Installation and Configuration

This tutorial will show you how to successfully install and configure OX WHMCS Module. We will guide you step by step through the whole installation process.

Installation

1. Log in to our client area and download the module.

2. Extract the package and upload its content into the main WHMCS directory. The content of the package to upload should look like this.

4. When you install OX WHMCS Module for the first time, you have to rename the 'license_RENAME.php' file. The file is located in 'modules/servers/oxWHMCSModule/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'.

5. In order to configure your license key you have to edit the 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 our client area → 'My Products'.

6. The last step is to set up the 'storage' folder as recursively writable. This folder is available at '/yourWHMCS/modules/servers/oxWHMCSmodule/'.

Server Configuration

7. Now let's configure a new product. Log in to your WHMCS, proceed to 'System Settings' → 'Products/Services' → 'Servers'. Afterwards, press 'Add New Server'.

8. Next, enter your server name and Open Xchange server hostname or IP address. Choose 'oxWHMCAModule' from a dropdown menu and type in your username and password used to log in to OX server. Select 'Secure' if you use SSL for connection. Next, test your connection and press 'Save Changes' if successful.

9. After you configure your server correctly, you will see the following screen. Now you need to create a new group for your server. For that purpose press 'Create New Group'.

10. Enter name, click on your previously created server, press 'Add' then 'Save Changes'.

Product Configuration

11. In order to create and configure product, click on 'System Settings' → 'Products/Services'. If you do not have a product group, click on 'Create a New Group'. If you do, simply skip this step.

12. Enter a product group name and press 'Create Group'.

13. When you have a product group, you can create your product and assign it to OX WHMCS group. To create a product click on 'Create a New Product'.

14. Afterwards, choose your product type and product group from dropdown menus, enter your product name and press 'Continue'.

15. Now, go to the 'Module Settings' section, choose both 'oxWHMCSModule' and your previously created server group from dropdown menus.

16. Afterwards, define product settings of the module and press 'Save Changes'. Email Accounts Limit Email Aliases Limit Product Components Email Forwarders Limit Maximum Quota Per Email Account [MB] Maximum Quota Per Context [MB] Use Only WHMCS Own Domain Allow To Change Password

18. Additionally, you can replace the module static limit with dynamic one in the form of configurable options. Press 'Generate Default' near 'Configurable Options' to generate default set of them. More about management of configurable options can be found here.

This is what a properly created and configured product should look like from the administrator site.

Management

Let's customize your Zimbra Email For WHMCS and see what features it has in offer.

Client Area

Ordering Process

Order page view of a product with the 'Allow clients to choose Class Of Service' option selected:

Order page view of a product with the 'Allow Clients to choose Class Of Service Quota Per Account' option selected:

Management

Zimbra Email allows your customers to manage their Zimbra email accounts from your WHMCS client area. This is what its management page looks like in the client area. Move to the below sections to learn more details.

Email Accounts

Email Accounts section enables full management of accounts associated with your domain. You may edit existing accounts with a wide range of options and create new ones within defined limits.

Press 'Add Mailbox' to create a new account. Fill out the fields to provide any details on the account owner. Only fields marked with an asterisk are obligatory. Note: The 'Quota' field is available to select only if Class of service 'Quota Per Account' is used for the product. If the limit has been reached, the client will not be able to create an account. Important: Remember that password is also verified by Zimbra. It is advised to set up default limits in Zimbra panel, within which the password settings can be modified in the module.

If you wish, you can provide more details of a new account in the 'Additional Information' tab, although it is not required for the account creation.

You can order various operations on a single account using buttons marked on the screen . You are allowed to change the account's status and password, log in directly to a mailbox, edit its details or delete it. Alternatively, you can select multiple accounts and issue command on them as well using buttons above the list of accounts. Note: The 'Last Login' column shows only the date of the last manual login. When using the "Log In To Mailbox" feature, its date is not registered by the API here.

Email Aliases

Email Aliases enable you to create and use additional address for the same e-mail account. Note: Email aliases are created within the same email domain. Read more about Domain Aliases below.

Any aliases can be quickly removed through pressing an adequate icon or using mass actions.

Distribution Lists

Distribution lists enable you to create and manage them without the necessity to log in to Zimbra panel.

Create them in the same way you would do that in Zimbra panel. Start with entering an email address, then move to assigning members to the list. Proceed with setting detailed options.

Remember that in order to enable the distribution list on its creation, you must select option 'Can Receive Mail' in the 'Properties' section.

Assign email aliases if you have any.

You may also add/remove owners of the list.

As soon as you set the last preferences, press 'Confirm' to finally create the distribution list.

If you made a mistake while creating a list, you can quickly edit it or remove it completely.

Domain Aliases

Domain Aliases option allows you to create more than one domain name that will refer to the same account. Add a new domain alias, like on the below screen, and no matter which address used, emails will be delivered to the same mailbox.

When a domain alias is no longer needed, simply delete it by pressing an icon.
