Installation
This tutorial will show you how to successfully install and configure Multibrand For WHMCS. We will guide you step by step through the whole installation and configuration process. |
Installation
1. Log in to your client area and download the module. |
2. In the downloaded file you will find two packages that support different PHP versions. As presented on the screen below, the first one is dedicated to PHP 7, while the second one is aimed at PHP 5.4 up to PHP 5.6. It does not apply to open source versions. Note: You can check current PHP version in your WHMCS. To do so proceed to 'Utilities' → 'System' → 'PHP Info'. |
3. Extract the downloaded file and choose the one with the right PHP version. Upload and extract the PHP file into the main WHMCS directory. The content of PHP version files should look like this. |
4. When you install Multibrand For WHMCS for the first time you have to rename 'license_RENAME.php' file. File is located in 'modules/addons/MultibrandFunctionality/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'. |
5. In order to configure your license key, you have to edit a previously renamed 'license.php' file. Enter your license key between quotation marks as presented on the following screen. You can find your license key in your client area → 'My Products'. |
Activating Addon Module
6. Now you have to activate the module in your WHMCS system. Log in to your WHMCS admin area. Go to 'Setup' → 'Addon Modules'. Afterwards, find 'Multibrand' and press 'Activate' button. |

10. The next step is replacing 'invoicepdf.tpl' file with 'invoicepdf_rename.tpl' for each of the templates used. 'invoicepdf_rename.tpl' file is located in 'your_whmcs/templates/six/' folder. |
Integration Code
11. Now you can access your Multibrand For WHMCS module. Simply go to the 'Addons' → 'Multibrand'. But before you start using the module you still need to do an 'Integration Code'. It is required for correct branding and it should be done for all templates that you want to use with brands. |
12. And that's all! You have now completed the installation of the module. |

In the current beta 2.0.0 version, it is not possible to easily migrate data from 1.8.X to 2.X module version. Such migration functionality will be added in a future stable version. We are sorry for the inconvenience. |
