Tips

1. How to create multiple products and assign them separate options? Nothing easier! Let's say you want to offer FTP only for the first product, email and email forwarders for the second product and databases only for the third product. To do so create three products and at 'Module Settings' of each product choose 'Cpanel_extended' as a module name. Now go to 'Addons' -> 'Cpanel Extended Functions' and set up functionality of your previously created products as presented on the screen below. Don't forget to save your changes.

Keep in mind that you can configure any number of products with any combination of functionality.

If it still doesn't solve your problem, please download your addon module from your clintarea and re install it.
