 'Servers' and press 'Add New Server'.

CP8.png
11. Enter your server name, IP address, username and a password. Choose 'cPanelExtended' from the dropdown menu and press 'Save Changes'.

If you connect with your cPanel server via SSL, then make sure that you checked the 'Secure' field located at the bottom of the page.
Note: Keep in mind that the URLs of the 'Login to Webmail' and 'Login to cPanel' buttons located in the client area derive from the 'Hostname' or 'IP Address' fields.

CP9.png
12. Once your server has been configured correctly, you will see the following screen.

Create a new group for your server. Press 'Create New Group' to proceed.

CP10.png
13. Enter the group name, select your previously created server, press 'Add', and then 'Save Changes'.
CP11.png

Configuration of Product

14. In order to create a product, go to 'Setup' 'Products/Services' 'Products/Services' .

If you do not have a product group, click on 'Create a New Group' . If you do, simply skip step 13.

CP12.png
15. Fill in a product group name and press 'Save Changes'.
CP13.png
16. When you have a product group added, you can create your product and assign it to the cPanel Extended module.
CP14.png
17. Afterwards, choose your product type and product group from dropdown menus, then enter your product name select the used module: 'cPanel Extended'.

Press 'Continue' to go on.

CP15.png
18. Now, go to the 'Module Settings' section, choose the previously created server group from dropdown menu and press 'Save Changes' .

Important: Setting cPanel theme is required for some features to work properly.
Configure your WHM Package here if you wish.

CP16.png
19. If you want to enable CloudLinux features for your product, simply select this option.

Now, you can put limits for your clients' resources regarding:

  • CPU Usage
  • Physical Memory
  • Virtual Memory
  • Operations Per Second
  • I/O Limit
  • Concurrent Connections
  • Number of Processes
  • PHP Version
CP16 1.png
If you want to use the above cPanel entries as configurable options, please follow the guide available at this article.

Additionally, you can use the records for CloudLinux from the list below:

speed|CPU Speed
pmem|Physical Memory
io|I/O Limit
maxentryprocs|Concurrent Connections
nproc|Number of Processes
vmem|Virtual Memory
iops|Operations Per Second
20. You may set up several options that will be applied to the product when creating one:
  • Configure the "Mail Node", "Mailbox Format" and the "Contact Email" options
  • Define the limits of the "Deferred/Failed Emails", "Emails Per Hour" and the "Email Account Quota"
  • Provide the default "Language" of the account and a custom "Feature List"
  • Enable "DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM)" and "Force DNS" to overwrite an existing DNS zone for new accounts
CP16 2.png

Configuration of Addon

20. You have just correctly created and customized a new product.

Go to 'Addons' 'cPanel Extended' in your WHMCS. You will find there a dashboard with the possibility to:

  • See the list of configured cPanel and cPanel Extended products
  • See the list of configured cPanel and cPanel Extended servers
  • Go directly to the product and server configuration
  • Log in to WHM panel from server configuration with one click
  • Easily upgrade the already configured cPanel product to cPanel Extended
CP17.png
21. Proceed to the 'Features' section and find the product you are interested in and press the 'Configuration' button next to it.
CP17 1.png
22. You should find here boxes dedicated to 'Features', 'Applications', 'Client Area Template'.

To show you an example, we will set the configuration from the beginning, without using other configuration options of the product.

Select the features you would like to activate for your customers.

CP18.png
23. Choose whether to activate the 'Install Applications' option.

In case you wish to activate this option, you will have to select 'Auto Installer' from the dropdown menu. Afterwards, enable 'Install Tab' and 'Backup Tab'.
You may also enable option 'Auto Install on Creation' and application will be installed immediately once the product has been created.
Choose the desired language of the applications by typing in its two-letter code in the 'Language' field. A complete list of language codes can be found here.
If the field is left blank, a default value, which is 'en' (English) will be used.
Moreover, you can permit your clients to toggle automatic backups for application updates or enable them for the first chosen application after the initial order.
Note: You can also create a configurable option with an app to be installed. You can find the instruction to do that here.

CP20.png
24. Select from the dropdown menu which client area template should be used for this product.

Note: By default only one template is available. If you have more templates prepared, you will be able to choose one from here.
You may also set the product's details page to look like the standard WHMCS cPanel module view in the client area.

CP19.png
25. Finally, decide whether to allow your clients to create email accounts with an unlimited quota.

If you disable this option here, you may then set the quota limit per created account.
Do not forget to 'Save' the changes once the product configuration is ready!

CP19 1.png
26. If you already have another product configured, you may copy its configuration.

Find the 'Copy' button on the list with products or select multiple item at once.
Then choose the product configuration that settings you wish to copy into the selected products.

CP19 2.png
27. From now on, all your clients who ordered a previously created product will be able to manage their cPanel accounts via your WHMCS system.

