|
Configuration and Management
| Client Area Popup For WHMCS is a module which allows you to adjust the layout of any panels available on your client area as well as add new widgets sections.
|
Configuration
The module does not require highly advanced configuration.
That is why, we will immediately move to the most crucial aspect, which is customizing the panels layout.
|
Panels
Under 'Panels' tab you will find three sections dedicated to the visibility of different types of panels in your client area.
- Navbars - Manage positions available on the navigation bar in your client area. Additionally, define requirements for element to be shown.
- Sidebars - Manage panels available on the left sidebar in your client area. Additionally, define requirements for panels to be shown or modify output of the default panels.
- Homepage Widgets - Homepage Widgets can be viewed and modified here. New ones can also be created.
|
Navbars
On the first sight you will see two tables, each related to Primary Navbar Left or Right side.
There are already all the predefined sections outlined with their official names and positions.
|
| Those are the below navbar panels visible in client area.
|
Use action buttons to:
- edit the section
- delete
- view more
|
New Elements
You may add a completely new parent element either on left or right side.
Press 'Add'.
|
Then you will have to fill out all the general info, content and display rules.
Start with 'General'. Provide:
- new panel system name
- label which will be visible for clients
- URI
- select icon from available
- finally select 'Display' to make the panel visible
|
| Next, type in the body and footer HTML content.
|
In the last section you may set some rules. Only if fulfilled the panel will be visible for clients.
You may point which domains, products or locations a client must own to let them see and access the panel.
If you skip this section the created element will be visible all the time.
|
The next part of creating a pop-up process concerns its interface, layout and general design.
Auto - it automatically adjusts to the content.
Custom - if you want a customized size, then simply enter appropriate width and height.
Select style from the list of available and previously defined styles.

Only clients who meet all the restriction rules will see the pop-up.
|
General options:
- Display Frequency - define how often the pop-up will be displayed to a client, you may also make it visible all the time.
- Hide - if selected, clients will be allowed to close the pop-up permanently, even if it was configured to appear repeatedly.
- Non-logged In Users - if selected, the pop-up will be displayed to all guests and unlogged visitors.
