However, it's recommended to avoid altering the core file itself, and instead, leverage the capability of using overrides.<br/> |
|} | |} | ||
{| | {| | ||
| − | |style="padding: 0px 0px | + | |style="padding: 0px 0px 15px 15px;"|Here's how to apply language overrides: |
| + | * Navigate to the ''~/langs/'' directory located within the following ''yourWHMCS/modules/servers/moduleName/langs/'' path. | ||
| + | * Within this directory, create a new file or duplicate the language file you intend to modify. For instance, if you wish to create an override for the English language, establish the following directory structure: | ||
| + | ''~/langs/overrides/english.php''. | ||
| + | * Open the newly created override file to edit its contents. | ||
| + | * At the beginning of the file, indicate the used code, for instance, you can use: '''<?php''' for PHP code. | ||
| + | * Adapt the file content according to your requirements. You can either selectively modify specific variables or opt to revise the entire content of the language file. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For example: | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Original ''yourWHMCS/modules/servers/moduleName/langs/english.php:''''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | $_LANG['Search'] = 'Search'; | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Override ''yourWHMCS/modules/servers/moduleName/langs/overrides/english.php:''''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | $_LANG['Search'] = 'Look for'; | ||
|} | |} | ||
{| | {| | ||
| − | |style="padding: 0px 0px | + | |style="padding: 0px 0px 15px 15px;"|By following these steps, you can seamlessly implement language customizations without altering the core language file, ensuring your changes will not be lost after every module update.<br/> |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | Remember that some of the modules have more than one language file, located under ''/addons'' and ''/servers'' paths. You may create the override files for both of them.<br/> Note that you do not need to paste all the original content of the lang file into the override file. Enter there only the lines that you wish to change, every other line will be fetched from the original module lang file.<br/> Consequently, the override lang file might include only one or just a few lines. | |

|
| 5. In the next step, set up the 'storage' folder as recursively writable. This folder is available at 'your_whmcs/modules/addons/AbandonedCart/' . |
|
| 6. Now you have to activate the module in your WHMCS system. Log in to your WHMCS admin area. Go to 'System Settings' → 'Addon Modules'. Afterwards, find 'Abandoned Cart' and press the 'Activate' button. |
|
| 7. In the next step you need to permit access to this module. To do so, click on the 'Configure' button, tick 'Full Administrator' and press 'Save Changes'. |
|

Addon Module
Dashboard
| In the dashboard you can find the summary graphs of recently created shopping cart. The first graph illustrates the number of all shopping carts created within the selected period of time. You may choose between 1, 3, 6 and 12 months to show the statistics for. |
|
|
| The second graph is dedicated to show the summary of completed orders only. |
|
| The last graph "Existing Clients Carts / All Carts (%)" represents the percentage of cars created by the existing clients (unlogged guests are not taken into consideration) towards the number of all carts (created by existing clients and guests together). |
|
Shopping Carts
The 'Shopping Carts' section, as its name suggests, contains a list of all identified carts, with details included, as follows:
Press the "Snapshots" button to find more specific information on the cart content and actions performed within that cart. |
|
| Under "Snapshots" there are details on the cart content, visible at the moment of the last snapshot being taken. You will find there also the history of changes made by the client, such as:
|
|
| Right next to the shopping cart details you will find a button which after pressing shows a direct URL to the abandoned cart. |
|
|
| This URL can be automatically placed in the email message sent to a client provided a dedicated "Restore Abandoned Cart" option has been previously enabled (more here). On pressing, the client can get his abandoned cart restored and he will be allowed to continue shopping with the already filled in cart with all the items. You may also use this URL to resend it manually. |
|
| You may send email template reminders to preferred clients directly from the shopping carts list. Send emails to single clients or choose several recipients. |
|
|
Reminders
| "Reminders" is the clue section of the whole module. Compose the reminders settings to deliver adjusted notifications to clients who abandoned their cart. Press 'Create Reminder' button to create your first rule. |
|
Configure the reminder by providing the details as explained below:
Press 'Confirm' when your reminder configuration is ready. |
|
| The just created reminder rule will appear on the list with crucial details visible on the front page for a quick and easy preview. You may enable/disable the reminder, edit and delete it using the actions buttons. |
|

| Under the 'General Settings' section you will find the cron details - setting it up is crucial for the module's correct behavior and configuration.

