− | |style="padding: 10px 0px 20px 15px;"|For better stability and support for future improvements, Multibrand For WHMCS in version 2.0.0 has been completely rewritten. <br>
| |
− | For this reason, some of the functionalities in previous versions are not yet available, or are operating in a limited way. <br/>
| |
− | These features will be successively restored in future versions. Here are some of the features that are not currently being supported:
| |
− | *'''Brand Details''' - a column with brands in admin area, displayed in such places like clients and orders lists. Also branded details in client's profile.
| |
− | *'''Login as Client to a Brand''' - action directly accessible from the client profile in admin area
| |
− | *'''Create Invoice/Quote/Ticket in a Brand''' - action directly accessible from the client profile in admin area
| |
− | *'''Choose Brand in particular WHMCS sections''' - feature enabling direct brand selection on ''ticket, quote, announcement, download'' and ''knowledgebase'' view (currently only ''order'' and ''invoice'' view is supported)
| |
− | *'''Product Bundle''' - not yet available for branding
| |
− | *'''Brand Reports''' - the current statistics are limited
| |
− | *'''Brand Previews''' - preview the client area of the brand is not yet implemented
| |
− | *'''WHMCS V6''' - Multibrand For WHMCS V2 will no longer support ''WHMCS V6'' and template ''five''

− | *'''Bridges''' - Multibrand For WHMCS does not support any kind of bridges (WordPress, Jomla).
| |
− | *'''Link replacement''' - currently links are replaced with their branded counterparts with a visible delay.<br/>This is the only way we could do that for the time being.<br />
| |
− | *'''Clients Profile → Send Email''' - if you try to send an email template, a branded counterpart of which exists, you will receive an error.<br/>This is due to its branded counterpart being sent, while default email is blocked.
| |
− | *'''Branded Quote → Duplicate''' - duplicating a branded quote results in receiving unbranded quote.
| |
− | *'''Configurable Options Pricing''' - currently there is no possibility to set different pricing per brand for configurable options
| |
− | *'''Emails''' - not branded due to the lack of possibility to determine from which brand an email should be sent:
| |
− | **'''Affiliate Monthly Referrals Report'''
| |
− | **'''Clients Only Bounce Message'''