The screen below presents a summary view of the ordered product in admin area. Among the available actions you will find:

  • 'Log In To Control Panel'
  • Module Commands: 'Create', 'Suspend', 'Unsuspend', 'Terminate' the product; 'Change Package' and 'Change Password'
CP00.png
This is what your customers should see in their client area:
CP21.png
Please note that the 'WordPress Manager' icon only appears if you have WordPress Manager For WHMCS module installed.

Upgrade cPanel to cPanel Extended Product

Once you have already configured the standard cPanel products, you can easily upgrade them to the cPanel Extended products.

Note: Before you start, make sure that you have already configured the cPanel Extended server.
To start, proceed to the 'Dashboard' in the cPanel Extended addon. Next, find your standard cPanel product on the list and press the 'Upgrade Product' button.

CP72.png
Now, select the new server group configured for the cPanel Extended module.

Note: Make sure that this server configuration is exactly the same as the standard cPanel server configuration.
Press 'Confirm' to proceed with the product upgrade. After completion, the product will switch its module settings to the ones from the cPanel Extended module and server.

CP73.png

Management

cPanel Extended For WHMCS allows your customers to manage their cPanel accounts without being logged into the cPanel server.

Read the below descriptions to get familiar with all of the cPanel Extended For WHMCS functionalities.

Configurable Options For Application Auto Install

Let your clients decide which application they would like to install on their new cPanel account.

While placing an order, your customer can choose an application which will be installed upon account creation.
There is nothing else you need to do. The application will be ready to use instantly!
To set up this feature, return to the configuration of your product, find the 'Applications' section, activate 'Install Applications' , choose 'Auto Installer' and activate 'Use Configurable Options' .

CP52.png
Go back to the list of products and click on a download icon to view the applications list.
CP52 2.png
These are the names of values that you can enter in the fields of configurable options. We will configure them in the next step.

For example, if you would like to set up 'Drupal' in your applications list, you will need to enter the 'Drupal 8.6.2' or 'Drupal' value.
1. If you have made a mistake with the application name, the auto installer will not work.
2. If you do not enter the version number, the auto installer will install the latest version of the application.
Now that you know what values should be entered in configurable options for particular applications, we can proceed further.

CP53.png
Go to your 'WHMCS' 'Setup' 'Products/Services' 'Configurable Options' and press 'Create a New Group' .
CP54.png
Enter the group name of your choice, select the product to which you want to assign configurable, then press 'Save Changes' .
CP55.png
Now click on 'Add New Configurable Option' .
CP56.png
This moment is very important. As 'Option Name' , you have to enter 'Installation App' . Otherwise the entire functionality will not work.

Here you can set up as many applications as you want. To do so, enter a value name, e.g. 'WordPress 3.7.1' and press 'Save Changes' .
Repeat this as many times as you need and do not forget to set 'Option Type' to 'Dropdown' .

Remember that if you do not provide the version number of the application, the latest version will be installed.

CP57.png
As you can see on the following screen, we decided to offer our customers five applications.

Assignment of Custom Fields To Application Autoinstall

Now that you know how to allow your customers to choose which application they would like to install on their account, we can proceed one step further.

Until now all applications have been installed with the use of default details like e.g. directory names or a database name.
Those details are sent to each customer via email.
Allowing your customers to choose their own installation paths, usernames and others is a safer solution and a recommended one. Let us see how to do that.
To begin with, go to 'Product/Services', find your product using the 'cPanel Extended' module and enter the 'Custom Fields' category.
You will need to add 12 custom fields. The first 8 are:

  • Directory
  • Database Name
  • Database Username
  • Database Password
  • Table Prefix
  • Site Name
  • Site Description
  • Language

Remember to set each field type as 'Text Box', tick 'Required Field ' and 'Show on Order Form'.
The below screen presents the first three elements and the remaining five look in a similar manner.

CP61.png
The next 3 fields are:
  • Admin Username
  • Admin Password
  • Admin Email

Set them as 'Text Box' and tick 'Show on Order Form'.

CP61 1.png
The last field is:
  • Auto Update

Set it as 'Drop Down', enter 'Yes, No' into 'Select Options', tick 'Required Field ' and 'Show on Order Form'.

CP61 2.png
Once you add all custom fields, they will appear while placing an order.

Voila! Now your customers can personalize each application without the necessity of installing it later.

CP62.png

Custom Softaculous Application Language

We will show you how to quickly set custom language for Softaculous web applications.

For this purpose you need to add a new custom field for your product. The field should be called 'Language' .

CP63.png
Afterwards, go to your 'Products/Services' and check whether the 'Language' field has appeared.

In order to change the default language of the application for an account, enter here an appropriate value.

CP64.png
From now on the just added language field will be visible to your customers as well. While installing a new application, they will be enabled to set a desired language by entering the appropriate value into the field.

Here you will find a complete list of all language codes.

Client Area

In the following section, features available in the client area will be thoroughly discussed.

Addon Domains
