 +
*'''Database Password'''
 +
*'''Table Prefix'''
 +
*'''Site Name'''
 +
*'''Site Description'''

*'''Language'''

Applications Configuration

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 chooses an application and along with account creation this very application will be installed on the account.
There is nothing else you need to do. Application will be instantly ready to use!
To set up this feature, come back to your product's configuration, find 'Applications' section, activate 'Install Applications' , choose 'Auto Installer' and activate 'Use Configurable Options' .
Click on a download icon to view the list of applications.

CP52.png
These are the names of values that you can enter in configurable options' fields, 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 value 'Drupal 7.38' or 'Drupal'.
1. If you have made a mistake with the application name, the auto installer will not work.
2. If you do not enter version number, the auto installer will install the latest version of the application.
Now, when 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 'Group Name' of your choice, select product you want to assign configurable options to, 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' . In other case 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 you are not obliged to type in the application version number! If not provided, the latest version will be installed.

CP57.png
As you can see on the following screen we decided to offer our customers 5 applications.

When you finish adding applications, press 'Save Changes' and 'Close Window'.

CP58.png
Afterwards, come back to 'cPanel Extended Features' → 'Configuration' → 'Applications' , activate 'Use Configurable Options' and choose 'Apps/Configurable Options' from a dropdown menu.

Please note that you can have more configurable options groups. Press 'Save' and that's it. You have just successfully assigned configurable options to application autoinstall.

CP59.png
Let's check out what your customers are going to see in their client area while placing the order.

As you can see, a dropdown menu with previously configured applications has shown up.

CP60.png

Assignment of Custom Fields To Application Autoinstall

Now, when 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 that moment applications had been installed with use of default details like e.g. directory names or database name.
Those details are sent to each customer's email.
Allowing your customers to choose their own installation paths, usernames and others is a safer and recommended solution.. Let's see how can we do that.
In the beginning, go to 'Product/Services' , find your product using 'cPanel Extended' module and enter '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'.
Everything is shown on the screen below.

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 the 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 'Language' field has appeared.

In order to change default applications language for certain account enter here an appropriate value.

CP64.png
From now on the new field will be visible for your customers as well. While installing a new application they can choose desired language by entering value into the field.

Here you will find a complete list of language codes.

Management of Existing Products

You can easily use cPanel Extended module with your already configured cPanel products.

To do so, change the type of servers and module names of products from 'Cpanel' to 'CpanelExtended' .
Additional information about how to correctly configure your servers and products can be found in points 8-16 in 'Installation and Configuration' section.

Management of Billing

When you combine cPanel Extended For WHMCS with Advanced Billing For WHMCS, you will be able to set up additional billing options.

The module allows you to charge your customers basing on the server resources used by them.

CP66.png
With Advanced Billing module, you can also display the current server resource usage and their cost for your customers.
CP67.png

How To Update

1. Updating cPanel Extended goes alike updating any other MG product, for more information visit Modules Update page.

Tips

1. You can use cPanel Extended with reseller accounts. It gives you new opportunities!

To do so, simply go to your cPanel Extended product → 'Details' and choose 'Reseller Account' from a dropdown menu as shown on the following screen.

CP70.png
2. In order to make the reseller account own itself you need to check 'Set the reseller to own their own account' field located in 'Module Settings'.
CP71.png
3. If you would like to use cPanel/WHM Import Utility with cPanel Extended products, you will need to switch products' type to 'Cpanel'.

Afterwards you can successfully use the import script. After finishing the import, simply switch back the products' type to 'CpanelExtended'.

4. If your users have problems with applications not showing to install, you need to log into WHM and proceed to Softacullous general settings.

1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
2. If after installation, you get an ionCube encoder problem (wrong version), please open a support ticket.

We will provide you with different version of the module encrypted with the older version of ionCube.

3. SQL Issue: When you move your WHMCS system to another domain and you import your SQL database you may get an error with missing tables or fields.

An example of such an error can be: "Unknown column 's.change_password' in 'field list' ".
If so please deactivate and activate your module and try once again. If it still doesn't solve your problem, please download your addon module from your client area and re install it.

4. If you have problems with connection make sure that both ports 2082 and 2083 are open.
5. After you change language of the module, your Ajax notifications might not work correctly. Encode language file in UTF-8 (without BOM) to solve this issue.

10. No results to display: Access denied
Reason: Account already exists on the server but access to the server has been lost due to changed server group, changed server details or block by e.g firewall.

Solution 1: Make sure that connection to your server is working properly and it's not being blocked. Additionally make sure that your server group is set up correctly.
Solution 2 (cPanel Extended V1.7.0 and previous): open file modules/servers/cpanelExtended/classes/cPanel API/curl_options.ini and set CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION to 0.

Solution: Make sure that customer's account username is the same in both your WHMCS system and your WHM.

12. When you get 'cURL Error : Maximum (20) redirects followed' while trying to install new application, this indicates the problem with your cPanel theme.

To solve the problem log in to your WHMCS, go to 'Module Settings' of your product, find the field 'cPanel Theme' and make sure that the entered name is correct.

13. Blank page while logging into phpMyAdmin or any functionality in 'Stats' page.
Reason: Logging in requires SSL connection.

Solution: Check 'Secure' in your server settings for cPanel (step 10th of Installation and Configuration).

14. Running 'Create' on cPanel Extended product does not create application ordered along with product.

Due to limitations in the Softaculous API these applications will not be installed when a new product is created.
Solution: Application has to be installed manually via cPanel Extended For WHMCS. Walk around will be added in a further version.
