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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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'

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.

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.

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

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' .

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.

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.

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

This option is used to enable the creation of auto update backups for the first chosen application after the initial order in WHMCS.
Please note that this option works only with Installatron plugin and Auto Update Backup Enabled By Default On Order setting in the module features has to be disabled to make this configurable option work properly.

Please note that you can have more configurable options groups at your disposal. Press 'Save' . You have just successfully assigned configurable options to the application autoinstall.

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

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.

• Admin Username
• Admin Password
• Admin Email

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

• Auto Update

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

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

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

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

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

Use cPanel Extended For WHMCS to:

• Install applications
• Edit/delete applications
• Create clones/staging instances
• Create and restore backups
  

To start, simply proceed to 'Applications' , and then find the 'Install New' section.

Here you will find the name of the application, its path, size and available actions:

• Create Staging application - create staging instances from an application to test the upgrades or changes before pushing them to the live installation ('Softaculous' only)
• Generate Backup
• Clone application - clone existing website installations to modify or use them on different domains ('Softaculous' only)
• Delete application
• Edit application ('Installatron' only; see the latter screen)
  

Note 1: Please be aware that creating staging applications, generating backups and cloning may take even up to a few minutes and the results are not visible instantly.
Please wait until they appear on the list.

Note 2: There are few applications available in Softaculous, which cannot be cloned nor staging instances created. These two options are not available on the list in case of such apps.

Simply press the marked button. Please keep in mind that it might last a short while before the application appears on the list.

Once you have created a backup of your application, proceed to the 'Backups' tab.
There you will find a list of created application backups along with the date when they were created.
Use action buttons marked on the screen to restore and delete a chosen backup.

To do this, go to 'Addons' → 'cPanel Extended Center' → 'Features' → 'Configuration' and enable Auto Update Backups.

They will be automatically sent as a response message when you have no access to your mailbox.
Press 'Add Autoresponder' to create one.

In the same way, define when to stop using this particular autoresponder.
Next, specify the time interval of sending the message to the same address, type in the email address and compose the whole message here.

To restore a backup, choose the desired elements and press 'Restore' .
Note: Automatic backup has to be enabled from your WHM panel.

To generate a full backup, press 'Generate Full Backup' .

Optionally, you can also fill in an email address to which a notification about the backup will be sent.
Depending on the choice of 'Backup Destination' , you might also need to fill additional fields.
Confirm backup creation through pressing 'Generate' .

Partial backups are generated during the download process.

Press 'Add Cron Job' to create a command.

Please note that all presented figures are relative to the largest directory and may not reflect recent changes to the client account’s disk usage.

Also email account storage does not include the metadata that the system uses to store email.

If you need to see usage data for individual files use File Manager tool.
For more information about MySQL or PostgreSQL databases go to their corresponding sections

This option allows you to read content of one domain from another domain name.
Note: domains must be registered with a valid registrar and point to your DNS server.

This option allows you to redirect a specific web page to another one and display the contents of that page.

Choose the type: Permanent or Temporary; decide whether to use 'www' redirection or not; select 'Wild Card Redirect' if you need.

In case 'Unlimited Quota' has been disabled for the product by the administrator the visible on the screen below option will not be available here.
You have to enter quota manually, its value must be lower than the set by the admin limit.

There are two options available:

• Repair Records- installs invalid records once again.
• Manage Domain- once clicked, the client will be able to install these DNS records for the selected domain.

Please note that it is recommended to evaluate beforehand whether your system is properly configured.
Moreover, if any problems like controlling DNS records for a domain or finding authoritative nameservers occur with these records, then their installation might take place only locally and it may not be effective.
These kinds of potential problems will not be indicated in the WHMCS client area in the way they are in the cPanel itself. More information about setting up email deliverability in cPanel can be found here.

Note: Forwarding a domain's email will override the default address for that domain!
