Applications Configuration

Configurable Options For Application Auto Install

Let your clients decide which application they would like to install on their new InterWorx 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.

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 '4images' in your applications list, you will need to enter value '4images 1.7.11' or '4images'. 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.

Go to your 'WHMCS' → 'Setup' → 'Products/Services' → 'Configurable Options' and press 'Create a New Group'.

Enter 'Group Name' of your choice, select product you want to assign configurable options to, then press 'Save Changes'.

Now click on 'Add New Configurable Option'.

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.

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'.

Afterwards, come back to 'InterWorx 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.

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.

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 to do that. In the beginning, go to 'Product/Services', find your product using 'InterWorx 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.

The next 3 fields are: Admin Username Admin Password Admin Email Set them as 'Text Box' and tick 'Show on Order Form'.

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'.

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. Client can place one of the following language codes.