|
Client Area
Email/Login Requirement
| Once an unlogged client visits your marketplace, they will be asked to leave some of their personal data. The extent of what exactly must be provided depends on the module configuration. |
The moment the client starts browsing your store, they will be either:
|
|
|
|
|
|
| If 'Log in' is selected, the potential customer will be redirected to the standard client area login page. |
|
| For 'Register' choice, the visitor will be asked to create a new account using a standard form. |
|
| Being logged in or leaving an email address is required for the module to be able to send email messages to clients reminding them about abandoned carts and their content. This is how an exemplary email notification sent to a client might look like: |
|
| Guest clients who leave only the email address and have no account in your system will get quite a similar notification email. Note: The system will open a new support ticket in a dedicated department at the same time. Only the assigned admin will have access to this ticket. |
|
Shopping Lists
| Clients have the convenience of storing their shopping carts to be viewed and finalized in the future. By clicking the "Save Cart" button while in your cart, the current contents of the cart will be promptly saved and stored in your shopping lists. |
|
|
| Once you have saved the cart as a shopping list, you can then access the list and manage it according to your needs. You will find the "My Shopping Lists" button in your account details dropdown menu. |
|
| Once you navigate to the "My Shopping Lists" page, you will find all your stored carts with basic details on the dashboard.
Allowed actions on a : - Shopping cart URL - Shopping cart items - Delete saved shopping cart |
|
| Clients may copy a direct URL to the cart and distribute it to others by providing them with the link. Upon opening the link, they will receive an identical copy of your shopping cart, allowing them to place their orders more quickly. |
|
| Explore the contents of this shopping list by previewing the items. Check details on the item types and their current availability in the store. |
|
| Easily remove individual carts or utilize the mass action button to eliminate multiple items at once. |
|
Tips
| 1. The module collects information on products, addons and domains left in the cart. No data on configurable options, custom fields etc. related to products is stored. |
| 2. Upon sending an email message to a guest client, i.e. when only email address is provided, a ticket is automatically opened to notify an admin about the fact of sending such notification. We advise creating a dedicated support department to avoid numerous tickets being visible in your main ticketing system. |
| 3. You can freely customize the content of breadcrumbs and messages visible to guests as well as logged in clients by editing them in the language file. The language file can be found in the following path: '/modules/addons/AbandonedCart/langs'. |
|
| 4. So as to protect your privacy and respect your decisions, clients may easily opt out of the Abandoned Cart module list of recipients. To do so, simply scroll down the notification email message and press the link to confirm your decision. Once processed, you will get a confirmation message about being successfully unsubscribed. |

How To Use Language Overrides
| Incorporating language customizations - the module readily accommodates language overrides, allowing you to tailor the language files to your preferences. The language file english.php remains unencoded and can be modified to suit your needs. However, it's recommended to avoid altering the core file itself, and instead, leverage the capability of using overrides. |
Here's how to apply language overrides:
~/langs/overrides/english.php.
For example: Original yourWHMCS/modules/servers/moduleName/langs/english.php: $_LANG['Search'] = 'Search'; Override yourWHMCS/modules/servers/moduleName/langs/overrides/english.php: $_LANG['Search'] = 'Look for'; |
| By following these steps, you can seamlessly implement language customizations without altering the core language file, ensuring your changes will not be lost after every module update. Remember that some of the modules have more than one language file, located under /addons and /servers paths. You may create the override files for both of them. |
Update Instructions
| An essential guidance through the process of updating the module to a higher version is offered here. Ensure successful completion of the module update by carefully following each step, thereby preventing data loss or any unforeseen issues. |
Upgrade Guide
